EES 1002 – Introduction to Environmental Science

Homework #1

Assignment (10 points): Climate Change in the Media

Climate change is now widely recognized as one of the major problems facing the globe. In order to counter this problem, scientists and researchers have come out with many possible solutions. Find an article that discusses either a scientific aspect of climate change (ex: sea level rise, ocean acidification) or a solution being proposed to combat climate change (ex: new vehicle emission standards, cap and trade laws).

The article can be obtained from a scientific publication (ex: Science, Nature, Geology), a science magazine (ex: Scientific American, Discover), or a newspaper (ex: New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Times-Picayune). You will have free access to many of these sources through university computers. Wikipedia and blogs are not legitimate sources. Write a 2-3 paragraph, typed summary of your article.

A copy of your article must be turned in with your summary or credit will not be given.
