The sun is causing most of the warming of the Earth, science homework help

/in /by

Human-induced climate change remains a controversial topic with a lot of misinformation on both sides of the political spectrum. Discuss the following aspects of some of the more common claims about global warming. A very good website that discusses some of these topics is the Skeptical Science (https://skepticalscience.com/) website.

  • The sun is causing most of the warming of the Earth.
  • Scientists don’t really agree on global warming.
  • It hasn’t warmed since 1998 and therefore global warming really isn’t happening
  • Antarctica is actually gaining ice.
  • We have had some very severe winters recently, evidence the Earth is not warming.
  • Cities have grown in size and cities are generally warmer than the surroundings creating a false temperature reading.
  • The temperature record is unreliable and therefore we really don’t know what’s going on.

Make sure to:

  • Write a short essay or paragraph of at least 300 words.
  • Use concrete examples/details and avoid generalities.
  • Address all questions.
  • Use proper grammar and punctuation.
  • Cite your sources.
