Page The
global warming controversy primarily concerns what percentage the
20th century increase in surface temperature is attributable to greenhouse
gases and what steps, if any, society should take in response, and whether
it is in a country's economic interest to take action to reduce emissions
of greenhouse gases. There is a strong consensus among scientists that
most recent warming is caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse
gases and that warming will continue with serious consequences if
emissions continue. A few scientists disagree, most commonly asserting
that, although warming is occurring, its cause is either natural or
human. You
will have to adopt a role and investigate which causes (either human or
natural) are the main consequences of global warming. Besides, you have to
discover how humankind can reduce its effects on sea-life and on earth.
Take into account how far
governements are concerned with this problem and if they carry out
some kind of policy to deal with it. Each
member of the group must share the information related to their own
search. The required task consist of designing some leaflets to promote a
general selfawareness among the population and find out some possible
solutions. ROLES 1.- A
marine biologist. This student has to
do research about the changes that are taking place in the sea and affects
sea life. 2.- A
geologist. This student has to
focus on the effects over the earth surface. 3.- A
Greenpeace representative. This student will
concentrate on human behaviours that provoke global warming and how we can
avoid them. Learners are
supposed to browse different internet web sites and answer the
questions they will be provided with. Search in the
following ones: 1. Build
background knowledge about global warming and current policies by using
the sites listed previously. 2. After
looking at the general issues of global warming, discuss with your group
what you have found. 3. Be
sure to read information from other partners so you can get to a general
consensus to perform the final task. 4. After
determining what key points you would like to make your team will design a
leaflet. This pamphlet will
contain any facts, ideas, or views you think are important to the global
warming prevention.
In the end, thanks
to your research, you have contributed to an increase on people’s concerns
about the problems of global warming. How is it possible
to face and act against this general trouble? -www.sourcewatch.org -www.politicaldogs.org/news/globalwarming.gif -www.wikipedia.com Last
