17 Aug Will climate change even be a factor in the 2022 midterm congressional elections?
I’m working on a sociology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
1. Will climate change even be a factor in the 2022 midterm congressional elections? Please choose a Republican and Democratic candidate in any congressional race, and examine their websites/social media for climate change information. What did you find?
2. How Much are Our Grandchildren Worth? That question is metaphorical.The real questions are: To what extent should we value the present over the future. How much should we be willing to sacrifice now to reduce the future impacts of climate change? And also: who should be the ones who sacrifice now? In thinking about these questions, it would be helpful to have a bit of knowledge about the social discount rate, so read this. (Links to an external site.) In answering this question, also consider this: If you were given $1B to help improve the world, and you had to spend all the money in the next year, would the world be better if you spent it to relieve famine and illness today, or to address climate change?
