5.2.3 Explain the relationship between rises in concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide, methane and oxides of nitrogen and the enhanced greenhouse effect.
5.2.6 Outline the consequences of a global temperature rise on arctic ecosystems.
5.2.4 Outline the precautionary principle.
From the syllabus:
Aim 8: Consider whether the economic harm of measures taken now to limit global warming could be balanced against the potentially much greater harm for future generations of taking no action now. There are also ethical questions about whether the health and wealth of future human generations should be jeopardized, and whether it is right to knowingly damage the habitat of, and possibly drive to extinction, species other than humans.
The environmental angle here is that the issue of global warming is, by definition, a genuinely global one in terms of causes, consequences and remedies. Only through international cooperation will a solution be found. There is an inequality between those in the world who are contributing most to the problem and those who will be most harmed.
5.2.5 Evaluate the precautionary principle as a justification for strong action in response to the threats posed by the enhanced greenhouse effect.
