Climate change is an issue that seems very broad in regards to the effects and the actual causes. The science behind climate change varies, depending on who you ask the answer will either be CO2 emissions or the Sun, which is what the Friends of Science organization believes. Because there isn’t a strong consensus as to the scientific cause or effects of climate change the debate over the topic is intense, with arguments varying in perspectives.
And when you examine the websites of the Friends of Science organization and Grist an online environmental magazine you see just this. It’s difficult to actually differentiate and determine whom to believe, which is why the best approach is to take the information from both websites and inform oneself about the varying arguments. Just being aware of the issue and knowing the various point of views is better than not being aware about the aspects of an issue. For instance the Friends of Science organization has a specific standpoint on the issue which is the Sun being the main driving force of climate change and Grist is completely different as it mainly informs people about environmental issues through commentary and news articles. If you basically just browse through the Friends of Science website it appears to be more convincing in terms of its standpoint, with the site listing scientific references, initiatives, as well as consensus and skepticism on the issue. Compared to the Grist website this site is more convincing as it takes one central point and appears to back it up with scientific data.
