The potential causes of global warming will be discussed. Also, global warming will be described from the standpoint of what types of problems it is likely to cause.
All sources of pre-historical evidence will be accurately summarized and interpreted: ice core data from Antarctica and Greenland, sedimentation data from remote arctic lakes, tree ring data, coral reef data and pre-historical written accounts that describe climate-related phenomena.
Data from the past 100 years will be described with a particular emphasis on global temperature data and carbon dioxide levels.
You will either support or refute the idea that global warming is occurring and that global warming is going to lead to catastrophic problems for a significant portion of the world. EACH group member must submit separate, INDIVIDUAL conclusions (not copies of the same conclusion.)
You will present your position/argument to your instructor and your classmates using effective presentation skills.
Whatever your argument, you will cite appropriate supporting data from your sources. Any information taken from any source material needs to be properly cited (MLA format) and included in your bibliography.
