Climate Change (Global Warming) Collection

Effects of Global Warming
Our youth of today are speaking loudly about their concern with this topic. This collection can help them become more informed by removing any misconceptions. One article in particular, "The Petition—A Global Warming Case Study -- Debating the Causes and Consequences of Earth’s Changing Climate", lends itself for classroom inquiry by asking the following questions:
1. What is meant by the term “global
warming” and why may it be a problem?
2. What is the most probable cause of
“global warming?”
3. What lines of evidence support or
refute “global warming?”
4. Can we do anything about “global
warming?”
I would be very interested in the results of a classroom voting ballot on the final question of the article: “Would you sign the petition to stop the United States from signing the treaty?”
Great topic and great job on the collection!
