Question
Climate and environmental change policy
First
select contemporary policy (state or local) and share with the class the key
elements of the policy. Then, analyze the driving forces of the shaping and
implementation of this policy. Which theories of politics (elite, group,
rational choice, or political systems) were at play and how is this evident
through the policymaking process? You must include one of the theories listed
in each of your responses and how it applies. Use facts to
back your analysis rather than using emotion, opinion, or talking points from
some organization. Remember "pink", "baby", and
similar popular terms do not describe a tax. Be sure to give the official title
and use scholarly sources to learn about it. Stay on the topic of the
discussion. This week, that is theory of politics rather than giving opinions
about the policies your classmates use.
Expert Solution
Recently, the US president
signed the consolidated appropriations act(CAA) to help mitigate the rising
emissions of greenhouse gases(GHG) responsible for the rapid climate change.
The act aims to regulate the energy use of federal buildings, homes, schools,
and industries. A global climate change has led to excess heat, rains, and
drought in different parts. Therefore, the GHG policy, the consolidated
appropriations act(CAA), has been enacted in line with the political system
theory to mitigate the harmful effects of GHG.
