Annotated Bibliography: Global Warming
“Antarctic Warming: Hot Air.” New Scientist 190.2546 (2006): 7. Popular Magazines. Web. 28 Jan. 2011.
In the article “Antarctic Warming: Hot Air,” published in New Scientist, the author presents data about the amount of warming that occurred in the Troposphere over the last 30 years in Earth’s atmosphere. While the author is not specified, New Scientist is a reputable source for scientific news. This article uses research from 2006 conducted by the British Antarctic Survey. The data is helpful for providing background information on the global warming debate, focusing on the atmosphere’s temperature rather than the surface.
Avery, Dennis T. “Global Warming is Caused by a Climate Cycle, Not Greenhouse Gases.” Hudson Institute (14 Sept. 2004): 4. In Greenhouse Gases, edited by Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., 1-5. Detroit: Greenhaven Press, 2009. Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 28 Jan. 2011.
Dennis Avery argues in “Earth’s Climate Cycle is Unstoppable” that global warming is caused by natural climate cycles that repeat approximately every 1500 years. He cites articles and books by leading climatology researchers to support this claim. Avery’s background includes working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, directing the Center for Global Food Issues, and analyzing data for the U.S. Department of State. This article provides an opposing view to the human-induced global warming perspective.
Johnson, Bruce. “Global Warming Science: The Basics.” Global Warming 101. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 2008. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 25 Jan. 2011.
In “Global Warming Science: The Basics,” Bruce Johansen presents a comprehensive, unbiased explanation of the science behind global warming, including factors influencing climate. Johansen, a professor at the University of Nebraska, specializes in communication and Native American studies. This source offers information on the causes and history of global warming.
Spencer, Roy. “Human-Produced Carbon Dioxide Does Not Contribute Significantly to Global Warming.” In Global Warming, edited by Cynthia A. Bily, 1-5. Detroit: Greenhaven Press, 2010. Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 25 Jan. 2011.
Roy Spencer’s “More Carbon Dioxide Please: Raising a Scientific Question” discusses whether human-produced carbon dioxide significantly contributes to global warming. He uses research by respected scientists, researchers in climatology, and astronomers to dispute the significance of human-caused factors in global warming. Dr. Roy Spencer, who holds a Ph.D. in meteorology, was a Senior Scientist for Climate Study at NASA. This article provides a perspective on the limited impact of CO2 and the positive effects it may have, representing an opposing viewpoint.
