climate change homework

B Block:
We talked about the scientific basis for climate change as well as reviewing climate patterns.

This homework is due Wednesday for both classes.

Part 1: Watch the NASA video clip "Taking the Earth's Temperature."
(This clip can be slow to load, be patient!)

Part 2: Read the article "2007 Was Tied as Earth's Second-Warmest Year" from NASA GISS Research News.

Part 3: Find an article from the popular news media (USA Today, Boston Globe, etc..) that discusses an increase in global temperature. Write a paragraph comparing this article with the one from NASA's website. You may want to compare the scientific methods (if any) that are discussed, any contradictions etc...
