Module 2 Discussion 1: Arguments-Climate Change No unread replies.No replies. download Discussion #1 Module 3 Directions: Watch the below videos and write a deductive or inductive argument on climate change. Study all Seven Forms of deductive arguments introduced in you Lecture as well as the inductive types. Try to make a clear and succinct argument rather than a lengthy essay. You must reply to one other class mate. I will help if needed in the discussion. A deductive argument is a kind of argument where the arguer intends to be deductively true, that is, to present a valid conclusion provided that the argument’s premises are true. In other words, when one makes a deductive argument, the premises must strongly support the conclusion. With this in mind, it would be impossible for the conclusion to be invalid. Thus, when the premises of the argument successfully back the conclusion, it is called a deductively valid argument. Here is an example of a valid deductive argument: Premise: All greenhouse gases contribute to climate change. Premise: Carbon dioxide and Nitrous oxide are greenhouse gases. Conclusion: Therefore, Carbon dioxide and Nitrous oxide exacerbate climate change. The conclusion follows the word “therefore.” Hence, the two premises in this argument: (1) all greenhouse gases contribute to climate change & (2) Carbon dioxide and Nitrous oxide are greenhouse gases are valid since it is based on facts and well-founded. Therefore, one can guarantee that the conclusion of this argument is valid, making it a sound or a valid deductive argument. Watch these videos and read articles below for food for thought.
