Using your own knowledge and the NASA website (and any other website though please cite them) write a 1 page reflection on this article.

Make sure to let me know how you feel about this - (IE is this valid? Is it something we need to be concerned about?) and back up your opinions.

1. For this assignment I would like you to look at NASA's climate website (the reason I picked this site is two-fold. First they are a well respected vetted scientific source.

Second, if you Google "Climate Change" you will get 105,000,000 results, MANY of which are VERY biased. I want you to have an objective place to start) - I will direct you to some specific pages within the site but PLEASE look around and research more.

Start here - http://climate.nasa.gov/resources/global-warming/

1. Why do I keep calling it "Global Climate Change" vs. "Global Warming"? What is the difference between the two?

Next go here: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

2. Pick two example of evidence cited by NASA for climate change. What are they? Please be specific and cite the evidence.....

Next go here: http://climate.nasa.gov/causes/

3. What effect does the Sun seem to have on climate change?

4. What effect do humans seem to have on climate change?

Last go here: http://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resource_center/interactives

Pick two of the interactives and PLAY with them

5. Which two interactives did you pick AND what did you learn or notice for each of them?
