Entry #8

I think climate change is a combination of both anthropogenic (manmade) and natural. I would say 30 percent is manmade and 70 percent is natural. I would consider scientist to be reputable sources for climate change information. Some reliable sources for climate change information are IPPC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), WMO (United Nations World Meteorological Organization), UKCIP (UK Climate Impacts Programme), US Global Change Research Programme, Environment Canada, Ensembles (EU climate modeling project), CSIRO (Australian climate scenarios), The Royal Society, Spencer Weart's Discovery of Global Warming. The media portrays climate change as a point of no return and that the next generation is doomed. I wouldn't say the media's portrayal of climate change alters my lifestyle. I don't believe everything I hear from the media. The effects of climate change on my children and grandchildren will be the thinning of the ozone layer, which will penetrate more UV rays.
