Speculative causal map concerning a range of intended („positive‟) and non- intended („negative‟) effects of a UK policy scheme to introduce vehicle scrappage. Short term effects. See further discussion of this approach in Chapter 4. B2X) or ‗Holy Smoke!‘ An effect occurred that was not known before, never occurred in that policy context or have only existed as speculation. This is analogous to Xxxxxx‘s (1921) concept of ‗objective chance‘, as in such a situation policy-makers‘ causal models could not possibly incorporate certain variables. In some cases the effects materialise forcefully up front, as for example the consequences of ineffective airport safety controls indirectly allowing the unprecedented disaster to occur in New York and Washington on 11 September 2001. One may find that the outcome was beyond comprehension, or rather that it was due to a series of blind spots (The 9/11 Commission Report 2004). In other cases cause and effects relations may only be uncovered following long periods of extensive research, if ever. For example, ballast water carried by ships have been found to disperse a wide range aquatic organisms –jellyfish, crabs, clams, fish, snails, etc. over long distances and sometimes release them as alien or invasive species in other waters where they may disrupt local ecosystems and crowd out indigenous ones (NRC, 1996). To foresee such an effect in advance seem at least to require development of an ecosystems based thinking. More recently the potential introduction of bacteria and viruses through ballast water has become a possible concern, which however remains very little studied (Battelle, 2000). Potentially this category is almost endless, especially if one considers all possible secondary effects across modes and sectors and questions such as what the bicycle has meant for the alleged happiness of Danes, or what full motorisation will do to China and the world. The above categories are here defined as distinct although they are really only points on several continua that can be frozen only by convention. For example, anticipations of effects will rarely be 100% correct; ‗inaccurate‘ weighting among causal variables can be on a bigger or smaller scale; system boundaries can be set up in ways that are more or less blind to spill over effects, and ignorance can be fundamental or passing, for example depending on where on the ladder of research utilisation potentially enlightening knowledge presently sits (if it has entered it at all).
