Sources group project

In-class Sources Group ProjectVERA. Addicting info, 7 Of The Dumbest Things Trump Has Ever Said To Disprove Global Warming. June 18, 1015. Nov 5, 2015.


"The Concept of global warming" Trump directly states here that he disbelieves in global warming, a global phenom that is warming up the planet due to the increase of greenhouse gases because of the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Scientists around the world all agree that this is happening and we need to find a way to stop it.
"Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years."
This quote from National Geographic's "What is Global Warming" article is talking about what global warming is, Trump believe this isn't happening and he apparently blames the Chinese for the "concept". But it is happening, the reason I chose this tweet is because there is a plethora of sources from scientists around the world talking about this subject. This research paper talks about global warming and the sources that go into the study of it. It is my belief that global warming is real, and I've come to this conclusion from the sources I've read/heard and from the changes I see around me, now it's just up to others to do the same.

This position does not appeal to me and I find it irritating because Trump does not support his claim with any facts, stats, or reasoning in his opinion. It is a non-supported claim which I find irritating.

The aforementioned articles regarding Lithium mines and their impact on the environment create an interesting discussion regarding our efforts to create a "greener" environment that we live in today.  The articles stress the impact that Lithium Ion Batteries have on the the planet and how much CO2 they truly emit.
