    This change in the ocean caused multiple species to go extinct, and as humans, we tend to alter the ocean as well; this is used to represent how our alterations to the ocean can affect oceanic species. Chapter six further develops on carbon dioxide levels can harm species. Human activity has caused carbon dioxide levels to shoot up and marine life is dying because of it.

    Through this book, we realize that climate has the ability to transform and or destroy human societies. The causing of the Medieval Warm Period is still unclear, however, the author is able to draw one clear conclusion from his research in the final chapters of The Great Warming, on the present day propositions of the great climate change over a thousand years ago. “History is always around us, threatening, offering encouragement, sometimes showing us precedents. The warm centuries of a thousand years ago remind us that we have never been masters of the natural world; at our best, we have accommodated ourselves to its fickle realities” (242). I think that The Great Warming was written very clearly and a surprisingly interesting read.…

Many even travel throughout the colder months to places that experience summer virtually all year long. But at what point does something so wonderful become dangerous? With the temperature at such a prime point for an extended period of time, catastrophic events will begin to occur.…

    Mark Bittman, author of the article “The Aliens Have Landed” published on the New York Times April 2, 2014 issue, argues that we need to take action to stop climate change. Bittman begins to support his argument by comparing our ignorant behavior towards climate change to the “retreating French” during World War II. He then informs the recent news from the Panel on Climate Change to emphasize the negative effects, and sarcastically compares them to aliens invading Earth. He next proposes a public works project and provides several examples of what can be done to start addressing climate change before it is too late. The author’s purpose is to…

    Being environmentally conscious has been the focus of many people for several years, and by judging how much the media has begun to cover such a topic, it will be the concern of more and more people as time passes. Since this planet is the only one we have to live on so far, we need to take care of it the best we possibly can before it’s too late to fix our mistakes. To start, each person will need to see the reason behind taking care of our planet, which is that global warming is a legitimate issue, and every single person on the planet can either make a positive or negative impact on it. Each of the essays I evaluated spoke of different issues regarding or touching on global warming that I had not previously thought too much about, and effectively…

    Joseph F. C. DiMento and Pamela Doughman’s introduction to “Making Climate Change Understandable” presents an argument for climate change that denies frequent deliberate intervention with the climate by the human population but rather supports the accidental change in climate. The authors also claim that because climate change is so difficult to understand, people do not recognize it as a grave issue. Early in the text, DiMento and Doughman clearly state the purpose of the article as follows, to “explore changes in climate…address how the changes affect us…and explain what is being done to manage the changes” (DiMento 1). Although, they seem to struggle refuting arguments made by their opponents and use vague words throughout the text, the authors utilize evidence, argumentation and writing tactics to ultimately communicate their ideas.…

    Thank you Dimitri, Ben, Viktoriia, and Vladimir for your thoughtful take on whether or not the media should have a responsibility to cover climate change related issues and if they adequately raise awareness and concern among the population. Your points of unquantifiable predictions, using an alternative organization for reporting purposes, and educating the people in power not the masses are very valid arguments for reporting climate change differently. However as a team we still feel that mass media has the most power to convince the public that change is necessary; since it is an extensive issue that affects all, they can reach the largest audience, and that in democratic states the masses can persuade their leaders to commit to change.…
