what are technological solutions that can address climate change?
Switching to a smart electric grid, mitigating short-lived climate
pollutants, and increasing non-fossil-fuel energy sources
why are the effects of climate change are viewed differently by
populations in different countries?
Different groups of people in the same region can be affected
differently
it allows the price of carbon dioxide admissions to be adjusted.
influence solutions to climate change.
what 3 things influence solutions to climate change?
,Cost-effectiveness, externality, and government subsidies
why is cross-border migration is less likely to occur from fully developed
countries?
their governments have the resources to care for affected citizens
How do wealthy individuals contribute to higher levels of climate
change?
by investing in fossil-fuels for personal financial gain, living a high
consumption lifestyle, and setting the tone for consumption to which
everybody aspires.
How can people in advantaged circumstances can mitigate climate
change?
providing aid to populations struggling to adapt, initiating social
strategies on climate communication, and educating individuals on
the impact to their personal wellbeing.
why do policy makers choose a carbon tax over a command-based
regulation to reduce carbon emissions?
,it would increase overall tax revenue of governments, it would
encourage individuals with rebates to switch to renewable resources,
and it would increase global pressure for a faster energy transition
process.
why is a direct carbon tax viewed by policy makers as "better" than a
cap-and-trade system?
"the monetary total of global damages caused by carbon dioxide
emissions at a given point in time."
the social cost of carbon
what is the purpose of an integrated assessment model?
to calculate the social cost of carbon
how do fuel cells offer a partial solution to climate change?
they are widely deployable and zero-emitting
how does the electric battery technology provide a partial solution to
climate change?
, they can store energy generated by renewable sources, they can
absorb unused energy, and be used alongside hydro, solar, and wind
power.
how can Methane emissions be mitigated?
by using covered anaerobic digesters for livestock waste, draining rice
fields to expose soil, and capturing methane using gas wells.
What about the Holocene era enabled the agricultural revolution?
climate stability
when did the sharp increase in global temperatures begin?
1950's
What temperature increase would have catastrophic climate change
results?
1-4 degrees Celsius
