Nations across the globe are dealing with the effects of global warming. As the Earth's temperature rises, we are seeing dramatic examples of how that plays out for Earth's inhabitants. These examples include many animal species becoming extinct as habitats decrease or change; more frequent and more devastating fires in Australia and the western United States; rising water covering the city streets of Venice, Italy and threatening homes and farmland in The Netherlands; intense heat waves in India killing humans and animals alike. Here in North Carolina, we have seen more severe storms in the last year than in any 12-month period since weather reporting began in our area. Last summer, many people in our area complained about the abundance and ferocity of poison ivy. It turns out that increased CO2 levels in the environment create perfect conditions for poison ivy to thrive. What responsibility do we owe our fellow human beings to protect the environment? What responsibility do we…
Germany is trying to lower its CO2 emissions by phasing out coal-based electricity production through the forced closure of coal power plants. Why is this policy, even if it is successful in lowering Germany’s CO2 emissions, unlikely to result in lower emissions at the European scale?a) this policy does nothing to address the emissions from the transportation sector, which far outweigh those of coalb) CO2 produced in Germany stays in Germany, and thus has no bearing on the European scalec) Germany has already made substantial reductions to its CO2 output, so that it is a small player on the European scaled) Germany is a member of the European Emissions Trading System (ETS), which sets a binding cap on greenhouse gas emissionse) coal power production in Germany has become extremely efficient, so that its CO2 footprint is insubstantial
