Global warming from 3 different perspectives

There were three presentations of different perspective revolving around the global warming being delivered during the lecture. The first presentation of Dr. Andrew suggests that there are few different groups of people, where as some may like to keep the present condition, some may like to retrogress and some may like to ameliorate the crisis. In response to the climate change, mitigation is essential to curb to stabilize the situation as Carbon Storage System could be utilize to store greenhouse gases into a safer place like seabed of depth more than 2750m, or the underground cavern through rigs. Politics is also a concern where politicians tend to focus on short-term plan rather than long-term solution. However, renewable energy would be a great step forward in this context.
Prof Benjamin K. Sovacool suggests that Science & Technology System must be applied to address energy and technological problems. There are 4 kinds of determinism under this approach, which are structural determinism, autonomous determinism, consequential determinism, and also normative determinism. A technological problem will never be simply a technological problem per se; it is entangled with the cause of psychology, politics, culture and also economics. In order to outrun the effect of the appendages, STS helps to vest the subject, identify the factors, re-politicize the technical discourse, foster relationship between mankind and technology, and avert failure in feasibility.
Prof Rajasekbar Bala, as the third presenter of the day, posits that the main factors of global warming, to be precise, of the upsurge of greenhouse gases would be the increasing global population, indiscriminate use of oil and gas, and the enormous demand of petrol of the industry. He also discusses the adverse effects of global warming, as it will cause prolonged droughts, storms, pandemic disease, economic and social disruption. An example quoted from Prof Rajasekbar: one place might suffer from the ordeal of drought while one place is suffering from the rising sea level. Various solutions are suggested, including government tax imposition. Generally, the solutions are in parallel with the idea of reducing greenhouse gases and attenuating the detrimental effects of global warming.
Conclusively, I particularly found the axioms of Prof Benjamin interesting as he explicates the subtle relationship between technology and the society. I am much bewildered that the first car ever was an electrically powered car instead of the modern petrol-fueled car. I wonder how the present world would be if the electric car was popularized. It might free from the peril of global warming, perhaps.
