Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1Q
The chapter concluded with a quote from John Holdren: “Global warming is a misnomer, because it implies something that is gradual, something that is uniform, something that is quite possibly benign. What we are experiencing with climate change is none of those things.” Use examples to:
- a. explain why climate change is not uniform.
- b. explain why it is not gradual, at least in comparison to how quickly social and environmental systems can adjust.
- c. explain why it probably will not be benign.
