Paper topic: The Chinese Sledgehammer
Paper length: 3-4 Pages.
Assignment: China is currently expanding their energy use and material infrastructure at an incredible rate. The TWO parts of this assignment are:
- Research various aspects of China's current rate of growth to come up with an assessment of where they will be if this rate is held until the year 2025. Include things like total
greenhouse gas emissions, coal production, electricity use,
transportation fuel, goods manufactured (note you don't have to include all of these but the point is to try and come up with reasonable estimates of China's overall resource utilization).
- Craft a short policy statement on what you think the world should do about this situation.
