consider buying a more fuel-efficient car or spend more on plane flights to purchase "carbon credits" to do your part in decreasing the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide? Why or why not?
Recent research has suggested that global
warming is contributing to the increased fre-
quency and severity of El Niño events. This
can cause severe drought in India and
Africa, as well as greatly reduce fish catch in
parts of the Southern Hemisphere. Should
the responsibility for decreasing greenhouse
gas emissions be greater for more-developed
countries (MDCs) because they produce a
greater amount of greenhouse gases per
capita than less-developed countries
(LDCs), even though El Niños have more
severe consequences for LDCs?
Aside from the recent increases in gasoline
prices, would you consider buying a more
fuel-efficient car or spend more on plane
flights to purchase "carbon credits" to do
your part in decreasing the emission of
greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide?
Why or why not?
