I was a part of the China team. This was challenging because China produces\nthe largest amount of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. Even though this amount has\ndecreased, we were still the leaders of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions by a good\namount. It seemed almost impossible to make a change that could better help the\nworld\u2019s problem of global warming and climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Changes in emotion: <\/strong>My emotions did not change too much throughout\nthis activity. I remained pretty overwhelmed throughout and unsure how to help\nsolve this problem in an effective way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Changes in ideas &amp; what prompted this change: <\/strong>Considering China\nwas largely at fault for this problem, it was inevitable we would have to share\nfinances in order to gain deals. The money that we initially decided to give\nwent up 3 billion dollars and our peak year went down 10 years. This change in\nmoney was due to United States agreeing they would also give the same amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can emissions really be cut? <\/strong>Honestly, I do believe emissions can be\ncut; however, I do not believe there will be a time where there are no\nemissions. At the end of the day, we are not the real policy makers. Creating\nreal change would most likely require more money and take a lot more time to find\na deal all countries agree with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost barriers: <\/strong>There was one problem with cutting emissions for China:\nafforestation. In China, there are many places that it would be hard to do this\nbecause farmland is a necessity in China, and trees cannot be planted in those\nareas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Change in US: <\/strong>In order to catalyze change in the United States, we\nwould need to somehow reduce the CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. In order to do this,\ngovernmental change would need to be implemented. As one citizen, we could help\nby having more protests on climate change in the capital. Ultimately, the only\nway we can try to catalyze change is to spread the dangers of climate change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I played my role in the policy exercise, I started off very confused and taken aback at all the countries trying to create deals\/agreements so quickly.
