ReplyDeleteThe information of this article was gathered by the American Policy Roundtable and some of the information was adapted from the Heartland Institute. This article was arguing that global warming is a hoax and that it is a scam that can destroy jobs and billions of dollars. Some of the infromation given on this article is that our computers are "too crude" to accurately predict the future, and that trying to stop greenhouse gas emissions now would not stop the climate change. A notable quote is "It's become the default throw-over issue. When politicians don't have anthing else that's working for them theytalk about global warming to get the cheers---you'd like to think it's just cheers. But it;s going to cost America a lot of money. Billions."-Dave Zanotti

Global warming has been a huge issue for several years now.
The amount of carbon dioxide have increased over the years. This is bad for the environment and is one of the cause for changes in our climate.
"Global emissions of carbon dioxide jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010"
"The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that t scientists fear will make it difficult, if not impossible, to forestall severe climate change in coming decades."
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GlobalWarming/
Global warming is the increase in Earth's temperature because of the burning fossil fuels.
It is arguing that global warming is a negative thing and it is very dangerous. It is a serious matter.
"Warming modifies rainfall patterns, amplifies coastal erosion, lengthens the growing season in some regions, melts ice caps and glaciers, and alters the ranges of some infectious diseases"

1. researchers from Purdue and Stanford University
2. argues that corn prices increase as global warming increases
3. gives information on how corn prices have changed in relation to global warming.
4. "Discussion of how rising temperatures will affect corn prices seems far removed from the national debate over climate policy, which is still focused on whether or not fossil fuels contribute to global warming"

This article was simply arguing that although people may be thinking that Global warming is obvious, but this is not the case because sometimes what is “obvious” is not always true.
The article provides eight reasons as to why people should be careful before believing the scam and wasting billions of dollars of wealth as well as jobs.
One notable quote: Global warming is “overblown and misdirected.”

The source of this article is Warming the Globe weblog, a place where people can comment and reply to what is been said.
This article argues that Global Warming is happening and it isn’t going to stop until we do something about it, or lessen our impact.
The information provides statistics and data collected to show the differences in climate changing over the years.
One notable quote: the three main components to our contribution have been industrialization, deforestation and pollution

ReplyDeleteThis source is coming from Dr.Roy Spencer who is a former NASA scientest.The article is agruing that global warming is man-made, not natural. The article's information is base off of scientests researches and discoveries. A quote,"It is interesting to note that, even though carbon dioxide is necessary for life on Earth to exist, there is precious little of it in Earth’s atmosphere" it's true but having too much carbon dioxide is bad.
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/science/topics/globalwarming/index.html#
This source is coming from the newspaper of New York Times. It explains what global warming is and why it's becoming such a big thing. It agrues that something needs to be done, before it gets out of hand. The info shows how much the world has changed overtime. "Global emissions of carbon dioxide jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010," the numbers need to be change and lower.
