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?

This article details the steps we can take to helping control climate change through what we eat. This article follows a study that explains how much land is needed to offset the growing concerns of climate change. The research gathered explains that vegetation is being overwhelmed with the amount of animals being kept for food.

This article summarizes the effect the meat, egg and dairy industry has on the emission of greenhouse gases. Everything that goes into these industries like feeding and watering cattle, killing them, the manure, and the deforestation involved in expanding the industry is slowly destroying the environment. Throughout the article it proves how vegans and vegetarians significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

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?

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.
