Climate Science Research

I started out my climate science research by going to google and typing in the words, "climate science." I also typed in phrases such as, "climate patterns" and "the science behind climate change." I found lots of good and reliable sources. So, I started looking at them and taking notes. So far I have looked at three websites: Nature, Scientific American, and the Committee on Climate Change. It is so interesting to see how many different perspectives there are when it comes to the issue of climate change. I always thought that science was definite and that there was one right answer, but this proves that there is not one right answer. There are so many reasons that scientists believe are contributing to climate change. As I continue my research, I plan to keep all of my information organized. I also want to be able to see if I can find any trends with all of the research that I find.

The Scientific American website claims that "Scientists are more confident than ever that humans have interfered with the climate and that further human-induced climate change is on the way." The Nature website says that real reason behind climate change is because of the greenhouse gas effect. They also claim that it is not possible to predict long term impacts. The Committee on Climate Change thinks that there is some sort of unidentified heat source in the climate system that is building up. This little bit of research proves that there are so many different hypotheses for what the real reason behind climate change is.
