Topic: [Hotter Summers, Warmer Winters: Climate Change in America]
SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY:
1. Research Question: [Why are we having hotter summers and warmer winters in the U.S.?]
2. Background Research: [In seeking to obtain information relating to the topic I selected, I have consulted various sources - including internet and library sources. The resources I went through in preparation for this undertaking include, but they are not limited to, expert opinions and peer-reviewed journal articles. It is also important to note that I also spoke to a climate specialist who, luckily enough, happens to be a family friend.]
3. Hypothesis: [On the basis of not only the background research I have already conducted, but also my current level of knowledge about the topic, I expect to find out that global warming is responsible for hotter summers and warmer winters in the U.S.]
4. Proposed Field Experience: See Outline below. [I live in the capital region and over time, I have noticed that the weather has been experiencing significant changes. In essence, we are having summers that are hotter than they were before and winters that are warmer than they used to be. As a matter of…

Climate Change The world's ecological issues have been studied intensely by scientists in various academic disciplines vigorously for many years and have been greatly accelerated in recent decades. The level of understanding about how natural systems on the planet operate has become immensely sophisticated. Although there are still some issues that remain puzzling, on the whole, scientists have a fairly good understanding of the planets natural systems function. In recent years

The country is facing a lack of leadership on the issue, where targets are set but changes to achieve those targets not implemented. The issue does not appear to capture the imagination of voters, and this further contributes to political apathy. The upcoming election does provide an opportunity for voters to change their views, and that could change the course of Canadian climate change policy again, including its role

Where the paper once debated policy options -- which reasonably could include doing nothing -- it now uses intellectually deficient arguments riddled with logical fallacies to debate the subject. The tone has gone from one of applying academically-accepted economics to undermine the policy prescriptions for dealing with climate change, an approach that is intellectually honest but hard to follow for those without an economics background, to simplistic arguments that

Climate Change Introduction and Claim Climate Change
Climate Change Introduction and Claim Climate change has occurred throughout the earth's history. Ice ages and other radical transformations to the earth's atmosphere have led to dramatic consequences of life on the planet. Ample scientific evidence shows that climate change is occurring rapidly now, and that much of it has been driven by human activities. Moreover, climate change can have serious consequences for life on earth. According to NASA, the recent climate

Climate Change in Australia's Alpine Region The environments of entire Australia comprise of approximately 0.3% of total global land mass. The alpine region of Australia is found along the mountain ranges of southeastern, central plateau and Victoria mountain ranges. The altitudes in the alpine area vary significantly ranging from Tasmania's 1,300 m to 1,850m in South Wales (Diaz, Beniston & Bradley, 2007). Changes in climatic conditions have diverse potential impacts on

1. The first graph on the NASA site shows the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, comparing across time. It shows that for all time, there were fluctuations in the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, but that the level always remained below 300 parts per million. The graph takes a sharp uptick in recent years, and by the time we
