Abstract

This project will use a scaled list of different country’s environmental policies. This ranks them so the strictest will be differentiable from the least strict. This will be compared against a countries greenhouse gases output while taking into consideration the main industries of the country, size, population, the punishments for violating the environmental laws, and other variables. The goal is to find what type of greenhouse gas regulating is the most effective while taking into consideration that one plan may not be the best for every type of economy and industry.
