Annotated Bibliography Prompt: Researching a Contemporary Issue Could you write for me like 1 Post complete with four sources you found and add 1 sources (total 5 sources) Source #1: Chris Oxlade, Global Warming, Capstone, 2003 In this book, the author, Chris Oxlade, is very keen to address the contemporary issue, Global Warming, with a very exhaustive approach. The book seeks to explain the exact meaning global warming and what the green house effects are. In addition the author seeks to explain the means of measuring and evaluating global warming and the green house effects and further explains the causes of global warming and the way, together with greenhouse effects, is resulting to harmful changes in climate and temperature over the whole world. This book highlights storms, abnormal dry periods, food shortages, flooding and the continued destruction of habitats as the major signs of global warming and forecasts more peril for the planet if global warming is not quickly managed. The increase in global warming leads to the greenhouse effect which in turn makes the earth not to release the absorbed heat which consequently turns very harmful on the earth’s surface. The book simply defines global warming as an increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and is much as a result of gases produced when people burn charcoal, coal, oil and other forms of fossil fuels hence the gases trapping the heat from the sun in our atmosphere. The author mentions one of the gases that are much causing this effect as carbon dioxide. Further, this book provides remedies to global warming which includes reducing the amount of gases put into the atmosphere. Source #2: Bruce E. Johansen, Global Warming in the 21st Century, Praeger, May 2006, Web November 11, 2015. This book is critical mass of evidence that global warming is dramatically exerting negative influence and effects over air, land and sea temperatures with very disastrous effects on flora, fauna and the human nature. The author commences the book by laying down the basics of global warming. Candidly, Bruce discusses the science behind changes in climate and defines what exactly climate change is all about. To achieve this, he deepens his research by borrowing up different pieces of scientific research that have been made towards global warming. In addition, he tells much about the issues and global warming complexity mentioning the opinion of the public. In addition, Bruce talks about the weather and how global changing is causing significant changes in weather giving the change in hydrological cycle as one of the examples of weather changes. The book discusses the climatic change in the artic and mentions how the temperature rise owing to global warming constitutes the Antarctic ice melting. In addition, the book discusses the warming of the sea showing hoe sea level is rising and how it consequently affects marine life. Bruce also highlights the extinctions that might come as a result of global warming and discusses the effects of global warming to human health. However, the book culminates in giving solutions for the problem, classifying the solutions to global Source #3: Paul Stein, Global Warming: A threat to Our Future, The Rosen Publishing Group. The author in this book seeks to attack global warming through the teenagers. ‘Global Warming: A threat to Our Future’ is a science book that much explores the many ways in which global warming affects, influences and changes the daily weather, and consequently altering our climate in the long-term and gradually offers newchallenges to the way we live. The book identifies industrial activities as the main cause of runaway greenhouse effect and shows hoe global warming, a chief contributor to the greenhouse effect, will soon lead to uncontrollable temperatures which will pose a significant threat to life on earth. The book further discusses the greenhouse effect and how it significantly works towards raising the temperatures. Not only to human beings, the author is critical on the way global warming is gradually causing an imbalance on the ecosystem, affecting fauna and flora negatively, and how this imbalance will soon affect the human life. For instance he highlights global warming as the main cause of flooding due to rising sea levels and how this has affected the climate owing Antarctic melting courtesy of increased temperatures. The book much expounds on the possible threats that we may experience as a result of global warming. To wind up the book, the author talks about the possible remedies which can help deal with the possible threats that can be caused by global warming. Source #4: Joshua P. Howe, Behind the Curve: Science and the Politics of Global Warming, University of Washington Press, 2014. Why has it been so hard to find a long lasting solution for global warming? In this book, Behind the Curve, Joshua Howe seeks an answer to the above question. Howe explores the long history of global warming from the very origin as a scientific curiosity to its place at the center of international environmental politics. This book closely follows the history of rising carbon dioxide as illustrated by the Keeling Curve, through a number of historical contexts with a closer highlight on the relationships among environmentalists, politicians, and scientists over time. The author explains how the nature of global warming has privileged scientists and how carbon dioxide has gradually risen to constitute the increased rates of glob al warming. The book highlights that the increased global warming problem is not getting any better with time and how it will soon reach an uncontrollable point. the book offers a very critical and levelheaded insight at how the earth has got to this point and menace of global warming. The book further shows the causes of globalwarming and how it has been a challenge stopping it owing to political and economicchallenges. The book culminates by giving suggestions on how we can deal with climatic change. SOURCE #5: Mark Maslin, Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and the Future, Voyageur Press, 2007. The planet earth is warming at the fastest rate ever with global warming showing up as the greatest threat that humanity may ever face. Maslin seeks to ultimately explain global warming and provide undeniable evidence that global warming is real and happening. This book seeks to examine out the impacts of climate change as a result of global warming on health, agriculture, coastal regions, water resources, wildlife and forests. The author also seeks to see the future through the eyes of global warming highlighting how hard it has been counteracting the problem. the book appreciates the efforts in place to counteract the growing effects of glob al warming and how if adapted, we can change the problem for a better earth to live in. this book is resourceful for it discusses the global warming problem from the causes, the effects of it, and predicts the future with the current rates of global warming. However, the book also gives remedies on how to deal with the problem such that the effects will not persist, and if they do, they will be menageable **** THIS IS ASSIGNMENT **** Essay #3: Research-Based Position Paper Assignment Overview Students will write a well-developed research paper on the contemporary issue that they have identified in their Proposal of Research and Annotated Bibliography.
