This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: HW4g, Devoping nations can curb emissions. therefore (modus ponens) It is possible to preserve development and priorities while curbing climate change., If a fair framework offers a transparent and defensibly fair method for allocating costs, then GDRs must be a fair framework. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) GDRs will be a fair framework., Wealthy nations may try to cheat and keep exact contributions secret. Objection If wealthy nations should supply a bulk of the cost of a global emissions plan, then devoping nations can curb emissions., GDRs will be a fair framework. Objection Wealthy nations may try to cheat and keep exact contributions secret., Some developing nations have the power to enforce climate change. Objection If devoping nations are struggling against poverty ,then developing countries are unable to enforce climate change., If higher amounts of carbon in the atmosphere will result in the increase in global temperature up to 2 degrees C and ice melts when temperatures rise, then a rise in temperature of 2 degrees C would cause the melting of sea ice cover. therefore (modus ponens) A rise in temperatures of 2 degrees C would cause the melting of sea ice cover., Only the individuals and countries with enough money to pay for the reduction in polution will be able to actually reduce polution. therefore (modus ponens) It is not necessary to make the distinction between richer and poorer high-emitting countries and richer and poorer low-emitting countries., Allocating costs based on the principles of responsibilty and capacity will incorporate an individual 'development threshold'. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) GDRs are based on the 'Responsibilty (R) and Capacity (C) Indicator' (RCI) formula. RCI = (R^a)*(C^b), where a + b =1., If a formula could exist that would successfully account for the preservation of development and priorities while curbing emissions, then the GDRs are a good solution to the problem for the assignment of obligations to pay for mitigation of green house emissions. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) GDRs is a good solution to the problem for the assignment of obligations to pay for mitigation of green house emissions., Ice melts when temperatures rise. therefore (modus ponens) A rise in temperatures of 2 degrees C would cause the melting of sea ice cover., Sea levels would rise very quickly. therefore (modus ponens) Many animals and people live very close to the sea level and would be threatened., If devoping nations are struggling against poverty ,then developing countries are unable to enforce climate change. therefore (modus ponens) Developing countries are unable to enforce climate change., Those able to bear the burden of climate change do so. therefore (modus ponens) It is possible to preserve development and priorities while curbing climate change., Some developing nations have the power to enforce climate change. Objection If devoping nations are struggling against poverty ,then developing countries are unable to enforce climate change., It is not necessary to make the distinction between richer and poorer high-emitting countries and richer and poorer low-emitting countries. Objection If the system makes no distinction as to capacity between richer and poorer high-emitting countries and richer and poorer low-emitting countries, then Contraction and Convergence (C and C) theory is not a good solution to the problem for the assignment of obligations to pay for mitigation of green house emissions., The RCI formula is an arbitrary and inequitable method of calculating a country's responsibility and capacity. objects If GDRs are based on the 'Responsibilty (R) and Capacity (C) Indicator' (RCI) formula: RCI = (R^a)*(C^b), where a + b =1, then GDRs take into account the distribution of income and emissions between countries and lightens the burden on poorer countries and people., China is strong enough to enforce climate change policy among its citizens. therefore (modus ponens) Some developing nations have the power to enforce climate change., GDRs are based on the 'Responsibilty (R) and Capacity (C) Indicator' (RCI) formula. RCI = (R^a)*(C^b), where a + b =1. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) GDRs take into account the distribution of income and emissions between countries and lightens the burden on poorer countries and people. using principles of responsibility and capacity., If wealthy nations should supply a bulk of the cost of a global emissions plan, then devoping nations can curb emissions. therefore (modus ponens) Devoping nations can curb emissions., If wealthy nations are able to curb emissions, then it is possible to preserve development and priorities while curbing climate change. therefore (modus ponens) It is possible to preserve development and priorities while curbing climate change.
