Global Impact of Global Warming
Credible Source (A): How Will Climate Change Affect the United States in Decades to Come?
Bad Source (B): Climate change will affect more than the weather
Who?
1.
Source A: Donald Wuebbles is name of the author who wrote this Article. He is a employer at the Office of Science and technology Policy at Washington DC. This report was prepared by him at the National Science Foundation in Arlington
Source B: Arek Sinanian is the author of this article published at fairobserver. He has extensive experience in resource efficiency. He is a member of UNFCCC and aviced new policies in Kyoto Protocol. He has experience of 30 years.
2.
Both the authors of both resources seem to have stated clear scientific information that can be verified from the other online research facts and figures. Both are also credible and experienced in their fields of environmental science and their policies. Both have been associated with the well reputed environmental organizations.
What?
1.
Source A: take-home message of this resource is that choice made today of minimizing the greenhouse gasses will impact the future positively otherwise temperatures will rise beyond 2 degrees by the end of centaury.
Source B: Most important take home message was author’s call for collective global action against the global warming to combat its effects and dangers ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"rgzl4nwB","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}With Climate Change Comes Extreme Weather\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“With Climate Change Comes Extreme Weather”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1317,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/JW7EP488"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/JW7EP488"],"itemData":{"id":1317,"type":"webpage","title":"With Climate Change Comes Extreme Weather","container-title":"Fair Observer","abstract":"The question to consider is how global warming and climate change are affecting the weather around the world.","URL":"https://www.fairobserver.com/more/global_change/climate-change-extreme-weather-hottest-february-record-environment-news-18711/","language":"en-US","issued":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,5]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,6]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“With Climate Change Comes Extreme Weather”).
2.
Primary Source A, gives clear evidence of all the arguments presented in the article. It provides information taken from the USGCPR and NOAA. This means that all the information can be verified from the credible resources.
When?
1.
Source A was created in 2017.
Source B was created on March 5, 2019.
2.
Is it reporting events/observations from a long time ago or from just recently?
Both sources contain information that is collected from climate patterns observed in last few decades. Old information along with the new facts have become the basis of these resources.
Why?
1.
Both sources are intended to create awareness among the general public and world leaders, so that they can use these facts to understand the climate change and take measures to combat it. So information from source A can be used as secondary evidence by the scientists in their researches.
2.
Source A: In this report, effects of global warming in the form of heat waves, forest fires and drought are mentioned. In the “A Fate Dependent on Emissions”, call for action is given, that shows that its intention is to create awareness and get attention from global leaders to take actions against the issue ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"KzENiEqN","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}How Will Climate Change Affect the United States in Decades to Come?\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“How Will Climate Change Affect the United States in Decades to Come?”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1314,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/4887JUMY"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/4887JUMY"],"itemData":{"id":1314,"type":"webpage","title":"How Will Climate Change Affect the United States in Decades to Come?","container-title":"Eos","abstract":"A new U.S. government report shows that climate is changing and that human activities will lead to many more changes.

Source B: This article has compared the increased in the different regions of the world and states that human activity has reached five sigma levels and raises the questions that what we humans are going to do about the information regarding the dangers of climate changes. This shows that intended purpose is to create awareness.

Given this uncertainty, when asked about climate change, it is likely that people’s judgments may be affected by heuristics and accessible schemas. Three studies evaluated this proposition. Study 1 revealed a significant positive correlation between the outdoor temperature and beliefs in global warming. Study 2 showed that people were more likely to believe in global warming when they had first been primed with heat-related cognitions. Study 3 demonstrated that people were more likely to believe in global warming and more willing to pay to reduce global warming when they had first been exposed to a high vs. a low anchor for future increases in temperature. Together, results reveal that beliefs about global warming (and willingness to take actions to reduce global warming) are influenced by heuristics and accessible schemas. Several practical implications are discussed.","DOI":"10.1016/j.jenvp.2010.03.004","ISSN":"0272-4944","journalAbbreviation":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","author":[{"family":"Joireman","given":"Jeff"},{"family":"Barnes Truelove","given":"Heather"},{"family":"Duell","given":"Blythe"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2010",12,1]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Joireman et al.)
