Now that you have viewed some videos, collected some information from the internet and read you book, use these sources and others that you find to write a short paper to explain the "scientific" basis for EACH side of the debate.

REMEMBER: I'm not asking your opinion on the topic. I want you to give me the scientific evidence that supports the theory that human activities have caused global warming. On the flip side, I want you to give me the scientific evidence that refutes man's influence on the current climate change. There's no question that the Earth is in a warming trend - the question is man's role in it.
