  1. Use the LibGuide for this course to locate and use scholarly sources. You may use journal articles from the library’s databases and books.  You may use reference sources such as Access Science. Do not use AI or ChapGPT for research as it may give you the wrong information and does not provide correct citations to cite your sources correctly. Carefully evaluate internet sources.  The LibGuide for your course may help provide guidance, but if you aren’t sure if you should trust a certain webpage or website, contact your course professor or librarian.  

  1. Some articles and books will present overwhelming evidence of the human contribution to Global Warming. In contrast, others will present a contrary view: either it doesn't exist, or it is a natural cycle that isn't affected by the anthropogenic contributions of greenhouse gases. You must cite your sources and provide evidence to support your position on the topic.
