unsustainable rate because of a rise in the release of CO2 and methane gases. Please complete the following questions (in accordance with Weekly Discussion Guide–(see Course Info section).

1) What is the relationship between population increases and climate change? 2) Discuss possible benefits and/or negative consequences of intentional governmental control of an individual or couple’s decision to have children.

2) From the LIst of Developing Countries (See Course Info), or copy and paste this link into your internet browswer (https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/policy/wesp/wesp_current/2014wesp_country_classification.pdf) select two developing countries (that might interest you for the Week 4 Assignment). Post the names of those two countries of the countries you have selected.

3) OPINION QUESTION: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ANSWERING!

Overpopulation is indeed a major issue in many developing countries, and yes it is well documented that over-population affects more than climate change–there are many long term consequences when there are more people than a nation can sustain (Hite, 2016). We also understand that population control beliefs can differ among individuals in terms cultural, religious, and other social beliefs in deciding whether or not to have children–in this respect it becomes personal.

With these thoughts in mind, should the decision to have or not have children rest solely with an individual/ couple rather than local or state or national governments?

NOTE! We are not speaking about pregnancy termination rights, teen pregnancies or anything along those lines, therefore do not address these issues in your answer. Please keep your responses G-rated and also keep in mind there is no wrong or right answer, these are just your thoughts. Oh…and please be RESPECTFUL of the answers of others. Basically, this is a YES or NO answer, however you may add an explanation.

discusion 2
he Law of Demand

The “Law of Demand” says that output increases when price falls, all else equal. That is, demand curves slope downward. But sometimes we see the price of a good rise when output increases. For example, lithium is used in rechargeable batteries for computers, phones, other electronic goods, and even certain cars. Demand for lithium was low as recently as the early 2000s. Since then, both the price of lithium and the production of lithium have more than doubled.

Start your discussion post by responding to this question:

What could explain the simultaneous increases in the price of lithium and the production of lithium? Use supply and demand curves to explain your answer. (Hint: Price and equilibrium quantity have both increased. Would a shift in the demand curve or a shift in the supply curve lead to this result?)
