CO2 Can Directly Impact Extreme Weather, Research SuggestsChelsea Harvey1. Global efforts to tackle climate change rest on a common goal: to keep the planet’s temperatures fromrising beyond dangerous thresholds. But what if the gases that come from cars and power plants are harmingthe planet themselves, even without the warming they cause?2. Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere may have direct effects on the climate system. In otherwords, even if global temperatures stay locked in at a certain point, higher CO2 concentrations couldcontinue to affect the planet. As a result, some experts are calling for putting a certain limit on carbondioxide emissions, in addition to the global temperature targets of 2 degrees Celsius outlined in the Parisclimate accord. According to a study published by Nature Climate Change, rising CO2 levels may cause anincrease in extreme weather and climate events, regardless of what happens with average global.temperatures (Baker et al., 2018).3. In a study, the researchers investigated what would happen to the climate system under a range ofpossible carbon dioxide levels, assuming the average global temperature remained steady. They chose the1.5-degree target-the world’s most ambitious goal-as a reference point. The scientists ran a series ofmodel simulations using a range of CO2 concentrations consistent with 1.5 degrees of warming. The effect onextreme climate events was striking. Even though average global temperatures stayed the same, higher CO2concentrations caused a significant increase in extreme heat and precipitation events in certain regionsaround the world. Scientists have found that even if the average global temperature remains more or lessconstant, it causes changes in circulation, changes in wind patterns, which are the drivers of the extremeweather conditions.4. Previous studies also suggested that carbon emissions may directly affect the climate beyond just raisingaverage global temperatures. Scientists found that carbon dioxide levels alter precipitation and atmosphericcirculation patterns independently of average warming (Bony et al., 2013). In addition, it is not just theweather affected by carbon dioxide levels. In fact, one of the biggest concerns about rising CO2 is itscontribution to ocean acidification, which is harmful to marine ecosystems.REEVALUATING GLOBAL GOALS5. The 1.5- and 2-degree temperature targets are currently the centerpiece of international climatemitigation efforts-the ultimate goal that world leaders are striving to meet under the Paris climateagreement. However, these targets may not encompass all the risks associated with climate change andwhat’s more, they may not be promoting the level of global climate action originally hoped for. Atemperature target is only useful if policymakers know how to achieve it. As a result, numerous studies inthe last decade have attempted to determine the amount of carbon the world can emit without exceedingcertain temperatures. This value would inform policymakers about how quickly they need to reducegreenhouse gas emissions in the coming years. Therefore, the issue should be tackled in different ways.

What are critical challenges that organizations (be they for-profit, nonprofit or public sector) have to understand and deal with in these difficult economic times and complex global work environment?

ONE DISCUSSION REPLY – AT LEAST 250 WORDS

Is ‘leadership’ just a vague term?

Recall national and world events from the past few years. Think about what is occurring in your workplace. Explore what is being discussed in the newspaper, nightly on TV, or in the various Internet forums.

As you reflect…

1.  What are critical challenges that organizations (be they for-profit, nonprofit or public sector) have to understand and deal with in these difficult economic times and complex global work environment?

2. What are the challenges that leaders face daily (managing staff, competition, technology, etc)?

3. What are the causes of these challenges? Dig deep – why is competition a challenge? Competition in         and of itself is not a challenge unless it digs into market share or ability to retain good employees.

Think to your past, your present, or look into the future…

4. What are critical leadership qualities and skills needed by organizational leaders to, not only be successful in operating their organization and ensure its growth,  but to engage their workforce members, collaborate with organizational and community partners, and serve society-at-large?

Next, dialogue with your cohort members about your reflections on the above leadership and professional integrity questions. Provide rationale and examples to support your thoughts and insights. In other words, if you see a post that prompts you to agree, dive in and explore your basis for agreement. If you see things from a different perspective, do the same. Jump into the conversation, and feel free to agree to disagree, just justify your stance and position – if we keep it diplomatic, we don’t have to agree, all of the time!

    Explain the benefit of emphasizing the background and needs of your audience during a presentation.

/in /by

Part 1. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Think about giving a presentation.

·         Explain the benefit of emphasizing the background and needs of your audience during a presentation.

·         Determine how to strike the most appropriate balance between documentation and visuals within a presentation.

Part 2. Respond to the following post with a minimum of 100 words:

“When preparing a business presentation usually the topic of conversation can hint to what kind of audience you will be speaking too, but it is always best to prepare for the anomalies. By understanding the majority of your audiences background and needs you can properly give out information during the presentation. By having a powerful positioning statement you will gain the attention of your audience and by relating to them and their needs you build a sense of rapport. Also the more that you practice your speech out loud the better you become familiar with your notes and have a sense of authority because you are comfortable with what you are speaking about, this will also point out where spots in your presentation needs rework.

Typically when you are speaking you want to have approximately one slide per two minutes of presentation, this way you can have bold statements on the slide but still have your audiences attention on yourself. By crowding your slides will mass information it tends to draw away the attention from yourself and to the slide. Their needs to be a balance, the use of bullet points can be quite effective because it will give the audience a quick understanding of what you will discuss.” -Olga N.

Part 3. Reply to the following discussion in a minimum of 100 words:

“Knowing you’re audience is vital to a presentation, but knowing their background can be just as important-if not more. Emphasizing someone’s background can empathize with their personal life, history, or professional career. A speaker that does a little history of a few individuals or most, in the audience, can have a better chance of influencing them, in my opinion. Especially if the presentation is a persuasive one. I have personally attended presentations that were specific to personal situations in my life, and now I think back and wonder if the speaker did background research on some of us.

An example of this is, an audience of high school teenagers can be an easy background research. Most teens have common interests and can relate to one another, so social media trends are easy to stumble upon and be up to date with these applications. But, an audience of international corporate executives can have a variety of ethnicities, social practices, and specific lifestyles. A few words about some of their culture, respectfully, can spark a quick interest and the speaker some credibility.” -Charlie P.

  1. The concept of program music endows instrumental music with communicative potential. Compare two very different, yet thoroughly programmatic pieces: Hensel’s “September”from Das Jahr with Berlioz’s “Dream of a witches’ Sabbath” from Symphonie fantastique. For each piece what is the program? What extra-musical media are used to deliver this message? How does the music participate in this process? How does Hensel’s character piece speak to her cultural circumstances? How does Berlioz’s symphony speak to his?
  2. During the Romantic era, a composer’s biography provides a way to understand a composer’s music. Explore this phenomenon with the example of Mendlessohn’s Song without Words. What were his biographical characteristics? How can the music be heard as reflective of this image? How and why was this biography-music interpretation utilized in Victorian England? Do a similar exploration of Chopin’s biography andMazurka in the context of Paris.
  3. The concept of program music endows instrumental music with communicative potential. Compare two very different, yet thoroughly programmatic pieces: Hensel’s “September”from Das Jahr with Berlioz’s “Dream of a witches’ Sabbath” from Symphonie fantastique. For each piece what is the program? What extra-musical media are used to deliver this message? How does the music participate in this process? How does Hensel’s character piece speak to her cultural circumstances? How does Berlioz’s symphony speak to his?
  4. Pierre Boulez summed up the Post-WWI, modernist position when he stated that “All art of the past must be destroyed.” Please choose two (2) of the following composers: Weill, Shostakovich, Copland, Norman; select a composition by each and describe the ways in which their music demonstrates a particular way of dealing with the iconoclasm of modernism. What is their position towards Romantic sounds and techniques? Towards modern sounds and techniques? How are these specifically expressed in the music we have studied in class? What cultural forces were at work to influence these decisions?
  5. Opera undergoes an important shift from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Compare specific excerpts from Bizet’s Carmen or with another specific excerpt from either Weill’s Lindbergh’s Flight or The Threepenny Opera. What are the musical priorities of each example? What do each tell us about the pieces’ social contexts and cultural priorities?
