WHO CAN DO DISCUSSION???

APA FORMAT IS NOT NEEDED! (Single space answers to post!)

Interactions of Hazardous Materials

According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling are unlocking vast U.S. reserves of oil and natural gas found in shale and other tight-rock formations. This fracking technology for the United States means security, economic growth, and jobs. Critics, however, are against fracking, pointing out environmental impacts such as groundwater pollution and putting people at risk of serious illnesses. What are your thoughts on this controversy? Avoid "talking head" positions. Offer the class a supportable argument.

Please list at least one article, preferred to be peer-reviewed, to support your position. Google Scholar is a good source of information. (Do not use Wikipedia, ever.)

Earth Science

Click here to watch 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).
