There is so much public and political debate on the topic of global warming- whether it is occurring, how much has occurred, what are its causes, what its effects will be, whether any action should be taken to curb it, and if so what that action should be. Although there are multiple lines of scientific evidence which show that the climate system is warming, it seems the more media attention this topic receives the more polarized our nation becomes. I decided to conduct an in depth analysis on Climate change and its potential associations. I am hoping that this project will also provide the necessary and correct analysis so that individuals can make more rational decisions, take actionable steps and also inform/educate others.
While conducting research, although my data sources are not complete I have been reviewing several websites including https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ and https://www.epa.gov/
