“Global Warming Fast Facts.” National Geographic News. 2007. 26 Sep. 2009. .
This article from National Geographic News outlines the causes and effects of global warming. Statistics concerning the issue of global warming are included as well. The article explains that humans are in fact the cause of global warming, and that we must take action to prevent it. The article explains what global warming is; it describes how the greenhouse gases created by humans are causing the overall temperature of the earth to rise. It is stated that many areas of our planet are being affected from our pollution: from the glaciers and poles, to the coral reefs in the oceans. The article then goes on to explain that global warming is having an impact on our planet; unusual weather events such as extreme droughts and large, powerful hurricanes are becoming more frequent. It also states that some species of animals with become extinct, and explains that low lying areas of land will eventually be submerged if we continue to ignore global warming.
Although a specific author is not listed, National Geographic seems to be a reputable source. This is evident in the fact that the statistics shown in the article have been obtained from various government organizations such as the UN Panel for Climate Change.
I will be able to use this source in my paper, as it seems to be a reliable source and includes many useful statistics to back up my argument that we must utilize new methods of sustainable architecture to reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide. The statistics are stated simply, so this will be an ideal source of statistics for my paper.
