Inconvenient Fact 3

Fact: Because of Global Warming the oceans are getting warmer which is causing more hurricans, typhons and storms.

1) The source is Peter J. Webster of the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Today and Randolph E. Schmid, AP Science Writer.

2) Randolph E. Schmid is an AP. Science Writer and Peter Webster is a studier at Georgia Institute of Technology.
3) This source is credibal because Randolph studies storms and the weather.
4) This artical states that hurricans have increased sharply ovcer the past few decades. The warm water vapor from the oceans brings tropical storms, and the water has been warmer therefore bringing more storms. There is a major increase of storms all aross the coast.
5) I believe this source because the Earth is getting warmer beacuse of global warming, which does cause warmer water and scientists say that the warmer water brings more storms.

1) The sources are research meteorologists.
2) The credintials that meteorologists have is that they study the atmosphere to see how it effects the environment.
3) This source seems credibal because the information given is given by meteorologists, but this artical doesn't specifi an exact meteorologist stating these facts.
4) This artical said that storms have doubled over the past decade and more floods and strong winds are occuring.

1) The sources are Dr. Robert J. Trapp.
2) Dr. Robert J. Tr has a Ph.D. and is a meteorologist at Purdue University. He is apart of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
3) This source is credibal beacuse Dr. Robert is a meteorologist who studies how the atmosphere causes the enviromnment to change.
4) This site talks about how there are more severe floods and how the increase in greenhouse gases will cause more sever storms.
5) I believe this source is true because Dr. Trapp is a meteorologist who knows what he is talking about and has true facts.
