He studies the impact of innovative technology on climate change policy and governance, focusing on solar geoengineering. In the eight years he\u0027s been researching it, Harding said it\u0027s the scale of the conversation that\u0027s changed the most: not what the researchers are speaking about, but who they\u0027re speaking to.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022A lot of people in the climate policy and academic realms were hesitant to talk about solar geoengineering, and I think that\u2019s starting to change,\u0022 Harding said. \u0022There\u0027s definitely wider acceptance of at least talking about it, and in that way, pathways to having spaces to talk about it and research funds are opening up.\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAs the idea of solar geoengineering picks up steam, Harding invites everyone to join the conversation, starting with learning about what it is, how it works, and whether or not this once-niche proposition really can save the world.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EWhat is Solar Geoengineering?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe most commonly proposed method of solar geoengineering, which also goes by names such as solar radiation modification or climate intervention, uses sulfate aerosols. When injected into the Earth\u0027s stratosphere, they reflect a small amount of the sun\u0027s radiation \u2014 less than 1% \u2014 and reduce Earth\u0027s surface temperature. This option is the most popular, and the one Harding studies, because we have natural examples, he explained. Volcanoes release sulfates when they erupt, and the largest ones are strong enough to push them into the stratosphere.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022So we have evidence from the past that if sulfate aerosols make it up to the stratosphere, there\u0027s a cooling effect,\u0022 he said. \u0022This natural analog gives us a bit more belief that it\u0027s going to work at least in some of the ways we expect it to in the real world and not just on a computer.\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe other two types of solar geoengineering researchers consider most seriously are marine cloud brightening to reflect incoming sunlight and Cirrus cloud thinning to let light escape more easily. Each one has pros and cons. For example, marine cloud brightening would only occur over the deepest and darkest parts of the ocean, Harding said, \u0022which would have a non-uniform cooling effect and could lead to certain adverse outcomes. \u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStratospheric aerosol injection has a more uniform distribution and cooling effect that better mimics the warming we\u0027re experiencing. However, it comes with its own concerns, one of which is that the cooling isn\u0027t permanent.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022If something happened to stop the deployment of the aerosols, whether it was for political or technological reasons, we would bounce right back and experience a rapid heating that we\u0027ve never experienced before, and could have catastrophic impacts,\u0022 Harding said.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EWhat are the Costs and Benefits of Solar Geoengineering?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis question is where Harding\u0027s research makes the most impact.

But it\u0027s also an interesting question from a governance and economics perspective. Solar geoengineering has global repercussions, the decision will affect the entire world. How do we develop governance structures, conversations, and inclusivity to ensure we\u0027re making a choice for the collective good?\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor example, one of the downsides of using sulfate aerosols for solar geoengineering is negative health effects. But it also has the benefit of preventing temperature-related deaths. So, how do they compare? Harding\u0027s recently submitted paper, which is not yet peer-reviewed, finds that the benefits of reduced deaths outweigh the adverse health effects of solar geoengineering \u0022by at least an order of magnitude \u2014 if not two orders of magnitude,\u0022 he said.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHarding notes that a more comprehensive comparison of risks and benefits is still required, but in the context of the two health impacts he examined, \u201cYes, it\u2019s a concern, and something we should consider, but we need to put it in perspective that the benefits are significantly greater than that negative effect.\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EWhy is Solar Geoengineering Controversial?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EUncertain health outcomes?

(His 2023 paper \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/oxrep\/grad044\u0022 rel=\u0022noreferrer noopener\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Eexamines this problem.\u003C\/a\u003E)\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAlthough he disagrees, others believe that researching solar geoengineering also makes it more likely that we deploy it, Harding explained.

But there\u0027s a lot of uncertainty, and it needs a lot more attention to quell any concerns about catastrophe,\u0022 Harding said.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022The most salient concern is that we put a lot of faith in solar geoengineering, invest a lot of resources, and slow down emissions cuts because we think we have a silver bullet. And then we get to 2080 and realize it doesn\u0027t work as expected. That\u0027s a very real concern. But the one that receives less attention is if we put solar geoengineering aside and don\u0027t spend the resources investigating it. Then we get to 2080 and realize, \u0027Wow, this technology could have worked and relieved a lot of suffering.\u0027 I think it\u0027s important to understand the flip side of that.\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAs the idea of solar geoengineering picks up steam, Tony Harding, an assistant professor in the School of Public Policy, invites everyone to join the conversation \u2014 starting with learning about what it is, how it works, and whether or not this once-niche proposition really can save the world.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"As the idea of solar geoengineering picks up steam, Harding invites everyone to join the conversation, starting with learning about what it is, how it works, and whether or not this once-niche proposition really can save the world."}],"uid":"35766","created_gmt":"2024-01-30 17:14:10","changed_gmt":"2024-01-30 21:35:51","author":"dminardi3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2024-01-30T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2024-01-30T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"672901":{"id":"672901","type":"image","title":"solar geoengineering.jpg","body":null,"created":"1706635690","gmt_created":"2024-01-30 17:28:10","changed":"1706635690","gmt_changed":"2024-01-30 17:28:10","alt":"AI generated image of an airplane dropping sulfate aerosols in the clouds","file":{"fid":"256230","name":"solar geoengineering.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2024\/01\/30\/solar%20geoengineering.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2024\/01\/30\/solar%20geoengineering.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":74859,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2024\/01\/30\/solar%20geoengineering.jpg?itok=Rq3CYtea"}}},"media_ids":["672901"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1289","name":"School of Public Policy"}],"categories":[{"id":"154","name":"Environment"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:dminardi3@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EDi Minardi\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIvan Allen College of Liberal Arts\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["dminardi3@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"672458":{"#nid":"672458","#data":{"type":"news","title":"SPP Alumna Wins Herbert Simon Award","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ESchool of Public Policy alumna Leisha DeHart-Davis was named the 2024 Herbert Simon Award winner.

The researchers found that women academics were nearly eight times as likely \u2014 30.6% to 3.9% \u2014 to report serving as primary caregivers. However, 57.1% of men in academics and 52% of women reported parenting roles were equally divided. But the researchers\u2019 analysis of time and task reporting showed that even women in self-described dual parenting relationships or who described themselves as secondary caregivers still turned out to be handling the majority of caregiving duties.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThese asymmetries between labor and credit show that even in the perception of equality between parents, women carry a higher burden of labor,\u201d the researchers wrote.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe research also found discrepancies in the impact of parental leave. Men who took leave after the birth of a child were more likely to take shorter amounts of leave, but because they often perform fewer childcare tasks, they ended up being more productive at work. On the other hand, women took longer leaves but were often recovering from childbirth and consumed with even more childcare tasks, further reducing the time available to catch up on research work. She said they also miss out on other crucial aspects of their job.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIt\u2019s not just not having time in the lab to produce knowledge.

Allen College Experts Break Down the Proposed Senate Climate Deal","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESenate negotiators are continuing to work on a deal that they say would help facilitate the nation\u0026rsquo;s transition to a green economy and make some significant tax changes. The climate change provisions in the bill would provide billions in dollars in tax credits to boost U.S. manufacturing of renewable energy equipment and increase power generation from renewables, offer rebates to people who retrofit their homes with energy-efficient appliances or buy an electric vehicle, and reduce the planet-warming effects from agricultural practices. It would also provide money to help disadvantaged and minority communities often disproportionately affected by climate change. Other key provisions would seek to increase taxes on corporations and levy higher taxes on public equity and hedge fund managers by closing what is called the carried interest loophole.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe asked Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts faculty for their analysis of the proposal. Here are their takeaways:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt will help accelerate the adoption of alternative energy. \u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026ldquo;These cost-effective incentives will help accelerate our inevitable transition off of fossil fuels and will help further development of large-scale energy storage to mitigate issues of intermittency associated with wind and solar,\u0026rdquo; said Casey Wichman, an assistant professor in the School of Economics who studies environmental and public economics. Wichman says one particularly notable provision would increase fees on companies whose energy infrastructure \u0026mdash; such as oil and gas wells and pipelines \u0026mdash; leaks methane gas. \u0026ldquo;That\u0026rsquo;s huge since methane is a more potent greenhouse gas that contributes to more immediate warming,\u0026rdquo; Wichman said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIncentives for electric vehicles are good but come with some caveats. \u003C\/strong\u003EThe bill\u0026rsquo;s equitable rebates represent a vast improvement over past federal legislation, offering $4,000 consumer tax credit specifically for\u0026nbsp;lower- or middle-income people\u0026nbsp;to buy used electric vehicles, and up to $7,500 tax credit for income-capped people to buy new clean vehicles, notes Marilyn Brown, Regents Professor and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems in the School of Public Policy. Wichman notes that while it\u0026#39;s true that the bill\u0026rsquo;s electric vehicle tax credits would help close the price gap between electric and internal combustion vehicles and potentially help moderate-income Americans save money on commuting expenses, the bill\u0026rsquo;s larger incentives for larger vehicles might also encourage some consumers to purchase heavier EVs. That could potentially increase other costs, such as those related to vehicle accidents, Wichman said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe bill\u0026rsquo;s proposed tax credits to keep nuclear plants running, and fund improvements, also are important. \u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026ldquo;The reason is that intermittent wind and solar simply will not be able to provide power on a scale large enough to make a significant dent in our carbon emissions \u0026mdash; certainly not in time to avoid getting locked into one of the more severe projected climate and temperature trajectories,\u0026rdquo; according to Matthew Oliver, associate professor in the School of Economics and an expert on the economics of energy, the environment, and natural resources. \u0026ldquo;While sure to generate a lot of controversy, my personal view is that this is incredibly important and a really positive development in the effort to fight climate change, and something that many people probably won\u0026#39;t fully appreciate.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt isn\u0026rsquo;t just about climate change. \u003C\/strong\u003ERichard Barke, an associate professor in the School of Public Policy who teaches American politics, notes the bill would establish a minimum tax for large corporations and increase taxes on public equity and hedge fund managers by closing the carried interest loophole. It would allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices. It provides funds to support coal miners with black lung disease \u0026mdash; key to West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin\u0026rsquo;s linchpin support in striking the deal. And supporters say some of the manufacturing and energy incentives could help relieve supply bottlenecks, potentially helping reduce the threat of inflation and preventing overseas energy shocks from so drastically impacting domestic supplies and prices.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia stands to benefit. \u003C\/strong\u003EWith recent investments in manufacturing plants to make electric vehicles and batteries, Georgia already has a stake in the green energy transition, says Brown, \u0026ldquo;The big potential for Georgia is in clean energy manufacturing jobs, incentives for households to invest in energy efficiency\u003Cstrong\u003E, \u003C\/strong\u003Erooftop solar, and environmental justice,\u0026rdquo; she said. \u0026ldquo;The alignment of this bill with the roadmap of 20 high-impact climate solutions that we helped develop as part of the Drawdown Georgia project is uncanny and reassuring. It suggests Georgia is poised to be a major beneficiary of this legislation.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIt\u0026rsquo;s not a done deal yet. \u003C\/strong\u003EBarke says that while Manchin signed on to the compromise deal, a key hurdle for Senate leadership, plenty of potential obstacles remain. They include the possibility of Republican amendments and concern over the position of Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat who has yet to endorse the deal publicly and whose vote would be required to pass the legislation in the Senate.

His research focuses on increasing access to education and employment for people with disabilities, with specializations in the accessibility of information and communications technologies (ICTs), workplace accommodations and employment policy, broadening participation in STEM education, and program evaluation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo date, Moon has been the PI or co-PI of 13 projects totaling $5.12 million in external funding. Additionally, he has been project director or task leader on nine other projects and been a co-investigator for three other projects. In addition to the projects he has led, he has contributed significantly to a total of $16.1 million in sponsored research, for a total of over $20 million in funding at Georgia Tech. He has developed interrelated programs of research, which share in common the objective to advance independent living outcomes and inclusion of people with disabilities, and to broaden participation of people from underrepresented groups more generally in education and employment. For example, he was the lead evaluator for SciTrain University, a U.S. Department of Education demonstration program led by Georgia Tech, in partnership with the University of Georgia. During this three-year effort to increase inclusive teaching practices, an estimated 3,000 students at Georgia Tech and UGA benefitted from this work. These research programs also are characterized through the novel use of emerging and next generation wireless technologies in ways that are empowering.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMoon has authored or co-authored 30 peer-reviewed publications, including two books, with over 800 citations in the scholarly literature. Additionally, Moon has delivered over 30 refereed conference presentations on the subject of accessibility and disability, and he has given numerous invited talks to diverse audiences. Of note is \u003Cem\u003EAccommodating Students with Disabilities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)\u003C\/em\u003E, an NSF-sponsored handbook for researchers, educators, and practitioners in the field. Over 2,000 copies of this publication have been distributed free to the public, and it has been cited nearly 150 times.\u0026nbsp; Moon also holds a courtesy appointment at Adjunct Professor\/Lecturer in the School of History and Sociology, where he teaches courses in modern American and European history.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMcDermott also is an alumnus of the Ivan Allen College.

He supports faculty members in writing grants and running events, and he was also in charge of Nunn School communications efforts over the past two years.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMcDermott is responsible for preserving and expanding CISTP\u0026rsquo;s relationships across Georgia Tech, metro Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. for event co-sponsorship and\/or grant proposal co-sponsorship. This requires close cooperation with the Nunn School\u0026rsquo;s three focus areas: emerging technology and security;\u0026nbsp;international affairs,\u0026nbsp;science and technology;\u0026nbsp;and global development. These areas are buoyed by partnerships with the School of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering and the School of Aerospace Engineering, with regular cooperative efforts existing between the schools.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHe led the initial effort to bring the United States Space Force (USSF) University Partnership Program (UPP) to Georgia Tech. The USSF established the UPP to recruit, educate, and develop a competent, diverse, and inclusive workforce. The UPP is strategically designed to leverage and support the nation\u0026rsquo;s top research universities that emphasize high academic standards, quality Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics degree programs, and research activities. A memorandum of understanding was signed on Nov. 11, 2021, and the Nunn School and the School of Aerospace Engineering are poised to be the leads in the endeavor.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMcDermott\u0026rsquo;s research interests have shifted slightly since his graduate studies, tending to focus on international security and general emerging technology issues. He uses scenario writing as a way to explore these issues, teaching the course Scenario Writing and Path Gaming and utilizing the scenarios developed in the course for his own research. He co-leads simulations in courses such as Energy and International Security (Adam Stulberg), Problem of Proliferation (Rachel Whitlark), Middle East Relations (Lawrence Rubin), and Technology and Statecraft: U.S. \u0026amp; Russia (Jennifer Jordan\/Adam Stulberg).

(Thanks, Gordon Kingsley, for convincing me to be an Orange!) Post-law school, I started as a corporate intellectual property attorney at several prominent Atlanta-based firms, then I was a co-founder and general counsel of a multi-line women\u0026rsquo;s international apparel sales company, and now I am chairperson of a great local non-profit, BlazeSports America. But, most importantly, I have had the privilege and honor of coaching and teaching the mock trial team at Georgia Tech since 2007. So, needless to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed \u0026mdash; and learned quite a lot \u0026mdash; from my diverse post-graduation endeavors.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhat\u0026rsquo;s your favorite part of your current role?\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECoaching and teaching with the Georgia Tech mock trial team is, frankly, the best role I have ever had \u0026mdash; a mix between why I wanted to be a lawyer (engaging communications, teamwork, convincing legal arguments) and coaching and mentoring soon-to-be Georgia Tech alumni at a crucial point in their lives.\u0026nbsp;Not to brag, but we finished sixth\u0026nbsp;in our division and 10\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E\u0026nbsp;overall\u0026nbsp;out of 48 teams at the national championship tournament in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this year!\u0026nbsp;For scale, there are approximately 750 undergraduate college mock trial programs in the country.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EHow do you think your Georgia Tech public policy education prepared you to succeed?\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor me, it provided the tools not only to learn about critical thinking and analytical skills, but it also set the foundation as a lawyer to succeed in a variety of complicated matters. I often give this example to illustrate it: In my corporate attorney days, I was involved in an extremely complex international intellectual property case in eastern Texas where hundreds of millions of dollars were at stake. When this case went to jury trial, we had not only to be correct with our analysis of complicated patent infringement claims; we also had to convey these terms so that the jury would understand, and, ideally, rule in our favor. Out of four clients in this suit, we were the only one found not liable for patent infringement, and I regularly credit the skills I learned as an undergraduate with helping me in situations like this.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhat\u0026rsquo;s something that surprised you about post-graduation life?\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFrankly, it was a good surprise \u0026mdash; I heard horror stories from fellow law students about how difficult law school was, the practice of law, etc. \u0026mdash; but Georgia Tech prepared me for this. It teaches us all how to work hard, study hard, and plan accordingly to have a good work-life balance. It gave me the keys to undergrad, law school, and beyond!\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhat about your work has made you particularly proud?\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHow good our mock trial team is! For some background, as a corporate attorney seeking to keep my trial skills fresh, I started coaching high school mock trailers in the Atlanta area in 2006, but then I learned Georgia Tech had a mock trial program! In 2007, I reached out to Kate Wasch, who was the head coach at the time (and who is currently chief counsel at Tech) to assist, then Kate passed the baton on to me, for which I am so very grateful. Teaching, coaching, mentoring, and succeeding with mock trailers at my alma mater is by far the most rewarding professional experience I have ever had. This year is the fifth time in the last six seasons that Georgia Tech Mock Trial has advanced to the national championship, and people are regularly quite surprised at our success, given that we do not have a law school. While approximately half of our students plan to attend law school (and are usually seeking a certificate in pre-law), it does not matter what major one chooses at Tech, as we all succeed!\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhat\u0026rsquo;s something you miss about Georgia Tech?\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe challenging, rewarding, and constantly developing educational environment.

For example, your first job may not be ideal, but you have it, so you need to benefit from it however you can to prepare for something else.

For me, the policy course load gave me a unique perspective to apply to other courses within the Ivan Allen College, especially during my time as a Sam Nunn Security Fellow, which really shaped my dissertation research. I was very fortunate when I started in the School of Public Policy, as I was involved in multiple interdisciplinary programs right from the start.

Being a student allows for a unique opportunity to explore so many of your interests, and there are likely many ways to make a career out of them that may not initially come to mind. I got involved in cybersecurity late in my graduate school career, mainly because I recognized it was going to increase in importance in the career paths I was interested in, so I needed to catch up. I saw an email about the Institute for Information Security and Privacy Cybersecurity Fellowship, applied, and it helped catch me up to where I needed to be.

Instead of sitting for a test, they sit down with a government official and advocate for an issue that\u0026rsquo;s important to them, or they volunteer with a nonprofit working for the same cause. These students are enrolled in POL 2101: State and Local Government and have spent the entire semester studying an issue of their choosing and trying to find the best solution for it.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFormer state lawmaker Michael Polak, BS IE \u0026lsquo;84, teaches the class. Polak was supposed to return to Georgia Tech as the first Ph.D. student in the School of Public Policy. But instead, he was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1993, and then moved to the State Senate in 1998. After serving 10 years in the legislature, he retired in 2002.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMore than a decade later, Polak, then a School of Public Policy Advisory Board member, told his colleagues at Georgia Tech about a class he had taught on state and local government at Armstrong University in Savannah. This sparked an idea to revive a similar one within the School of Public Policy. Polak began teaching POL 2101 in 2013, as an adjunct professor and has been here ever since.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;One of the goals of the class is for students to find something that they\u0026rsquo;re passionate about,\u0026rdquo; Polak said. \u0026ldquo;If you\u0026rsquo;re passionate about something, you can work to change it.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPolak\u0026rsquo;s students begin the semester by pinpointing an issue of interest to them. It must be an issue that the student finds unjust and can be handled by state or local government. This can range from housing policies to school funding to rural healthcare. From there, students do foundational research to build out a problem definition for their topic before coming up with as many solutions as possible. They then narrow the list down to a final five, and then a final one. Next, it\u0026rsquo;s time to test, validate, and advocate for their solution, including finding the right people to talk to about implementing it.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;So many students come back from meeting with legislators and say, \u0026lsquo;I didn\u0026rsquo;t know they would listen to me,\u0026rsquo; even if the legislators completely disagree with them,\u0026rdquo; Polak said. \u0026ldquo;And I tell them that people will listen because they respect the Institute and the quality of the students coming out of it.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPolak estimates that roughly two-thirds of his students each semester decide to advocate to state legislators and elected officials directly. The other third opts to volunteer with a relevant nonprofit or campus organization. In total, over 90 government officials have helped Yellow Jackets in POL 2101 test and validate their chosen issues and solutions. Some even invite students down to the Capitol for face-to-face meetings; last semester, industrial engineering major Anna Holloway \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SpeakerRalston\/posts\/308796437916869\u0022\u003Emet with\u003C\/a\u003E Speaker of the House David Ralston.

In 2013, senior Sean Poole \u0026mdash; a POL 2101 student and punter for the Georgia Tech football team \u0026mdash; took on a cause that was personal to him.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPoole knew from watching his niece struggle to get the care she needed that insurance companies were not required to provide appropriate services for people with autism. At the time, lawmakers were beginning to debate \u0026ldquo;Ava\u0026rsquo;s Law,\u0026rdquo; a bill to mandate coverage for such care. Advocates had been lobbying for such a bill for years, and Poole decided to join them. He reached out to such companies as The Home Depot and Coca-Cola to see if they would join in fighting for Ava\u0026rsquo;s Law. Poole continued working with these corporate partners after he completed POL 2101. In 2015, lawmakers passed the bill, and former Gov. Nathan Deal signed it into law.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis year, Polak expects that some students will want to shape their advocacy efforts around some of the key ballot issues likely to surface in the 2022 mid-term elections.

These are models of potential climate futures that go beyond forecast carbon emission predictions to examine cultural, political, and economic changes that could serve to accelerate, or put the brakes on, climate change.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile timber prices are expected to rise across most of the scenarios simulated in the study, the increase is not enough to stave off the continued loss of forestland to agricultural and other uses, according to the study. Total forestland is predicted to decline by between 97 million and 160 million hectares, or about 375,000 square miles to 618,000 square miles, through 2100. Those effects are most pronounced in the scenarios with the lowest economic growth and least demand for timber.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, increased demand for timber in some scenarios would likely result in additional planting on timber plantations, resulting in up to 16 million hectares (about 62,000 square miles) of new managed forests across the region. Combined with the carbon storage gained from more robust tree growth due to climate change, these new managed forests could help offset the potential damages of climate change in terms of tree migration and increase in dieback rate. That is, the amount of carbon sequestered per hectare of forests in Latin America will increase under climate change, according to the research.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;This is an important finding for this region that has a large portion of natural forests that remains one of the planet\u0026rsquo;s most important safeguards against carbon emissions and source of other ecosystem services,\u0026rdquo; the researchers wrote in their paper.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAcross the socioeconomic scenarios modeled, natural and unmanaged forests also could decline by 20% relative to current levels without additional forest conservation policies, according to the study.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe changes vary from country to country. For instance, more severe climate change could result in Brazil losing a significant portion of its remaining temperate forests while its tropical forests could grow. But the effects are milder in the rest of South America and Central America. In terms of timber production, the research suggests only Argentina would increase its output under modest and more severe warming models.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EImportance of Public Policy in Slowing Climate Change\u003C\/h2\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe findings are particularly important for public officials, timber companies, and land managers across Latin America, where land management decisions in coming decades could have a tangible impact on global climate.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the paper, the researchers include a call for forest management policies that will help Latin American forests retain their position as an important element in the fight against climate change.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESimilar to how \u0026ldquo;market and institutional factors have contributed to second-growth forests in plantations, and more enforcement of property rights and community forest management have reduced the negative effects of deforestation on carbon stock, forward-looking forest management decisions, and conservation policies to preserve carbon in forests could mitigate the adverse effects of climate change in the future,\u0026rdquo; the researchers wrote in their paper.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe paper, \u0026ldquo;Climate Change and Timber in Latin America: Will the Forestry Sector Flourish Under Climate Change?\u0026rdquo; was published online on Dec. 1 in \u003Cem\u003EForest Policy and Economics\u003C\/em\u003E.
