Climate Change

Write an essay about a philosophical question of your choice related to material from Module 3.

How will I do that?

Review the assigned reading from Module 3. From those materials, formulate a conceptual research question and write an essay that answers the question.

Note: Students who have difficulty developing a conceptual question may write about the following prompt; students who write in response to the suggested prompt will not receive credit for the "Thesis" portion of this essay's grade.

If all nations on Earth were to accept emissions restrictions as a means of mitigating climate change then it would almost certainly follow that the economic and infrastructure development of third-world nations would suffer as a result. Is it fair that third-world development should suffer or lag as a result of climate change mitigation efforts? Fair or unfair, would third-world nations be justified in refusing to accept such restrictions? Why or why not?
