Assume that changes in temperature are something that people can impact. Maybe not today, but in 50 years. So – do we as a society TODAY have an ethical obligation (based on the perspective you chose) to do something to ensure that these resources are not impacted in 50 YEARS? Make sure you provide reasoning for HOW temperature change will impact EACH resource and explain your reasoning for your ethical view. You should also think about what will happen if temperature increases AND if temperature decreases.
a. Water resources: sources of water that are useful or potentially useful (for home use, agriculture, industry, energy, etc.)
