ΔT = average global temperature change (°C) E T = cumulative carbon dioxide emissions (Tt C) ΔC A = change in atmospheric carbon (Tt C) and, 1Tt C = 3.7 Tt CO 2. TCRE can also be defined not in terms of temperature response to emitted carbon, but in terms of temperature response to the change in radiative forcing: [10]
Legal actions to affect climate change by federal and state-level governments have been attempted since the 1990s; one of the first known cases was led by Antonio Oposa, a Philippine lawyer that represented a class-action suit of 43 students against the Philippine government to protect a forest surrounding their village.

The climate change policy of the United States has major impacts on global climate change and global climate change mitigation.This is because the United States is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world after China, and is among the countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions per person in the world.
According to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, Americans in all 50 states support the education of climate change to children in schools. [ 21 ] In 2020, the New Jersey State Board of Education adopted new learning standards which integrate climate change across all content areas; [ 22 ] the standards came into effect with the ...
It refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity." [ 28 ] In its latest assessment on climate change, the IPCC found that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal" and that the anthropogenic component of this warming over the last thirty years has likely had a discernible ...
