The previous blog entries posted by students were written in response to reflection questions about climate change. In many places during the trip, we have touched on the theme of climate change and how it is affecting different communities. In Davis, California, we heard from a community member who talked about how the local fruit trees have been affected by the warmer winters. In Glacier National Park, Ranger Rick told us about the extent of melting of glaciers throughout the park. The student essays you will find under the climate section of the blog discuss the various dimensions of this issue. Individually, the students wrote essays about their individual responsibility regarding climate change. In groups the students tackled the following questions:
1.Why do you think there are such divergent beliefs as to the reality of climate change?
2. Why do you think you would need to do/know to resolve this dilemma and figure out who is right about climate change?
3. What is the potential cost if humanity does not do anything significant about is CO2 emissions? What is the potential cost if humanity takes large steps in the near future to combat climate change?
4. What is the responsibility of churches to help combat climate change? Why?
5. What is the responsibility of the government to combating climate change?
6. What is the responsibility of businesses to combat climate change
