03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.
a) Write down your emotional feelings for the words “anger, responsibility, hope and indifference” in connection with the topic of climate change.
b) Which kind of emotion do you feel most strongly in connection with the topic of climate change? (This does not have to be one of the four mentioned above). Explain the reasons why.
A key issue in the debate on climate change is how muchwill it cost to reduce Greenhousegas emission levels. Many believe that the cost of delay is much higher than the cost of immediate action. We have to analyse dispassionately (NO EMOTIONS!) where the good niches to act exist and where the obstacles lie, both technically and personally . We need to study sustainable development approaches around the world that have succeeded and failed, and draw lessons about the way to proceed further.
