Which of the following statements about global warming, according to Lomborg, is true? The increase in global temperature will cost the world $14.5 trillion by 2100, but following Kyoto Protocols will cost $15.8 trillion. The increase in global temperature will cost the world $15.8 trillion, but following Kyoto Protocols will cost $14.5 trillion. Reducing carbon emissions is the least expensive way to curb global warming. Following the Kyoto Protocols solves the temperature warming problem most economically.

Suppose that, in the absence of mitigation, global warming will be plus 1 degree Celsius over the next 50 years. The developed economies and the emerging economies agree on this prediction. They agree that reducing global warming over the next 50 years is a global public good. They agree the marginal cost of reducing global warming is MC = 4 + 10Q trillion U.S. dollars, where Q is the number of degrees Celsius reduction in global warming. The developed economies’ marginal benefit is MBdv = 20 – 15Q trillion U.S. dollars. The emerging economies marginal benefit is MBem = 8 - 5Q trillion U.S. dollars. What is the socially optimal reduction in global warming? Explain.
What was the response of the U.S. government to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020? What programs did the government implement?
What do economists call the costs of climate change imposed on the rest of the world by the production of a product? tragedy of the commons an externality a carbon tax a market failure
In an attempt to bring equity to the climate change agreement, the Framework Convention on Climate Change incorporated the concept of common but differentiated responsibilities, which suggested what? Select all that apply: a. developing countries may need to hinder their growth in order to meet emission reduction goals b. responsibility for reducing emissions should be placed on large corporations rather than countries c. all countries should be responsible for the same percentage of emission reductions d. the richest countries of the world should cut emissions prior to developing countries e. countries that have contributed more to overall emissions should be responsible for more reductions
Both Wisconsin and Michigan border Lake Michigan. The lake is becoming polluted and both states are deciding whether or not to clean it. If Wisconsin decides to clean the lake it will cost 1200 and generate social benefits of 1500 – however, Wisconsin will receive only 1100 of those social benefits while Michigan will receive the other 400. If Michigan cleans the lake, it will cost them 700 and generate social benefits of 900 – however, Michigan will receive only 600 of those benefits while Wisconsin will receive the remaining 300. If a state does not clean the lake, it experiences a cost of $0. If Wisconsin does not clean the lake and Michigan does then the payoffs will be Question 9 options: A) Wisconsin gains 200, Michigan gains 100 B) Wisconsin gains 300, Michigan loses 100 C) Wisconsin gains 300, Michigan gains 100 D) Wisconsin gains 200, Michigan loses 100
If we are to take action against global warming we must reduce carbon emissions
SCENARIO 1.2: A scientist wants to understand the relationship between automobile emissions and the level of global warming. The scientist collects data on the volume of automobile emissions and the levels of global warming over time. The scientist concludes that a 1% increase in automobile emissions causes a 0.0003% increase in average global temperatures. From this information he concludes that the automobile emissions are harmful to the environment and should be reduced to stop the increase in global temperatures. Refer to Scenario 1.2. The statement, "automobile emissions are harmful to the environment and should be reduced to stop the increase in global temperatures," is an example of normative economics. positive economics. the fallacy of logic. marginal economics.

Presently, there is a major conference in Glasgow Scotland regarding climate change, neither the first nor the last attempt at this. Reactions range from hopeful optimism to downright cynicism. To be sure climate change is a global issue. There are many causes, from the results of economic activity to natural forces in the earth's core we can do little about. How do you feel about the drive to control climate change. What have you done to "go green", or are you one of the skeptics?
Typically this kind of economic activity results in environmental harm through production and consumption externalities. When a country such as Econ Land manages to break the link between economic activity and environmental harm, it is known as ["decoupling", "uncoupling"] . Whether Econ Land has truly broken this link or not depends on the amount of ["export pollution", "import pollution"] they are responsible for, pollution in other countries resulting from the production of products consumed in the country of Econ Land.
As an Economist, tell us briefly how you think the COVID 19 pandemic has also affected the economy of your country?
One million plastic bottles being sold every minute is a pretty stark number showing why this is a problem, particularly when you add it to the fact that less than half are collected for recycling. Plastic has many desirable properties making it a ubiquitous material. Plastics create millions of products and on top of that millions of jobs. The plastic industry is a huge part of the world economy yet its efficiency and negative externalities are often overlooked. You are a student of economics and you were recentlyasked to make a virtual presentation at a conference based on the article ‘Drink Bottles’. REQUIED: 1. ‘Drink Bottles’ presents a case of market failure. Explain what is meant by market failure. Be sure to outline the sources of market failure.
