Climate Change

The idea of climate change is hotly contested for numerous reasons such as humans role in the actual causing climate change. The debate then can further expand to what is the role that humans play when they interact with nature. What is the proper role for humans is it to exploit the resources that the world gives us or is it to be stewards of the world protecting it and preserving it for the future. With a framework with that in mind there must be a determination of what values we have and what we place emphasis on. This conflict is manifested in the debate that there must be a choice between economic growth and the environment. In people who deny climate change they see environmental action as a limit on economic activity. Climate change deniers believe that this naturally occurring and we have nothing to worry about.

Each website should be taken with a grain of salt because both are designed to further their own beliefs. Neither website will produce data that is in contraction to their stated claims because that will undermine their argument. The websites do not offer much debate but rather an attack on the other to show that their side is right. The scientific data was chosen in order to confirm their already held beliefs but the how to talk to a climate skeptic did seem to have more data.

The how to talk to climate skeptic was more convincing because they refuted the claims better than their counterparts at friends of science did. I did take in my own bias towards believing climate change which I feel is true and not a myth. The how to talk website had more data in which they employ while the friends of science website had more talking points to oppose climate change. Both websites are biased towards their own position but I feel that how to talk to a climate skeptic stated their case better.
