I read three articles about global warming and the different causes of it. The first article I read was about how global warming will affect rivers. This website states; “the impact of global warming will hit rivers and river communities first and worst.” They predict it will hit the rivers in a form of increased droughts, floods, and waterborne diseases. The second article I read was about the causes of global warming. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) first learned that there are several greenhouse gases that are contributing to the warming, and that most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, electricity production, and factories. The gas that is most responsible for warming in Carbon Dioxide. Finally, the third article I read was about the “greenhouse effect” which is warming that result when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth towards space.
I personally felt like all of these articles were well written, but the first article I read definitely could have had more information. I felt like it was poorly written and I don’t know if I completely trust the information that was given to me, so that is the only one I felt was not very reliable. On the other-hand the last two articles I read were very interesting and had a good amount of information, I felt as if I could rely on those completely.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that the articles were inaccurate, but going back to the first article I read, I would recommend that they authors of the articles, or website, add more factual information than opinion, I felt like that article was more opinionated rather than true facts.
All three articles were very interesting. I learned what the greenhouse effect was, I mean I have heard of it before, but now I actually know what it is and how it impacts the Earth and the atmosphere. That was pretty interesting.
After reading these articles I want to research more about global warming and try to find things that I could do to try to be more eco-friendly. Although I am just one person among many, my choice to do more eco-friendly things will make me feel better knowing that I am not contributing to global warming as much as the people around me.
