Transition to a Low Carbon Society

Drawing on what you have learned throughout the course and your response to the focus questions in Topic 3, consider the following question: What is an appropriate response to the problem of climate change? In answering this question, you will need to consider what sorts of actions you think are appropriate for government, business, and individuals to take. Are government and industry, for example, doing enough to address this problem? If not, provide some examples of additional measures that you think are necessary. How important do you think economic considerations are? What sort of lifestyle changes, if any, are you prepared to make? Would you consider giving up your SUV for a hybrid car? Would you be prepared to give up your car? Do you agree with British Columbia’s revenue-neutral carbon tax? Explain your position.
