Obama against climate change as a result of pollution
Obama,
free from the constraints of a new campaign, launched an ambitious plan
to reduce emissions and defining it as a moral obligation to ensure
that future generations a less polluted world. The
core of the program is to dramatically reduce the use of coal to
produce electricity and then convert the power stations with this
combustible. The
instrument identified will be the increased use of renewable energy, a
sector that should see considerably increased the total investment to
date dedicated. Investments
that will be of direct and indirect, through a policy of tax incentives
that can carry private resources with the ultimate aim of improving the
quality of the environment. For
the President of the United States are to be regarded in a very
important, even the benefits induced, able to reduce direct costs of
more and more natural disasters that are occurring, not only in the US
but also in the rest of the planet and that, besides
causing destruction with obvious economic benefits, they are also the
cause of increasing food shortages, which result in substantial
increases in migratory movements. The
greenhouse effect has caused a rise in temperatures, which is directly
related to emissions, resulting from the use of materials, the cost of
which has fallen dramatically, but that involve more contributions in
terms of health, environmental prevention, restructuring following disasters and reduced quality of life. The
need, identified by the tenant of the White House, is to face the
consequences of climate change and reverse the trend that has
established itself in recent years dangerously; it is an ambitious goal, that only a president at the end of his term may face so clearly and net. Of
course Obama can only lay the foundations of this program, and then
entrust it to his successor, provided that the new president will agree
with these aims and agree colliding heavily with many lobby,
representing the interests of the extractive of coal. Hillary
Clinton, the most likely candidate of the Democratic Party expressed
its agreement with the environmental issues raised by Obama, the rest in
the US, there is a very broad movement that puts environmental issues
at the top and this program will only be accepted favorably; However
it is likely that this issue can do win support for the opposing party:
in fact one of the possible Republican candidates Jeb Bush, spoke of
undue interference in the sovereignty of the energy policies of the
individual federal states and the difficulties that will arise in the
coal industry, with the closure of mining sites, which cause a large number of unemployed. In
fact, the balance of employment could be close to zero, because, while
it will cause a decrease in jobs, on the other hand, the magnitude of
the planned investments, estimated at about 8.8 billion dollars per year
until 2030, with a cut harmful emissions by 32%, offset by an increase in renewable sources of 28%, should contain the loss of jobs. Obama's
move aims to have a positive impact at the international level, where,
as an ally has already found the Pope, author of an encyclical on the
environment. But
also in the newly industrialized countries, such as China and India in,
the theme is increasingly central to the domestic agenda, because the
economic and social costs, that pollution is causing, constituting a
source of increasing attention by
citizens, who often gather in groups to put pressure on governments to
reduce the impact of pollution on the environment, even at the expense
of economic growth considerable.
