The major obstacle to creating policies that address global warming stems from the conflict between economic development and environmental protection. Economic development often involves activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions, such as industrial production and fossil fuel consumption. On the other hand, environmental protection requires the implementation of measures that limit these activities to reduce emissions and preserve natural resources. This creates a tension between the immediate economic benefits of development and the long-term necessity of protecting the environment. Effective policy-making must find a balance between these two priorities, promoting sustainable practices and investing in clean technologies to ensure that economic growth does not come at the expense of environmental health.
