1. Two trends that can be identified from the concept map are the decline in polar bear population, as can be seen from the impact of climate change on the arctic, and cost to produce is rising as the supply of oil gets smaller.
2. One time delay shown on the map is climate change does not happen immediately after greenhouse gasses are put into the air from the burning of fossil fuels, it take a while for them to build up to notice any change in temperature at all. Another time delay occuring within the map is education, as the youth learn to be capable of developing new techonology to increase energy efficiency, but it will take until they reach a working age until we are able to see the results in their inventions.
3. One feedback loop is that the better technology gets, the easier and more accessible education will become through computers and such, creating a well educated generation. This generation will, in turn, create better techonoly for a new generation. Also, the more who ride public transportation would create lower gas prices, which would then lower the price of the bus, creating more people to ride the bus, which continues to lower has prices...
4. If you increase public transportation, less fossil fuels are burning which then in turn slows climate change. Also, decreasing war and bettering international relations would result in less money being spent on military as well as oil which would better the economy and increase funds to power new ideas for reneweable energy resources.
