At any point in time, a number of environmental objectives must be met with a limited amount of economic resources. This means that once an environmental problem is identified, they have to be prioritized. In general, this is done using scientific valuation of the relative risk to human health and the ecology of a given environmental hazard - a procedure known as: A. Biodiversity B. Public Goods C. Risk Assessment D. Profit maximization
What are some of the major driving forces behind both the risks of climate change and our vulnerabilities to that change? Which scientific experts would be best able to assemble a comprehensive assessment of climate change risks? What type of policymakers should be involved, and at what levels (local, regional, national and international)?

Climate change has been called the major environmental health challenge of the twenty-first century. Do you agree or disagree? Explain (in detail) your reasoning.
What are the advocacies that you can do to or personal initiative to help in the mitigation of anthropogenic causes of climate change? (Give at least 3, and explain in sentences or paragraph).
Determine if each statement is correct or incorrect: 1. Ecosystems with fewer numbers of species tend to be less stable. 2. Increasing numbers of species lead to more redundancy which is bad for the ecosystem. 3. More species mean more niche separation. 4. Species with a low resistance will also have low resilience. 5. Disturbances to ecosystems can be both naturally occurring and human caused. 6. Stresses to ecosystems are useful for removing weaker species and ensuring the strongest survive. 7. Bringing non-native species into an area to increase biodiversity makes the ecosystem more stable.

1 “The Nature of Ecology” Biological scientists often study/research adaptations that have evolved within particular species. That is, they focus upon the biological aspects alone. Think critically about what ecology means and describe within a few paragraphs how ecologists approach the study of living organisms. As part of your answer, include a realistic and detailed example of a study by an ecologist.
