A) Compare Ulrich Becks concept of the Risk Society to Elizabeth Rushs discussion of risk on pp. 149-156 of the book Rising. To what extent are they talking about the same thing? How are these notions of risk different from each other? How does Rushs concept of risk apply to peoples experiences with climate change/disruption? (4 points)
B) On pages 53-54 of the book Rising, Elizabeth Rush presents a particular way of thinking about the history of the world. How do you interpret this framing for thinking about our climate, both past and future? In other words, what does this framing mean to you and how does it affect your thinking about environmental and climate protection?

C) Discuss at least 1 example of climate injustice or climate justice from the course materials in Week 5 (readings, films). If you are focusing on an example climate injustice, then what are the causes and consequences of that injustice and what might be a solution? If you are focusing on an example of climate justice, then offer an assessment or critique of those ideas and/or actions (in other words, how effective or inspiring are they and why?). (4 points)
