  • Energy Policy Has Become A Racket And The Madness Must Stop By Judith Sloan

    475 Words  | 2 Pages

    The state government's approach on Australia’s energy policy has provoked much debate in recent media. The Australian opinion piece, titled ‘Energy policy has become a racket and the madness must stop’ (November 7, 2016) was written by an Australian economist, Judith Sloan, in response to this debate. Sloan presents a mocking and skeptical tone where she argues that ‘it’s time for the federal government to intervene to stop this madness’. She attacks the Australian state governments by portraying its management techniques which are contrary to her ideals as foolish, uncaring and deceitful. This creates distrust of this section of the government in the audience and further supports her view by using evidence and appeals to hip pocket nerve to gain approval of ‘the Australian taxpayer’.

    They are two crucial aspects to the topic of energy, but are not included by the UN. A determinant reason that millions of people across the globe have to resort to biomass to cook is that the cost associated with modern energy makes it less accessible (Birol, p.1). This unfortunate situation is due to many reasons. A key reason is that many of the resources required to install energy plants are disproportionally controlled by a few geopolitical actors. This causes large fluctuations on the commodity prices all over the globe, making not only modern energy, but also other basic human development targets, such as shelters and transportations less attainable (Regnier, p.2).

  • Causes Of The Debt Crisis In The 1980s

    2045 Words  | 9 Pages

    The purpose of this essay is to examine the debt crisis that took place in the 1980s by assessing the role of the international bankers as well as the government’s role in both debtor and creditor nations. Once Mexico announced that they could not repay their debt, soon after countries such as Brazil and Argentina followed the same path, resulting in developing countries being faced with a debt crisis (Carmichael 1989, 121). Although majority of the outcomes were negative, surprisingly the debt crisis led to positive outcomes, for example secondary markets were established, industrial countries experienced low-inflationary growth and banks’ balance sheets in creditor nations were strengthened (Carmichael 1989, 121). This essay will not only address the causes and origins of the debt crisis in the 1980s, but more importantly draw attention to the ways in which this debt crisis may have been prevented. It is imperative to first define the debt crisis as well as to determine the origin and causes of the debt crisis in the 1980s before one can provide an explanation for the actions of the bankers and governments who were involved.

    Water is an essential factor for survival for all species and the number one ingredient to sustain life, without water nothing would survive. As many Californians already know – or should know by now – California is in a severe drought as of 2012 and has been in a drought for the past 100 years and so on. California has a “Mediterranean” climate where it has a concentrated rainy season followed by a long dry season. For the fourth year in a row the rainy period has not begun, and as Griffin and Anchukaitis state, “the current event is the most severe drought in the last 1200 years.” Now the question is, is the current severe drought due to manmade global warming or due to natural causes in the weather patterns?
