Transcript
ESS 221 Documentary 2 – Due 5 April 2017 by 5PM The Climate Wars: The Battle Begins The Climate Wars: The Battle Begins presents the global warming scientific dialogue and the controversy that has surrounded it since the 1950s. It attempts to answer the questions: how do we know that climate is warming up, how do we know humans are causing it, and how do we know what’s going to happen next. Question 1 (5 Points) – The global climate dialog shifted in the 1970s from predictions of an impending ice age to that of global warming. In the 1950s and 1960s, science showed the threat of the next ice age at any point; harsh winter conditions in Britain were shared across the globe. However, the year 1976 broke all records; blazing heat, woodland fires, and droughts were common. Describe Keeling’s significance to the global climate change dialog and the impacts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Explain how Keeling’s discovery can explain the predictions of an impending ice age. Question 2 (5 Points) – List the three main claims of the Skeptics Movement. Give two examples supporting Reagan and Nierenberg’s claims that human ingenuity could overcome the gradual grip of climate change. Question 3 (5 Points) – Explain how each of the Skeptic Movement’s main claims (there are three) have been disproven by ‘ugly facts’.
