The author details the lifetime carbon footprint of common combustion vehicles and compares them to the carbon footprint of popular electric cars, Teslas. In the analysis, the author reveals how many miles one has to drive in an electric car in order for the electric car to have a smaller carbon footprint than the gas one. His work seems thorough, but he does not list the sources where he got his starting numbers, and he had to have used averages because its hard to quantify the carbon footprint of a single car when they are usually mass produced in groups.

It seems like the source is more of a data list rather than a traditional article, most likely used for technicians in the industry and offers plain data to compare rather than an explanation of what the data would mean for a consumer. If comparing the carbon footprint of the two vehicles I found it interesting that the article left out the carbon emissions generated by lithium mining that the Tesla batteries are using. Did you feel as though the source was thorough with their sourcing and research or that it was lacking in providing evidence for the data presented?

The intent of the author of this post was to dispel the myth that CO2 limits will harm the economy. The author begins by explaining what this is and then by reference the legislation that proposes limitation of carbon. Then the author explains all of the projected effects of such an action or inaction for comparison. In the conclusion of the article, the author states that reducing the carbon output would be less impactful that letting things run their course.

The article talks about how climate change is affecting the biodiversity all over the planet. It also explains that the oceans carbon dioxide is increasing due to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Their is also an increase of the ocean that is uninhabitable to marine life.

This is a good article because it talks about how climate change is causing so many issues in our ecosystem and the oceans.

In 1998 the individual soda intake was at its highest, averaging a surprising 56.1 gallons. Six years later in 2004, carbonated soft drinks had a 7 percent decline in individual consumption. In addition, replacing regular soda with diet soda helped decrease the intake of caloric beverages an impressive 12 percent. Health problems like obesity and being overweight result from the lack of nutrients in these beverages. The widespread issues are due to high rise consumption rates of these carbonated soft drinks. Liquid candy is statistically proven to be a prime factor for excessive weight increase. A problem for our population following the increase is the Type 2 diabetes. These health issues can lead to long term illnesses and sometimes life threatening diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

Climate change is an ongoing problem that needs to be handled. Soon it will be bigger than us. Climate change effects all countries, some worse than others. Everyone needs to participate in a zero carbon economy immediately.

This article discusses the underlying issues of climate change. With a new report showing that the temperatures are looking to raise if the world does not come together to come up with a new plan to decrease the amounts of carbon dioxide being produced into the air. The article reports that all efforts to stop the rise is needed by everyone otherwise, the world is going to see worse droughts, fires, heat waves, etc.

Our progress with climate change risk being overturned. A lot of people including our president don't believe in the science of global warming.

Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions?

http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?

An article explaining the human footprint and its effect on the great barrier reefs in Australia. It alooks provides a few simple solutions to help aid the problem at large.

Climate Change is a huge issue and really needs to be resolved. We're fighting for the policies and we need to realize the impacts and be more sustainable, corporate, and save the planet. We only have one.

I agree that climate change is a severe issue in today's world. Methods on reduction of contamination such as carbon dioxide and methane being released into our environment need to be enforced since pollutants like these play a huge factor in climate change.

Human activity, especially greenhouse gas emissions, is considered the dominant cause of temperature increases.

Nasa's website contains facts, articles, solutions and resources regarding climate change. The website displays current information on the front page as well as breaking news headlines regarding climate change.

The graphics in this article made it interesting and informative. The statistics on the increase in carbon dioxide levels since 1950 is astonishing. Discussions on global warming causes and remediation are necessary.

In this article, the author explains the causes, effects and solutions to climate change in an interactive way. The website takes you to different diagrams so that you get a better understanding of the evidence.
