This discussion will cover a topic raised in today's "Focus the Nation" sessions.

  • How should we respond to the threat of global warming? (We = humanity, and also we = the people in this class) Remember that we have limited money to spend! So where should we put the bulk of our money - into climate change prevention, or into preparing for the inevitable change. Should we hunker down for the hot weather, and buy a holiday home on high ground near Hudson Bay? Or should we spend our money trying to curb greenhouse gas emissions in order to make the change more controllable?
