    I did not know how bad climate change was in Arizona, that is so sad to hear. Very eye opening, I'm glad the site discussed the repercussions that could follow. This site does a good job expressing the urgency of the change that needs to happen to fight the detrimental effects of climate change.
  •  
    This is unfortunate news for us who live in Arizona. I took a look at the site and read in further detail about how much of these things, that are in our daily lives, taken for granted. Spreading the message about this urgent issue is crucial for any type of substantial change to occur. I appreciate this site providing in depth analysis about the issue at hand. Hopefully more people will take this social issue more serious and help make a positive advancement to the cause.

    The climate costs is already a strain on Arizonans, the heat is very much devastating, and nobody wants to stay outside in the sun for too long. The website expresses the message that there needs to be something done to resist and fight back against climate change.
  •  
    The tone of the article is urgent and presents a fear in the reader by the emboldening of death tolls and seems to be biased. It does come from an organization based on environmental change, however the article does not instruct or offer resources to enact change for the better. Was the point of the article to inform readers with the intention of causing fear or was it to get the reader to look further into their organization.

Warming Seas Are Accelerating Greenland's Glacier Retreat - 1 views

    Climate change is a pressing matter that many individuals downplay the severity of. Greenland's melting glaciers are having a major impact on the rise of sea level that is plaguing the Earth. Understanding why they are melting, will help prepare for the rise in sea level.

    I agree that many people downplay the severity of environmental matters like this one. Something has to be done about climate change immediately.
  •  
    I agree with this article and how it shows humanity has been messing up the ice sheets for awhile now. Also very interesting to learn that the ice sheet could recover itself in a short time but we continue to "warm" the water.
  •  
    Not just Greenland, though Greenland is certainly the most apparent in proximity to Earth. While yes, humanity is rushing the process, the Earth naturally goes through the heating and cooling patterns that cause the ocean to rise and fall and glaciers to retreat and refreeze.

    It's crazy how this isn't a bigger issue in today's world. Hurricanes are getting stronger, heat waves everywhere, but everything is fine.
  •  
    The greenhouse effect refers to the way the Earth's atmosphere traps and absorbs solar energy
  •  
    More people need to show attention to these issues and start caring before the world goes into a state that we can't turn back from or fix.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.
  •  
    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.
  •  
    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.
