    I moved to Yuba City, California approximately twelve years ago and have lived there ever since. I chose to analyze the climate trends of Yuba City because, even though I may move away soon after graduating college, it is where my parents will continue to live and I would like to have an idea of future climate changes in their city.

    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…

    In a 2016 article entitled “Changing Climate” the author Thomas Sumner discusses a variety of topics that revolve around how humans have impacted the Earth’s climate. “Changing Climate” examines climate change research, ocean circulation, hurricane research, and geology and climate. This article uses past and present research to validate the importance of these issues to create a well written exploration of human’s effect on the climate. Despite the fact that there is not a lot of data about what Earth’s environment was like before the early 1900’s, Sumner makes a compelling argument about how humans have had a negative influence on their surroundings. Sumner looked at several aspects of climate change and how it affects the world and…
