Over the past decade, scientific evidence has mounted that global warming is accelerating and that it is caused by human activity. For much of his presidency, George W. Bush dismissed concerns about global warming as an unproven theory. Although the former president’s position had softened by 2007, the executive branch did little to develop policies that would reduce global warming. Congress stepped into this policy vacuum in 2007, as members introduced bills aimed at curbing global warming. To highlight the importance of the issue to Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) created a new House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. The creation of the new committee signaled Democratic Congresss intention to lead the way in devising policies to address global warming.Yet there is significant disagreement on what the best policies are for addressing global warming. How much regulation is necessary, and how tough should those regulations be? What impact would strict regulation have on economic growth? These are the questions that Congress confronts as it seeks to act on global warming. Those favoring tougher regulations emphasize the need for quick and strong action to stop global warming. Speaker Pelosi sought to highlight these arguments soon after she took office.In early 2007, Pelosi took the unusual step of testifying before the House Committee on Science and Technology to urge passage of a mandatory “cap-and-trade system.” Mandatory caps would limit the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that industries could put into the air. Under such a system, industries that exceed their caps can buy emissions credits from industries whose emissions are lower than the amount allowed. In addition, those favoring tough regulation supported higher mileage standards for automobiles. On the other side of the issue are members of Congress who oppose government regulation and point to the potential economic damage that such regulations can cause.One of the most influential opponents of Pelosi’s regulatory approach to global warming was her fellow Democrat John Dingell (Mich.), who was, at that time, chair of the critically important House Energy and Commerce Committee. A powerful advocate for the automobile industry throughout his fifty-plus years in Congress, Dingell vociferously opposed Pelosi’s agenda. Anxious to avoid any competition against his committee, Dingell demanded that the new Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming have no power to propose legislation. When Pelosi conceded to his demand, Dingell derided the new committee as “about as useful as side pockets on a cow.” Although Dingell came to support a cap-and-trade system for regulating greenhouse gases, he continued to resist higher mileage-per-gallon standards for automobiles, on the grounds that they would cause the auto industry to bear a disproportionate cost of addressing global warming.[1]These divisions made it difficult for Congress to reach agreement on an energy bill in 2007, as the Senate and House passed bills with conflicting provisions, and proponents of the cap-and-trade system introduced separate legislation. The new select committee held hearings to highlight the issue of global warming and to keep it on the agenda, but it could do little else.In 2009, a House energy bill passed containing a cap-and-trade system, by a vote of 219212. Forty-four Democrats voted against the bill, a split that showed regional and ideological divisions among Democrats, especially between those representatives from areas that depend on the coal industry and heavy manufacturing and liberal Democrats from the East and West coasts. The measure was unable to get enough support to pass the Senate, and, as the 2010 elections neared, opposition to cap-and-trade systems became one of the major points of the Tea Party movement.In the face of these disagreements, Congress acted where it found common ground by increasing spending to promote “green technologies.” Although this spending conveyed a new sense of purpose in addressing climate change, the hard work of crafting a forceful set of policies to address climate change still lay ahead. [1]In a rare departure from the seniority system, Dingell was voted out as Energy and Commerce chair in 2008 and replaced by California Democrat Henry Waxman, an environmentalist who was frustrated by Dingell’s stalling of environmental legislation that would affect the auto industry. a.

A model outline is provided on the Assignments tab.
Your essay should include a total of four authors chosen from the list on the 2nd page. The topic should be chosen from one of the options listed below (Choose one). 1) The American Dream is a powerful myth that suggests that everyone can achieve success through hard work and determination. Yet, for many African American writers the myth is often hollow or and can even become a nightmare. The denial of possibility in a land that espouses possibility as a foundational principle often results in sense of rage. In a well-developed, unified essay with a clearly articulated thesis statement and specific examples (including direct quotes) identify and analyze how the reality of the American Dream is exposed and critiqued in the texts of four of the authors listed on the 2nd page. 2) In his landmark work The Souls of Black Folks (1903), W.E.B. DuBois examined a number of issues that related to black life in America. He identified the concept of double-consciousness: One ever feels his two-ness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. Many African American authors have examined and illustrated the contradictory nature of being both black and American. In a well-developed, unified essay with a clearly articulated thesis statement and specific examples (including direct quotes) identify and analyze how double-consciousness is represented and explored in the texts of four of the authors listed on the 2nd page. 3) In her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston described the black woman as de mule of de world the mule of the worldas a way describing the double marginalization of African American women in terms of both race and gender. This issue has surfaced in the novels, short stories, poems and plays of many black writers throughout the evolution of the black literary tradition. In a well-developed, unified essay with a clearly articulated thesis statement and specific examples (including direct quotes) identify and analyze how this double marginalization of women is represented in the texts of four of the authors listed on the 2nd page. 4) Throughout their experience in America, African Americans have continuously engaged in the creative/expressive arts efforts to survive, resist and transcend American racism and re-member a connection to an African-based identity and heritage. In a well-developed, unified essay with a clearly articulated thesis statement and specific examples (including direct quotes) identify and analyze how this attempt to reconnect with Africa is represented in the texts of four of the authors listed on the 2nd page. Choose four (4) of the following authors to analyze based on one of the topics on the previous page:
Oral tradition spirituals (Go Down Moses, etc.; folk tales (tricksters, flying Africans, etc.)
Phillis Wheatley Richard Allen David Walker Benjamin Banneker Frederick Douglass Sojourner Truth Harriet Jacobs Sarah Parker Remond Frances E.W. Harper William Wells Brown

OR CHOICE 2 In 2013 Rev Ltd set up as a small car manufacturing company. Over the last few years, car sales have increased steadily though they still only have about 1% of the car sales market in the UK. Their main selling point is that they are eco-friendly and cost-efficient. Rev Ltd has just invented a new emissions control system. Recent test results show that this new system will cut the emission of carbon monoxide gas to zero. This will allow them to break into the European car market. Rev Ltd has applied for a patent on their new system. Rev Ltd has recently learned that Renton, the largest car manufacturer in Europe, is about to launch their own new emissions control system, which appears to have exactly the same technology as that of Rev Ltd. Rev Ltd fear that this is a copy of their system and is a breach of their patent. Mr Smith, the managing director of Rev Ltd is also worried about another matter. He has been contacted recently by Mr Jones, the editor of Bottom Gear which is the UKs top-selling car magazine. Mr Jones said that he has been given confidential Rev Ltd documents which prove that the results of Rev Ltd tests on its new emissions control system were fixed and not honestly obtained. Mr Smith has denied these accusations but is concerned as Mr Jones has said that he will publish the story in the next issue of Bottom Gear, which is due to go to press in one week. Advise Mr Smithon any equitable remedies that may be available to Rev Ltd.
