Analyze alternative “framings” of the global warming issue: 1. Reduce human-made CO 2 omission 2. Reduce environmental vulnerability * How are various goals interpreted in each? *What (if any) goal trade-offs are implicit in either? *How (if at all) do goal interpretations, trade-offs change from Frame 1 to Frame 2?

[need to focus on the ideology of “market efficiency” as a framing strategy]—resulting in questions like: Can you find evidence of this market efficiency ideology in how the global warming issue is framed? Do market efficiency values clarify or obscure the issue of environmental vulnerability? Do market efficiency values clarify or obscure questions about who is accountable for policy problems?...any evidence in the global warming reading? Compare Stone’s treatment of “market efficiency” as a (politically potent) framing strategy with (most) economists’ rational viewpoints about the role of the market in society.
