The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans, plants, animals, and soil is known as _______. a. the carbon cycle b. photosynthesis c. the greenhouse effect True/False 6. Global warming is the term used to describe all forms of long-term climate inconsistencies. a. true b. false 7. The Keeling curve shows an overall increasing trend in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. a. true b. false 8. The Kyoto Protocol sets mandatory, legally-binding emission reduction targets for all parties subject to it. a. true b. false 9. The greenhouse effect is a natural process. a. true b. false 10. A developing country is likely to emit more carbon dioxide per capita than a developed country. a. true b. false Identification Key terms: cap and trade, capital accumulation, carbon cycle, carbon sequestration, Coase theorem, collective action, command-and-control, emissions trading, greenhouse effect, greenwashing, photosynthesis, surplus value, uneven development People: Charles David Keeling Concepts: proxy methods, the Kyoto Protocol Short essay What is the greenhouse effect and how is it related to current global temperature trends? What role do humans play in the greenhouse effect? In your answer, you should: 1) define the “greenhouse effect” and explain what it means, 2) discuss the relationship between the greenhouse effect and current rates of warming, and 3) analyze the role of anthropogenic activities in the greenhouse effect and rates of warming. What is the Kyoto Protocol and how did it come about? What are the major points of contention surrounding the Kyoto Protocol and who takes which side in this debate? You should: 1) explain what the Kyoto Protocol is and how it came about, 2) discuss the major policy options that form the Kyoto Protocol, and 3) analyze which parties stand to gain or lose from participating in this international treaty by highlighting the points of contention surrounding it. Are market-based solutions the best way to mitigate the impacts of climate change? Why or why not? Taking either a market environmentalist or a political economy approach, you should 1) describe in detail at least two market-based solutions, 2) argue a clear position, drawing on key terms from the theory, and 3) support your argument with evidence.
