Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas are emitted when fossil fuels are burned. These absorb and emit radiation and are a cause of heating the Earth’s surface. Although producers and consumers alike know that these things are harmful to the atmosphere they continue to produce/consume them because that is what is in their best interest in the short term rather than thinking about the long term effects.

The climate change costs that current patterns of resources use are imposing on people all around the world, and on future generations, are clearly inequitable. ]]> 2021-05-06 13:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/BISHumanities/qzkhvehu5qen6h86/wish/1498006483 DIAGRAMS BISHumanities https://padlet.com/BISHumanities/qzkhvehu5qen6h86/wish/1498006485 2021-05-06 13:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/BISHumanities/qzkhvehu5qen6h86/wish/1498006485 DEFINITIONS BISHumanities https://padlet.com/BISHumanities/qzkhvehu5qen6h86/wish/1498006487 Common pool resource: Common pool resources are rivalrous but non-excludable
