            <\/span><\/span>In this assignment  <\/span><\/span>you will be investigating the science of climate change to determine whether scientists are exaggerating the urgency of wide-scale solutions and what changes should be made to correct the direction our planet is headed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TOPICS for Project #3: Climate Change\/Global Warming<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

1.Write an argument supporting what you believe  <\/span><\/span>to be the most effective means of fighting <\/span>  <\/span>and reversing climate change\u2019s negative effects?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>2.Write an argument in which you take a clear position on whether or not the science surrounding climate change is a hoax. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

3.What do you think are the leading causes of global climate change?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>4. Where do you see  <\/span><\/span>the most catastrophic effects of climate change:  <\/span><\/span>on human life? On the oceans? On animal life?  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>5. The *REDD partnership between Norway and Indonesia is an outcome of the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions resulting from deforestation. Research this partnership and then write an argument on whether or not <\/span>protecting our forests should be a priority in the fight against climate change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/span><\/span>*<\/span>REDD+<\/span><\/strong> stands for countries’ efforts to  <\/span>r<\/span><\/strong>educe <\/span>e<\/span><\/strong>missions from <\/span>d<\/span><\/strong>eforestation and forest <\/span>d<\/span><\/strong>egradation, <\/span>   <\/span>and foster conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>6. Would a Progressive Carbon Tax (on all carbon emissions, including cars, trucks, etc.) effectively prevent climate change. NOTE::You will need to research what the Progressive Carbon Tax is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 4 \u2013 Independent Research:  <\/span><\/span>3-5 Credible, PRINT Sources Required<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
