Question

As An Analyst At A Policy Think Tank Choose One Between Brookings I As an analyst at a Policy Think Tank (choose one between – Brookings Institute, Center for American Progress, Rand Corporation, or Heritage Foundation), you must write a research article on whether US automobile makers should tackle climate change issues. For the article you must conduct analysis about the impact to Global Warning and Greenhouse gases that the Big Three US automobile manufacturers contribute and whether they should seek to mitigate. Your analysis must consider the pros and cons of Electrical Vehicle (EV) manufacturing and make recommendations about whether your assigned company should reduce, continue or expand production of EVs in place of fossil-fuel powered vehicles. The impetus for this article is to summarize how EV production by US automobile manufacturers impact climate change and to publish an article on whether the EV production by US manufacturers should be continued at same levels, expanded, or reduced. The period of study is from 2010 to present. Please Note -- My Assigned Firm for Recommendations is - GM

The role of the automotive industry in climate change mitigation has become increasingly prominent amidst global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). As a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, especially from fossil-fuel-powered vehicles, US automobile manufacturers such as General Motors (GM) are at the forefront of the transition toward sustainable transportation. This paper analyzes GM's impact on climate change from 2010 to present, focusing on its production of electric vehicles (EVs), evaluating the pros and cons of EV manufacturing, and offering strategic recommendations tailored to GM’s commitment to environmental stewardship and market competitiveness. Introduction The transportation sector constitutes approximately 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, predominantly owing to fossil fuel combustion in internal combustion engine vehicles (International Energy Agency [IEA], 2021). US automakers, with GM being one of the largest manufacturers, have historically contributed significantly to these emissions. The increasing urgency to limit global temperature rise to below 1.5°C necessitates transformative shifts in automotive manufacturing and consumer usage patterns (IPCC, 2021). GM's strategic positioning concerning EV production has garnered attention, given the global EV market's rapid expansion and the regulatory pressures compelling automakers to reduce GHG footprints. Impact of GM on Climate Change from 2010 to Present GM's historical contribution to GHG emissions stems primarily from its fleet of internal combustion engine vehicles. While GM's overall vehicle production expanded during the early 2010s, its environmental impact remained substantial due to continued reliance on fossil fuels. However, the company's commitment to electrification has marked a significant paradigm shift. Starting in the mid-2010s, GM committed to an all-electric future, aiming to eliminate tailpipe emissions from its fleet (GM, 2021). The introduction
