Free Post # 2: Wicked Problems

This week I wanna talk about something I learned about in My ESA 200 class called Wicked Problems. Wicked problems are problems where no agreement can be reached. There are no True or False clear cut answers to these types of problems. They are also constantly changing over time. These types of problems include things like Global climate change, biofuel production, nuclear energy, or air quality. These types of problems are not tame, with a clear cut definition. In wicked problems many stake holders have different types of ideas about what the real problem is and what is causing it. They can not be  fixed by what we call " normal science". There is always uncertainty over the system components and outcomes of the problems.  This is a big problem in the environmental field because there are always growing concerns about many environmental problems. We can not just say this is the answer and have everyone on board. Wicked problems are something that need to be addressed. I think it is interesting to look into these wicked problems and see everyone different viewpoints, although it is a big problem because no agreement can be made to go about fixing them.
