Introduction My aim in compiling this portfolio was to
reflect on the things that have struck me throughout this
crazy module. My starting point for doing this was to
revisit my opinions to the multiple choice questions which
were presented in the Crossroads assignment. I present
these current opinions, together with my original
opinions, and some brief notes in the section entitled:
“Back at the Crossroads!” Once I have done this, I draw
some key conclusions about this crazy module and about
the things that did indeed strike me. Back at the
Crossroads! 1. (YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS
QUESTION) “Unless fossil-fuel use slows dramatically, the
earth’s average temperature could rise by six degrees
Celsius in the next 100 years.” My personal opinion on
this statement is most closely described by: a. Who
cares?
In reflecting on this statement from the Crossroads assignment, it's essential to consider the
broader implications of global climate change and its long-term impact on our planet. The
projection that the Earth's average temperature could rise by six degrees Celsius within the next
century is alarming, as it suggests that without significant reduction in fossil fuel usage, the
effects of global warming will be catastrophic.
Original Opinion: "Who cares?" At first glance, I may have held an indifferent view towards
this statement, thinking that climate change might not directly affect me or that it is an
exaggerated concern. This casual dismissal could stem from a lack of awareness or
understanding of the severity of the issue at the time.
Current Opinion: Upon further reflection, my perspective has shifted significantly. I now
realize that climate change is not just an environmental issue but one that intersects with health,
economics, and social justice. The consequences of a six-degree rise in temperature include
rising sea levels, increased frequency of natural disasters, loss of biodiversity, and severe food
and water shortages. These changes will disproportionately affect vulnerable populations,
exacerbating inequalities.
