Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:

2. Explain the causes of both global warming and depletion of the ozone layer, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and use of CFCs. Compare and contrast international attempts to curb these problems.
3. Discuss the paths to success and failure in managing the two problems, for instance, treaties have been more successful at curbing ozone depletion than controlling greenhouse gasses.
4. Analyze what might be done to transcend these failures, considering the logic of the "tragedy of the commons" in the process of doing so.
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
