3B Climate Change by Jeannie Lanio https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk Choose the MOST believable and the LEAST believable organization and explain your thinking. en-us 2017-09-15 12:07:41 UTC 2017-09-16 16:49:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Sherree Clark-Metcalf https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187989003 I think the most believable organization is the Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. They want to not only protect natural resources but also inform and educate the society about global warming.  I think the least believable organization is the Heritage Foundation because they're not informed and driven towards politics. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187989003 Alyssa Glastonbury https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187992146 I think the most believable out of all of the organizations would be the National Academy of Sciences because they are non-profit and they are committed to science and technology. I think that the least believable organization of them all would be the Union of Concerned Scientists because they don't seem to know much and they seem money-driven because they ask for donations of up to $1000 or more.]]> 2017-09-15 15:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187992146 Matt Wood https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187992175 The most trustworthy organization is the Department of Natural Resources because they are a government organization, which is funded through tax dollars, free from outside political influence. The least trustworthy organization is the Heritage Foundation because in their mission statement, that they support promoting conservative economic values as well as promoting the conservative political movement, leading their content to skew toward a particular political agenda.]]> 2017-09-15 15:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187992175 Emily Barcenas https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187995921 I think the most believable organization is the  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change because it provides humans with current situations on the environment by stating the environmental problems caused by humans and they provide information that is globally shared. i think the least believable organization is the Competitive Enterprise Institute because they do not believe climate change is a problem caused by humans and they are also averse to the EPA's regulations on greenhouse emissions. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187995921 Leah Bell https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187997386 The most credible organization in my opinion is the National Academy of Sciences. They are a non-profit organization, and their research is objective. Theoretically, they can't be influenced politically or financially. The least credible organization in my opinion is NASA, because they only provide vague opinions of climate change, and don't offer detailed research. It is also funded by the government, so research could be influenced politically. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187997386 Katie Monahan https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187998110 The most credible organization is the Department of Natural Resources due to the efforts made towards making the First State better for the environment and the people. The least credible is the Competitive Enterprise Institute due to its strong statement about only helping and benefiting the economy. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187998110 Gabrielle Burlison https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187999644 I think that the most credible organization is the National Academy of Sciences because they seem to be backed by purely evidence rather than opinion. In their position, they just say that evidence points to the fact that human activity has impacted global warming; they didn't sugarcoat anything at all which makes me believe them to be credible. The least credible one is the National Center for Public Policy Research because they make claims, but they don't really support them with any statistics or facts. They generalize the word "science" and claim it doesn't support global warming. In addition, the mostly just talk about their own policies which leads me to believe they could be motivated by power or influence rather than the truth.]]> 2017-09-15 15:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/187999644 Cristobal Gonzalez https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188000092 The most credible organization is  American Association for the Advancement of Science because they want to provide beneficial benefits to everyone in the world with the use of science,  engineering and innovation. The least credible organization is  National Center for Public Policy Research  they claim that  free market and individual liberty's help out America, but they are mainly in search for funding and money. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188000092 Jasmine Canlas https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188001324 The most reliable organization for me was the American Association for the Advancement of Science due to the fact that they put the emphasis on their work on promoting the science and technology to everyone throughout the world. The least credible organization for me in regards to climate change is the National Center for Public Policy Research because they claim that they place an importance on individual liberty but proceed to list their lengthy environmental policy.]]> 2017-09-15 16:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188001324 Daniel Kim https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188001469 I believe that the Competitive Enterprise Institute is the most credible out of the list. Though their stance on climate change states that they believe it is just global warming alarmism, they really don't have a strong stance on climate change, but instead are more non-partisan out of the bunch. They are more libertarian leaning in the aspect that they believe in a free market, they support whatever is good for the economy. There was even an article where they commended certain environmentally friendly companies and car. They will go up against both major parties on certain issues and are a non-profit that doesn't try to lobby politicians for money like other organizations, unions, and governmental agencies like NASA. With all these facts considered, they might not have the strongest reputation with supporting climate change, especially when it comes to regulations, but they are the most unbiased as they only go off of the solely off of study of economy. The most biased out of the bunch is the Union of Concerned Scientists. Though their occupation is reputable and they use the scientific method, they are still a union and all the aspects of a union still apply. The Union of Concerned Scientists will heavily lobby for the Democratic Party and intentionally word reports and articles in favor of one side and hardly give the point of view of the other. I am not saying that they do not offer facts, but it is very hard to rely on them for information as they are a VERY politically motivated organization, as most unions are.]]> 2017-09-15 16:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188001469 Mary Lee https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188002567 I think the most believable organization is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This is because they review and asses information about the climate change for people all over the world. They have little reason to have bias because climate change is a universal problem we all must know about. We must have credible information on climate change so we are aware what causes it and what we can do to prevent/reduce it. The least believable organization, in my opinion, is the Dept of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. Though it mentions protecting and educating about nature, with its resources, and public health, it focuses on Delaware's environment. This bias may lead to alteration of information to benefit only Delaware's environment. ]]> 2017-09-15 16:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188002567 Katie Spathelf https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188003690  
I think that the most credible organization is the National Academy of Scientist; they are a non-profit organization that provides objective information. Scientists are elected by their peers and are subject to peer review.  Based on this if they theoretically only look at facts; this should be the most credible organization.  The least credible organization is the Competitive Enterprise Institute, they are only expressing opinions that they perceive to benefit the economy. They can skew either to the left or the right as long as it helps the economy, that is their sole desire.

The organization is non-profit and has been around since it was founded by Abraham Lincoln, working to promote technology and discovery. The least believable is the Lavoisier group, this group was only focused around opinions and theories, not facts and evidence. Because of this I believe it is the most untrustworthy.]]> 2017-09-15 16:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188003693 Rachel Song https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188004239  
The most credible organization is the National Academy of Sciences because they are a group of a 17-member Council and 12 Councilors whom are all elected from the Academy membership. Also, they have their evidence points which support their claim of human impact on global warming. The least reliable organization is the Heritage Foundation because they just claim that global warming is by “climate alarmism” and not caused by human with no reliable evidence.

They are made up of scientists elected by their peers after making contributions to the advancement of scientific research. They publish objective advice on scientific issues and policy, as well as educate the public on new research and advancements. The least credible organization was the Lavoisier Group. This group published "research" entirely based on opinion from sources that were not credible. They only featured articles on major issues, rather than scholar papers and research findings. ]]> 2017-09-15 16:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188009392 Jacob Nelson https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188009572 In my opinion i believe the National Academy of Sciences to be more believable. The reason why is because they have studied the environment and found actual proof that supports their evidence even more. While the least believable is the Heritage Foundation due to them not having the evidence that support their claims and that there currently more concerned with the politics surrounding it rather than the environment itself.]]> 2017-09-15 16:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188009572 Annie Ha https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188097917 I think the National Academy of Science is the most credible organization because the fact that it is a private, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. It does not contain opinions but real facts that supports with reliable sources and proof. Also, they are actually willing to help the environment disregarding the economy.
In my opinion, i think the least believable organization is the Heritage Foundation because they are not informed well and does not have clear facts, evidence and no sources used. They also are more focused on the politics and economy.]]> 2017-09-15 20:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188097917 Eric Ekpe https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188161344 I think the most credible organization is the American Association for the Advancement of Science because the are independent of any government and any company. Also, the are solely dedicated to following where the science takes them and not to prove any point. I think the least credible organization is  National Center for Public Policy Research because they are a very partisan group which can make them biased in their research. They believe that public issues should be solved with market solutions which shows their bias.]]> 2017-09-16 16:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannie_lanio/5rh32fyyxgyk/wish/188161344
