Radio stations, tornado sirens, light houses, and street lights are all public goods in that all are nonrivalrous and nonexclusionary. Therefore why does the government provide tornado sirens, street lights and light houses but not radio stations (other than PBS stations)?

Case: Despite 2015 Paris agreement, global carbon emissions increased 1.7 percent in 2017 and a further 2.7 percent in 2018; it has been estimated that the rate of increase in 2019 will be among the highest on record. The last four years have been the hottest on record, with 2019 on track to make it five. But analyses suggest that fast action now can reduce carbon emissions within 12 years and hold global increases below 2 degrees C and perhaps 1.5. Even though carbon emissions in The Gambia, Morocco and India are expected to rise, they’ll fall short of exceeding the 1.5-degree Celsius limit. But some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and United States, are not trying hard enough. a. Explain the inefficiency in this case! Use graphics b. Why can't this problem be solved through market mechanisms as in private goods? c. Give possible public (global) solutions and private (global) solutions to this and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each.

How do you think the situation will look like in a future (say 2050) more sustainable world? ( 1 to 2 Paragraphs)2. List three examples of energy production and use practices that you think are unsustainable. Also explain why they are unsustainable and how we might make each of them more sustainable.

Two important industries on the island of Bermuda are fishing and tourism.According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nationsand the Bermuda Department of Statistics, in 2009 the 306 registered fishermen inBermuda caught 387 metric tons of marine fish. And the 2,719 people employed byhotels produced 554,400 hotel stays (measured by the number of visitor arrivals).Suppose that this production point is efficient in production. Assume also that theopportunity cost of 1 additional metric ton of fish is 2,000 hotel stays and that thisopportunity cost is constant (the opportunity cost does not change).a. If all 306 registered fishermen were to be employed by hotels (in addition to the2,719 people already working in hotels), how many hotel stays could Bermudaproduce?

We are all aware that there are many natural resources, fossil fuels like coal, crude petroleum, mineral resources etc, which are essential inputs in modern manufacturing / production processes, and are available in limited stock (i.e., are exhaustible). In this discussion please discuss the role of technology in efficient utilization of these exhaustible resources which you might have come across in your own work experience. You could also discuss instances of firms taking steps to adopt renewable natural resources to cut down their reliance on exhaustible resources. 350 words and use refernces
Imagine a scenic canyon, visited by many local people as well as tourists from beyondthe local area. Consider a scenario in which a mining company has proposed to the localauthority that it be closed to the public and put into the production of coal. Thinking interms of economics as a way of adjudicating the relative value of one use of the canyon overthe other, what would you need to know in order to make a comparison or assessment?What kinds of quantitative data would inform your decision, and where might they comefrom? What kinds of things might you need to know that are hard to measure? Once youhave listed the kinds of information and data that might be available to inform this decision, do you think it would be sufficient to making this decision, why or why not?
A nation’s population size and the affluence of its citizenseach influence its resource consumption and environmentalimpact. As of 2013, the world’s population passed 7.1 billion,average per capita income was $11,690 per year, and the latest estimate for the world’s average ecological footprint was2.7 hectares (ha) per person. The sampling of data in the tablewill allow you to explore patterns in how population, affluence,and environmental impact are related. Calculate the total impact (national ecological footprint)for each country.
