Climate Change: Should We Be Worried? Global warming is one of the most stressed issues on mainstream media today, behind the war on terror. Although, should we be worried about it? In this annotated bibliography, the sources consider plenty of information about climate, such as, how it affects the earth, possible solutions to the energy problem, and proof that global warming is happening and that it is caused by an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere. For solutions to the problem the sources contemplate
Introduction Global warming refers to an incremental in earth’s temperature. Some believes this is occurring naturally but the prevailing view attributes climate change to the greenhouse effect. The "greenhouse effect" refers to the warming resulting from certain gases such as carbon dioxide in Earth 's atmosphere trapping heat. These gases traps heat but let light in, similarly to the glass walls of a greenhouse. The general belief is that mankind are chiefly responsible for global warming because
Thesis Development: In the article “Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math”, Bill McKibben opens by saying that back in 2012, according to the statistics, Canada surpassed the global record high for climate temperature, destroying other previous records. Despite the research and the displaying of data, no one is doing anything to address the issue. McKibben takes three distinctive numbers that shed light on this issue 2 degrees Celsius, 565 gigatons, and 2795 gigatons, to validate and support his
Annotated Bibliography Becker, Rachel A. “4 Ways Polar Bears are Dealing with Climate Change.” National Geographic, 4 September 2015. Web. Accessed 31 January 2018. Polar bears are declining in numbers as the sea ice is diminishing. There are fewer than 25,000 polar bears left in the wild, “the population has dropped about 40 percent between 2001 to 2010, from 1,500 to 900 bears.” Not only has the number of polar bears decreased, but they have been acting strangely as their surroundings continue
amateur writer. I had become so accustomed to high school writing assignments, which are nowhere near as complex as college writing assignments. There was never any large standards for any writing task. “Write a paper and discuss how you feel about global warming, 2 pages long”, This is just an example of how simple a writing prompt in high school would be, no real direction. English 1101introduced me to more complicated instructions such as including a specific format, cited sources, using different research
dioxide concentration and global warming have all affected the survival of sharks directly. This review will analyse the specific reasons why an increase in carbon dioxide and global warming will impact the survival of the shark and explore the extent of overfishing. Additionally the specific role that sharks play in an eco-system will be discussed as well as the uses of sharks by humans. The research discussed shows some of the physiological effects of acidification and warming of the ocean. The way
relevant sources that had the information I needed. The process was very intimidating at first, but now I can find sources to use in my papers for making a strong, persuasive argument. The first major milestone of the course came in Module 3, the annotated bibliography, which was key in the beginning to a strong paper and my understanding the research process. I learned how to properly document my sources, and basically ended up with the foundation of my paper. I thought I wouldn’t be able to get this part
Global warming denial and unprogressive energy outlooks are all products of not seeing the full picture. The evidence is clear, even in nature. Plants are blooming earlier, animals are waking up from hibernation earlier, birds are migrating farther north, and populations of animals have already gone extinct due to global warming. Yet, some still stay stern in denying its reality. That being said, even honest open-minded people can fall prey to misleading notions and statistics. To truly uncover the
Writing Assignments Considerations for Writing Assignments Types of Writing Assignments Freshman Rhetoric courses require at least 30 pages of writing that the instructor reads and responds to, and that counts towards the student’s final grade in some way. Because this is a writing course, students should be engaged in writing in some form throughout the entire course. The following list describes the major forms of writing that instructors assign. 1. Essays (out-of-class papers). Instructors
span. One from Monsanto Corporation, one organic, on a typical farm with non-modified seeds and animals and one genetically modified farmer grown with good soil , good water and no or non-harmful pesticides. All four sources used in this annotated bibliography, provided in-depth good research covering the last decade from reputable sources. One article was directly from a researcher on the GMO project. Without further testing and the proper handling GMOs could have a very bad reaction to the animal
