Let’s Begin…
What exactly is the carbon cycle? Nathaniel Manning provides a basic look into the cyclical relationship of carbon, humans and the environment.
Do you think that having to limit emissions would hamper the ability to increase the living standards of people? Why is affluence not an acceptable variable to reduce impact? Is it fair that developed nations have historically created lots of CO2 while becoming wealthy, but now developing nations cannot do the same without exacerbating climate change and putting everyone at risk? What is a fair way for developing nations to grow and continue to move out of poverty but also keep carbon emissions from growing globally and causing climate change?
