1. Global Warming/”Causes” as problem-defining Framing—What does it mean? –How is it pertinent to Stone’s “problems?” (Environmentalist) “dooms-dayers” vs. “cornucopians:” How does each try to use science? Is there a “cause-effect” question that is central to global warming? If so, what is it? How (if at all) is Stone’s Table 8.1 applicable to understanding the environmentalist answer to that question (above)? The cornucopian answer?

2. “Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it were real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway…” -do you agree?

3. Relevance of Stone’s Complex Systems (pp. 194-197) Technological systems Institutional systems Historical systems Are any of these pertinent to the global warming debate? If so, how? Do complex systems clarify or complicate issue debate. Are they “politically useful?”
