About 100 - 125 words.
In trying to balance the pros and cons on the respective sides of this issue, provide one scientific statement and/or argument for your position and then provide one countering statement or argument from the other side. Provide discussion for both positions. Please make sure that you include where you obtained your resource material.
Example:
On one side Al Gore tells us that "a new scientific study shows that, for the first time, polar bears have been drowning in significant numbers." Yet, from another point of view, we learn that research published in 2001 by the Polar Bear Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union that of the twenty distinct sub-populations of polar bears, one or possibly two were declining in Baffin Bay while more than half of the subpopulations were known to be stable. In addition, there were two subpopulations that were actually increasing around the Beaufort Sea. (These would be your two opposing viewpoints and from here, you would continue your discussion of the two issues).
