To what degree do you believe that individual activities – say, choosing to walk to
work instead of driving – can have a measurable impact on a changing climate?
Why? How do you think that scientific, political, ethical, social, and/or cultural
perspectives have shaped your beliefs on this matter? Use the following required
links:
National Aeronautics and Space Administration – Climate Change: How Do We
Know?
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – About
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – Reports
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with
examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly
cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
Compare and contrast your classmates’ response relating to whether an
individual’s activities can have a measurable impact on a changing climate with
your own beliefs. How are the forces that have shaped your classmates’ beliefs
different from your own? Howaretheythesame?
