Competition

Consider, why is there such fierce competition around the science of climate change? How should we make sense of and evaluate the scientific claims these two competing websites make? Is one of the sites more convincing than the other? If so, why?

I think there is such fierce competition around the science of because some people do not want to accept that the climate really is changing. Many people support the science of the one that fits their ideas. They do not dig into the science themselves they only support the science that supports their ideas. That is one of the largest reasons why there is such great competition. It is difficult to evaluate the claims each website makes. I think the website that talks about how to speak to someone who is against the claims of climate change does the best job because it refutes the evidence the other website gives. It is more convincing because it gives a lot more evidence against the other sides claims. I could also be biased though because I believe that climate change is real and I think that most of this science against that claim is from funding from people who do not want loose money by having to change their business practices if evidence is proven against them.
