How was blogging different from other types of writing?

What did you learn about editing that you will use next time you make a video project?

Have a nice summer, Chris.

“It is much easier for a rich country such as the United States to adapt to any long-term shift in weather than it is for poor countries, most of which are considerably more dependent on agriculture than the rich industrial nations. Such populations lack the resources to aid their flora and fauna in adapting, and many of their farmers earn too little to survive a shift to new conditions. These agriculturally dependent societies could suffer real hardship if the climate shifts quickly. The best preventive would be a rise in incomes which would diminish their dependence on agriculture. Higher earnings would provide them with the resources to adjust.”

I, too, fear taking the carboncounter quiz.

Instead of agreeing or disagreeing with an article, you should discuss how it might be useful or not useful to your documentary segment.

Some questions to get you started:
What aspects of the EPA would you want to inform people about?
Do you need to do more research about the EPA?
Were there policies that you learned about?
Can you find out what the reaction has been to this petition–you begin to go into it, but it seems like more people would have weighed in.

From your perspective, what issues or effects (i.e., environmental, political, economic, cultural, social) do you feel are the most important? Why?

This question may be a little long–it would be difficult for someone to remember all of the choices–perhaps you could ask a comparison of just two? Do you think people on the street will have enough knowledge to answer this question–or do you think you’ll have to do a little background information. Perhaps even asking if the person was aware that there could be political or economic consequences to climate change. I think most people know that there are environmental ones.

Do you think you’ll film people taking the carbon quiz? Did you take it? I think I’ll be sad about my footprint.

I strongly suggest you go back and edit your comments to make them more thoughtful. Engage in academic discourse. Use your research to show the contradictions and complexities by cross-referencing your readers to reliable research that shows other views.

Since it would be difficult for you to conduct your own experiments in the next 4 weeks, you will be reliant upon others’ work. Read widely and with a critical eye. Then synthesize what you’ve learned to draw conclusions about this subject.
