Problem 1: Explain the relationship between individual attitudes and environmental problems from a social scientific perspective.
Problem 2: Explain how informal features of the political process shape what environmental policies are implemented and how.
Problem 3: What considerations does the public opinion data indicate a national figure like the president should place the greatest emphasis on? What positions on environmental issues do you think would best guarantee you get elected? How much would you allow economics to determine your position and why? Are there any issues you would warn the candidate about or that you think the public claims to support more than they really do?
