- 2.Classify each as mitigation or adaptation: a building code requiring higher structures in flood-prone areas; a national program funding electric vehicle charging stations.
- 3.Explain the mechanical difference between a carbon tax and cap-and-trade without endorsing either.
- 4.Write one neutral paragraph presenting the strongest case FOR moving quickly on emissions cuts, using "supporters argue" language rather than stating it as your own opinion.
- 5.Write one neutral paragraph presenting the strongest case FOR a slower or different pace, using "critics argue" or "others argue" language rather than stating it as your own opinion.
