Agriculture as climate killer in the United States

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: The following essay deals with agriculture as a polluter and contributor to climate change in the United States. I have chosen this topic because it currently has a high degree of relevance in the world, and I am very interested in this topic. I have also chosen this theme because I like to analyse current issues to determine the problems of the topic, and to calculate the impacts and to potentially find ways to solve problems. I think a good analysis of this topic needs to be made. In recent decades attention has increasingly been drawn to global climate change because of the belief that changes are happening to the earth. Today the visible consequences seem like they are increasingly occurring. Examples of this are severe natural disasters, global warming and this in turn causes increased social disparities, especially so in developing countries. Practices related to agriculture are a main polluter and therefore a contributor to climate change and a climate, especially in the United States. I will show this with my essay. For this I explain the reasons, problems, impacts and solutions. In addition, Ill show the view of the U.S. Government and what people can do about this problem.
