International Politics of Climate Change Mock exam True or False - 5 pts • The Tragedy of the Commons can serve as a model for international cooperation against climate change. • There’s a wide consensus that the discount rate to be used when dealing with irreversible costs should be lower than usual. • Public opinions in the US and the EU differ considerably on the issue of climate change • Most of the population displacements that could be induced by climate change are likely to be South-North migration flows. • If one only considers its impact on global warming, methane is more harmful than carbon dioxyde. Multiple choices - 6 (check all items that apply) • Amongst these scientists, which one(s) didn’t establish a milestone in our knowledge of climate change? – – – – Hansen Wellings Tyndall Arrhenius • Which GHGs are not included in the Kyoto Protocol? – – – – GHGs emitted by the aviation sector GHGs emitted by China GHGs emitted by the oceans GHGs emitted by cattle and livestock pts • What were some similarities between the Montreal and the Kyoto Protocols? – – – – Both were based on the ‘polluter pays’ principle Both were dealing with a global public bad Both were reinforced between their signature and their implementation Both were lacking incentives for unilateral action Comment on this graph - 5 pts Analyse this speech - 5 pts I believe the environmental movement is switching over from being powered by guilt to being powered by something much more positive, something much more dynamic, something much more capable of bringing about revolutionary change. Its image is also changing from one of hand-wringing and whining to one that is hip, an image that is cutting edge, forceful and self-confident and even sexy. And a big boost is coming, of course, after the election, no matter whether it's McCain, Obama, or Clinton. But this is something we're going to talk about a little bit later. (...) So you can see the shift is happening. And the shift is not only happening here in America; we see it all over the world. I saw the other day that a leading German consulting firm predicted that by the end of the next decade more people will be employed in Germany's green, clean technology industry than in the auto industry. So as you can see, this is not a fairytale. We have had the industrial revolution, the technological revolution, the global revolution and next is the environmental revolution. Now, I see -- (applause). Now, I see some people looking at me funny and saying, what happened to the sexual revolution? Well, we're going to talk about that the next time I come here, I promise you. Bonus point: Who gave this speech? Comment on this press release - 4 pts Comment on this UN Resolution - 4 pts Bonus point: Where and when was this resolution adopted? Short essay - 6 pts « Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future » Niels Bohr, Danish physicist (1885-1962) Discuss with regard to predictions about future climate change and its expected consequences.
