One useful source of ideas for addressing climate change is Global Green Shift, by John Mathews (2017). In Chapter 1 of this book, Mathews elaborates the green shift idea by discussing ecomodernization strategies, stating that these strategies are leading to “the greatest transformation of our global industrial system [ever]” (p. 18). According to Mathews, what is ecomodernization? How does his concept compare with that advanced by Shellenberger and Nordhaus in their Ecomodernist Manifesto [see Nijhuis (2015), The New Yorker]? Which of the following technical systems best illustrates the ecomodernist thesis: Asian Super Grid; Cisco Systems’ Telepresence; or Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay? Why? Briefly describe the system you chose and explain why it is a good illustration of ecomodernism (6 Points).
