Clinton, Obama, Offer Big Plans On Global Warming
Summary- This article talks about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and what they say they plan to do about climate change. They both are on the same page with a few things about it. They both have their own detailed plan. Clinton wants to do something called Carbon Neutral Mortgage Association which is meant to make it easier to get loans for efficient energy in homes. Obama supports a National Low Carbon Fuel Standard which would require less carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent.
Response- I think that both of these are good ideas and that we should go through with both of them if we can afford it.
Summary- This article is a long list of dates from the 1800s to the current year. It shows different information about how the climate has been changing over the years. On this timeline it does not have a comment for every year, just whenever there is something worth recording. It’s a good way to see how global warming has affected the earth.
Response- I think it is suprising how much global warming actually has affected the earth.

Great, Alec! These look really good. The next think you want to do is figure out what to DO with this information–which segment would it be useful for? With whom can you share this information? Does it “prove” anything, one way or the other?

Alec–
I’m so proud of you–the summaries are excellent (and interesting articles as well–thanks for sharing).
Now work on your response–you’ve done fine with the personal response part, but now you need to think about how you are going to use this information. Will any of it fit in with your segment? What about other groups’ segments? Think about what you could pair it with.
Keep up the great work!
