This topic submitted by Mark Dalman & Katherine Kostopoulos ( pre8lude@hotmail.com ) on 1/23/02 .


Project Question:
Is global warming an environmental disaster or a natural phenomenon that affects our world or is it a mythical aspect that gets confused with other factors affecting our world?

Prediction:

Preliminary Research Design:
Our discussion will be about global warming. Is there such a thing or is it just a relative matter. If so, what are the causes of global warming and what effects have resulted from it. Also what are the concerns of global warming. Is it an event that continually cycles or is this a one time occurence. And finally, what can we to minimize this effect, if we truly are responsible for it?
