National Geographic: 6 degrees could change the earth.
How to take a position on climate change and support your position for or against, using evidence. Students will analyze information about climate change and their sources for bias and ultimately take a stance arguing for or against it. I will give you an example of how you should interpret each piece of Evidence and answer. My answers will be in red.Evidence #11. Who is the source of this graph? Look under the figure for the source. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? ExplainYou need to research that website first. This website is published from the Smithsonian Institute. Not Biased for climate change since this is a science-based organization that basis it's decisions on science. So if the science shows climate change then it would be a fact after a series of experiments and countless peer reviews and published articles.3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain. You will use your judgment, according to the evidence, and you may say yes and another person no. SO I put an argument for both. You will only decide yes or no (not both) and explain your reasoning.Yes, this is a good example because scientists have measured CO2 levels and have determined according to the graph above, that as CO2 levels increase this ocean's acidity increases and cause coral bleaching and the death of corals, which are the nursery of the oceans. ORNo, this is not a good example because it does not show where this testing took place it may be different in other parts of the world. How does this correlate with the damage of overfishing and runoff from developing countries that may be polluting the waters and causing these results? Evidence #21. Who is the source of this graph?2. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? Explain3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain. Evidence #31. Who is the source of this graph?2. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? Explain3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain. Evidence #41. Who is the source of this graph?2. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? Explain3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain. Evidence #51. Who is the source of this graph?2. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? Explain3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain. Evidence #61. Who is the source of this graph?2. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? Explain3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain. Evidence #71. Who is the source of this graph?2.

Evidence #81. Who is the source of this graph?2. Do you think the source is biased (for or against climate change) or neutral? Explain3. Would this be a good example to use as evidence when making your decision about climate change? Explain.
