earth Science 1. Support or criticize the use of beneft–cost analysis as a means of economic planning and as a means of preventing environmental degradation. Do you agree more with Costanza (1997b), Pearce (1998), or Sargof (1997)? Do you feel that species have intrinsic rights to exist? Can such existence values be incorporated into environmental policy? 2. Do you believe that citizens of tropical countries have the right to deforest the most biologically diverse communities on Earth? Compare and contrast the economic and environmental issues of tropical deforestation with deforestation that occurred in the US and Europe over the last several hundreds of years. 3. John Terborgh, tropical ecologist at Duke University, asserts that in order to save tropical forests, citizens of industrial nations are going to have to pay developing countries. Do you agree? What are some ways that this might be done?
