This is the homework assignment (basically kind of like a take home quiz) that will be due next Tuesday. It is based on the subject of the two documentaries we saw in class - the first one last week and the second one today which you can watch again in its entirety at: https://archive.org/details/ClimateHustle. Please bring the assignment typed (for legibility) and answer all the questions in any format you feel comfortable with (i.e. single word answers or short sentences or paragraphs are okay). Plagiarized papers will not be accepted so don't copy your classmate's answers or online blurbs (it's not hard to tell when that happens). 1. Were the 2 videos in agreement with each other? Please elaborate (i.e. were there any differences)? 2. Was there any agenda in either one or both films, if so please explain? 3. Global warming aka Climate Change as is popularly referenced in contemporary discussion today is basically based on one variable. What is that variable and how did each film approach it? Please give supporting examples. 4. Is it possible to tell, using scientific methods or historical accounts (or both) whether changes in climate are due to "human causes" (Anthroprogenic) or as a result of "natural variations"? 5. What do you feel most people that are asked the question of whether climate change is due to "natural cycles" or ''human causes" will respond? Why? 6. In today's video was there disagreement between scientists regarding climate change? 7. Are all viewpoints treated evenly in this debate? Give specific examples from the videos to justify your answer. 8. The following is a look at historical anthropological as well as climatological temperature data, with research from the 1930s revealing some important findings about Greenland's climate within the last roughly 1000 years: that was published by NASA in 1981 going back 1000 years: and then reported by IPCC in 1990 In 2006 a professor from the University of Oklahoma (where I got my undergraduate degree) testified in D.C. about his personal experience following his research and publication: Finally, the more recent temperature record released to the public is seen from 2001 and on: Are there any differences between the earlier articles, graphs and charts and the most recent version? Are they important? 9. Two of the atmospheric scientists (who are climatologists/ meteorologists/professors) that were even featured in today's film recently went through this: Was there any mention of similar occurrences in the film(s)? 10. The topic of climate change is extremely broad and it is extremely difficult to give adequate attention to it in a couple of weeks. I have taught a whole upper-division course (entire term) at a local university just on this topic as the class was called "Global Climate Change in the Developing World". I welcome any additional comments/suggestions/observations/ critiques and encourage all opinions happily. Feel free to include any additional remarks here.

1. Were the 2 videos in agreement with each other? Please elaborate (i.e. were there any
differences)?
No, the two video are not in agreement with each other. For instance one of the
video focuses on the existence of the planets where they believe that all the planets
were on one place while the other video focuses on the major factors contributing to
environmental changes and what are the major factors behind the changes in
environment.
2. Was there any agenda in either one or both films, if s...
