Discussion:
Review the NASA video Temperature Puzzle.
Many people are quick to dismiss global warming after a cold winter or a late summer. After watching the video, how would you respond to this person? Why is it difficult to base climate on a single season's weather? Use data and examples to support your answer.
(Note: please base your discussion on what you have learned from the video and textbook reading. This is NOT meant to be a discussion of political ideology.)
In your response to another student, critique their discussion. What would you add to what they presented? Discuss both strengths and weaknesses (if any).
