Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Latitudes and Departures

Latitudes and Departures

Latitudes and departures are essential concepts in surveying, providing a systematic way to analyze the projections of traverse lines. These projections allow surveyors to interpret a line's north-south and east-west components, which are crucial for precisely calculating areas, bearings, and lengths. Latitude is the north-south projection of a line, calculated as the product of the line's length and the cosine of its bearing. Departure, conversely, is the east-west projection obtained by...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Problem Solving

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Problem Solving

In multiple dimensions, the conservation of momentum applies in each direction independently. Hence, to solve collisions in multiple dimensions, we should write down the momentum conservation in each direction separately. To help understand collisions in multiple dimensions, consider an example.
A small car of mass 1,200 kg traveling east at 60 km/h collides at an intersection with a truck of mass 3,000 kg traveling due north at 40 km/h. The two vehicles are locked together. What is the...

Schemas

Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

Environmental Economics
Labor Studies
Public Policy

Background:

Historically, economic development has often been perceived as conflicting with environmental protection.
A false dichotomy has been presented, forcing a choice between employment and ecological well-being.
The need for an inclusive green economy, where workers benefit from environmental progress, is increasingly recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

To challenge the 'jobs versus environment' narrative.
To explore the potential of existing labor foundations, like LIUNA, in building a green economy.
To identify the key drivers for the creation of green jobs.

Main Methods:

Analysis of the role of labor unions in economic transitions.
Examination of the relationship between government policy and private sector job creation in green industries.
Review of historical precedents in industrial development and environmental policy.

Main Results:

The perceived conflict between jobs and the environment is a false choice.
Labor unions possess a foundational capacity to contribute to the green economy.
Green job creation is most effectively driven by public-private partnerships, including subsidies and incentives.

Conclusions:

An equitable green economy is achievable, benefiting workers and the environment simultaneously.
Strategic partnerships between businesses and government are crucial for scaling green job creation.
Leveraging established labor organizations can accelerate the transition to sustainable employment.
