Climate Change Issue
Climate change is an issue attracting global concern not only in Canada but also in the world nations causing adverse effects to the living organisms. The sprouting and development of industrialization in Canada is a major issue contributing towards the negative aspect in climate. The increase in human activities has been lamented due to the less concern on the environment. People resulted in working without controlling the waste products produced (Dupuis, & Biesbroek, 2013). These substances were dispatched to the ecosystem and resulting in growth of pollution both to the environment. The issue that resulted in the environment becoming prone to diseases and the air in circulation was not fit for breathing. The initiation of federal law played significant role in controlling the influence of human activities on the environment.
The climate change issue led to emergence of new weather patterns that could not easily get predicted. It was an aspect that was mainly geared to by the dominance of pollution. It is scientific as science heavily relies on devising mechanisms of making relevant predictions. Climate changes induced such challenge-subjecting scientist to devise best strategies of tackling numerous aspects. Politically, climate change signifies increase in the cost of making curbing policies and these costs the government additional expenses (Kasischke, & Stocks, 2012). When tackling climate change in the angle of philosophies, it means that philosophers have to come up with theories and ways of improving the people’s perceptions in making them change for better. Consideration of all these aspects, we realize that climate change affects any country negatively in philosophically, scientifically, as well politically. Each sector has to play profound role in ensuring climatic change issues never dominate the state.

Canada’s Commitment
The Canada state is aware of what the global organizations regulating climate are advocating. In the recent past, the government has set legislations and regularities that organizations must strictly follow in response to environmental protection. According to Wolf, Allice, and Bell, (2013), the pollution bill that was developed to regulate the influence of industrialization on climate resulted in being of significant importance to the inhabitants of Canada. People are currently living in an environmentally friendly ecosystem as the strict laws put in place bar the industries from conducting their business in non-professional ways. In its endeavors towards addressing climatic aspects, the government has increased funds set for creating awareness on the need to protect the environment (Schmidt, Ivanova, & Schäfer, 2013). Increased funding has led to many people getting to know the essence of protecting the environment thus preventing its encroachment. The empowerment of the society through civil education is immense and citizens are encouraged to plan as many trees as possible as one way of reducing the adverse effects of bad gases dominance in the atmosphere. Currently, there exists debate in progress regarding the abolishment of pipeline transportation of oil due to the negative impacts it causes to aquatic lives upon accidental spillages. The government is comparing substituting the use of fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy such as solar. It is so as these fuels result in emission of poisonous gases among other adverse effects that are resulting in the high incidences of climatic change.

INDC Commitment
The set 30% reduction rate may not be an easy task within the Canada state. It is since many people are shifting towards adoption of greenhouse farming due to its high productivity compared to the other means of farming. The aspect is attributing to increased emission of the greenhouse gases that affect the atmospheric air circulation in a negative manner. The set taxes of $10 may not affect the operations of people in the country since according to an economic perspective seem to be low and manageable. The issue is therefore limiting the actualization of INDC by 2030 as the vision stipulates (Cameron, 2012). The locals are criticizing the policy saying they were never consulted but the government decided to implement the policies without their input. It is an aspect that limits the viability of this policy taking place and thus stimulating towards emergence of disagreements. Global countries have resulted in having differentiated goals in the approach towards climatic change. For example, most of the third world countries have set higher percentages above 30% of Canada since environmental pollution issues were high relative to those of Canada. According to Victor, (2012), the Saskatchewan and Manitoba provinces of Canada revealed disagreements in the implementation of INDC of 30%. Saskatchewan totally disagreed to controlling the degradation the predetermined rate by 2030 while Manitoba was positive on the issue. The disparities accrued due to the manner in which policy regulators in the two provinces thought. Most of the other provinces were passionate about the issue since they could see the long lasting benefits. The taxes imposed are considered unfair by the residents of Saskatchewan resulting in raising alarm on the INDC progress. Emphasis on the environment and need of supporting friendly and fair environment was less in the province. They though citizens had less work to do in enhancing actualization of the INDC but were to only work towards their individual tasks. This was a disparity compared to Manitoba residents with motivation. They were eager to monitor progress and control of the environment making it remain hospitable and meaningful. Finally, politics in the Saskatchewan province spread that the polices of the INDC were a conspiracy made to limit the ability of the provinces to execute their functions by dictating them on do and don’t projects. All these are some of the reasons that greatly influenced towards the widening of the gap in view of INDC as far as the policy took precedence. Manitoba and other most provinces had positive attitude through the INDC citizens would result in mitigation of environmental problems. They needed to experiment by getting to hear the positive responses upon mitigating any pollution dominance. Through strong leadership endowed in the leaders of the provinces, they could realize how the aspect was beneficial to economic integration. The supporting provinces argued that by 2030, the world could be better place that it is currently only if the commitment of all stakeholders remained positive and directed towards success. The high percentage of acceptance contributed significantly in the commitment and devotion towards attainment of the INDC’s projected visions.
From my perspective, I view the INDC good due to the long-term benefit likely to induce in the economy. It should therefore result in getting implementation gradually even if it means addition of the set timelines but ensure all people involved in the greenhouse effect are given adequate time to adjust. Through continuous sensitization and government support that contributes towards showing them better investment opportunities, they will result in developing strong ecologically friendly projects. In the process, the rate of pollution shall become mitigated making prevalence of illness resulting from climatic changes to decline to a quantifiable extent.
