Answer the following questions as thoroughly as possible, referring to your course materials and outside sources as needed. (You are expected to do research to support your to answers. Be sure to cite any sources correctly and completely.) Your answer to each numbered question should be between 250 and 500 words

1) React to the following statement, either in support or against the statement. In your response, refute the opposing position, using properly cited resources based on independent research. Make an argument for or against each of the following statements:
-We should not be overly concerned about exposure to toxic chemicals, because almost any chemical in a large enough dose can cause some harm.
-We should not worry much about exposure to toxic chemicals, because, through genetic adaptation, we can develop immunity to such chemicals.
-We should not worry much about exposure to toxic chemicals because we can use genetic engineering to reduce our susceptibility to the effects of toxic chemicals

2) respond to each statement in light of the issues covered in this module (environmental hazards, air pollution, climate change, and urbanization). In your answer, agree or disagree with the statement while refuting the opposing position.
-A sustainable world will be powered by the sun; constructed from materials that circulate repeatedly, made mobile by trains, buses, and bicycles; populated at sustainable levels; and centered around just, equitable and tight-knit communities. (Gary Gardner)
-The city is not an ecological monstrosity. It is rather the place where both the problems and the opportunities of modern technological civilization are most potent and visible. (Peter Self)

3) Consider the following two events, and respond to all questions:
Critique the statement described as follows. In your response, explain the flaws in the adviser’s rationale using credible facts and supported research.
– In preparation for the 1992 UN Conference on the Human Environment in Rio de Janeiro, President George H. W. Bush’s top economic adviser gave a speech in Williamsburg, Virginia, to representatives of governments from a number of countries. He told his audience not to worry about atmospheric warming because the average global temperature increases predicted by scientists were much less than the temperature increase he had experienced that day in traveling from Washington, D.C. to Williamsburg.
– In March of 2015, the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting reported that government agencies throughout Florida (including the Department of Environmental Protection) had been told since 2012 not to use the terms climate change and global warming in official communications. At the time, Florida’s governor was Rick Scott, a conservative and an outspoken skeptic about climate change. What do you believe was the point of this directive?
