University of Oxford philosopher, John Broome, says that people should think through ethical choices explicitly. Raven, Berg, Hassenzhual Source? These choices can include benefit distribution appropriately and across the present population of the planet, the costs associated with climate change policies. For future generations, how we act will put an impact on climate change with limited impacts. Opposed to expected outcomes used to economic modeling, as outcomes of climate change is to the correct weighting of potential catastrophic worst case.

Gifford Pinchot was first appointed as the head of the United States Forest Service by Theodore Roosevelt.

Roles in managing ocean resources, combating the ozone hole, and limiting acid rain have played a role in diplomacy. Understanding climate science and effective international negotiation is depending on the future of the climate of the Earth.
Government often uses pollution-control laws that require specific technologies, which are command, and control regulations. To reduce emissions with incentives providing industries and emission targets established are pollution-control laws that work in incentive-based regulations. In 1970, the Clean Air Act passed to improve air quality in the United States. The Clean Air Act authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to set limits in the United States of how much of specific air pollutants are allowed (Raven, Berg, Hassenzhual 2010). The decline of lead has the most dramatic improvement. Also reductions in sulfur
