Newspaper: A shift in the Debate Over Global Warming

Global warming is probably the most talked-about and researched-about environmental crisis that is often being said to be just a theory. Our entire world and the nations in it are continuing to excavate more about this world issue and nowadays, the means to slow down the environmental hazard emerges with a number of debates.
The article has been published on the New York Times with a title of, "A shift in the Debate Over Global Warming." This article constitutes and informs about the old ways of which the leaders of the Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change dealt with this issue and the criticism and debating suspicions of how the old ways were not very effective. The old attempt primarily focused on "imposing caps on greenhouse gas emissions to prod energy users to conserve or switch to nonpolluting technologies." (Quoted straight from the website.) However, the recent date has proven it to be inefficient: there has been an unpredictable rise in global emission and a decline in energy efficiency, a growing chorus of economists.
The economist Jeffrey D. Sachs shares his perspective on this matter. He states that our current technology cannot bolster and subsidize a decline in carbon dioxide emissions as well as an expanding global economy. This viewpoint has not only been Sachs' but also agreed by many others. They belive that what is imminently needed is the development of technology that would allow advanced low-carbon technologies. But this cannot be done without significant amount of money. There are those of others who still underscores the importance of capping emissions. Meanwhile, some countries such as China and India are enhancing the economic growth that would most likely help the reduction of carbon emissions.
I personally enjoyed this article a lot. it provided different point of views on the same topic of Global Warming. Thus, it enabled the readers to have fairly objectly and broaden our perspectives by judging different statements.
