The Technological Abyss: Heideggerian Ontology and Climate Change

Climate Change Policy Targets and the Role of Technological Change

In this paper, we present results of simulation experiments with the TIME-model on the issue of mitigation strategies with regard to greenhouse gases. The TIME-model is an integrated system dynamics world energy model that takes into account the fact that the system has an inbuilt inertia and endogenous learning-by-doing dynamics, besides the more common elements of priceinduced demand response...

Endogenous Technological Change in Strategies for Mitigating Climate Change

Suggestions on international cooperation in climate policy beyond 2012 include substi-tuting or complementing international environmental agreements (IEA) with technologyoriented agreements (TOA). We look at the impact of TOA on environmental cooperationin the framework of coalition stability. Using a numerical model, we analyze the differ-ences of several TOA and how they inter...

Women, e-waste, and technological solutions to climate change.

In this paper, we argue that a crossover class of climate change solutions (which we term "technological solutions") may disproportionately and adversely impact some populations over others. We begin by situating our discussion in the wider climate discourse, particularly with regard to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Basel Convention. We then suggest that many of the most attra...

Particularly in their structural forms as well as in their emphases, selection, and transformation of material cultural artifacts reproduce essential elements of the social context, bringing out the prevailing suppositions and conditioning forces and displaying them prominently. According to...
