According to the World Health Organization, human activities such as the burning of fuel have

led to increased release of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the lower part of the
atmosphere, thus causing climate change. Reducing the amount of greenhouse emitted in the
atmosphere leads to better transport, food, and a better energy source, thereby leading to
improved health through reduced air pollution. Although climate change may have some
benefits, such as reducing the number of deaths during winters, climate change's health effects
are extremely negative. Climate change harms individuals' health, which is determined by clean
air, sufficient food, safe water, and secure shelter. Extremely high temperatures contribute to
deaths from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. World Health Organization released a
framework that can help combat climate change, which includes partnerships, raising
awareness, conducting research, and implementing a response to climate change. The United
States is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases and has implemented policies that aim
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to help combat climate change. Still, many Americans think
the government has done little to reduce climate change.

The United States has implemented policies that are in line with the Paris agreement. The Paris
agreement is based on self-determination; hence, it requires implementing ambitious policies
that can assist in controlling climate change. The Paris agreement hinges on voluntary pledges
that are useful in controlling climate change. The United States, through the implementation of
domestic policies, can control the emission of greenhouse gases. By implementing policies to
prevent greenhouse gas emissions, the United States also promotes the global public good,
hence promoting the well-being of people globally.

Another way used by the United States in dealing with climate change through direct
regulation. The United States policies that President Biden's administration will implement seek
to protect people from the pollution of the environment by taking action against fossil fuel
companies that make a profit in ways that harm people's well-being through environmental
pollution. This policy's main aim is to ensure that fossil fuel companies do not harm the
environment by polluting the air, land, and water. The policies on fossil fuel companies will also
ensure that fossil fuel companies disclose all the information regarding any potential threat to
the environment and its impact on people's health and safety in the community. President
Biden's policies aim to make climate change "national security" and "foreign policy" a priority.
President Biden also aims to safeguard at least thirty percent of oceans and federal lands by
2030. Mr. Biden directed the department of interior to stop gas and oil drilling leases on federal
water and lands.

Despite the steps taken by the United States to reduce the impacts of climate change, many
Americans still think that the federal government needs to do more. Many Americans favor
various initiatives to lessen the effects of climate change, including planting trees and offering a
tax credit. Public concern over climate change has been increasing as many Americans think
that the government is not playing a larger role in controlling climate change which is largely
contributed by human activity. To lessen the effects of climate change in America and globally,
many Americans favor planting trees all over the world to assist in absorbing greenhouse gases.
Furthermore, many Americans also support the proposal of using a tax credit for carbon
capture technology. Most Americans favor the proposal for having tougher restrictions on
power plants to reduce their emissions. Most Americans also favor the taxing of corporations
based on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions they emit to combat climate change. Many
Americans, besides, many Americans believe that the use of renewable energy will be useful in
controlling climate change.

To conclude, the United States being one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, has
implemented policies that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change.
Still, many Americans think the government has done little to reduce climate change. The
United States has implemented policies that are in line with the Paris agreement. The Paris
