Week 4 | Climate Change Discussion

Before you post in the discussion board, it is expected that you have read chapter 4 in your text, as well as the previous module pages.

For this discussion board, you must complete the following:

1. Below are 5 question prompts. Pick two question prompts and provide a thorough response for each. Thorough responses should be 4-6 sentences. Post your responses on the discussion board. Make sure you include which question you are answering! It may not be obvious for each discussion board.
2. You will also have to respond to two of your peers’ posts. Your responses are intended to add to the conversation and should be about 3-5 sentences. Maybe you agree/disagree with someone’s responses. Explain why that is. Maybe your fellow classmate made a point that you hadn’t thought of, and you can explain what you learned from their post. Maybe you have a thought to add to their post. Did their post prompt a question? Ask it! There are many other response opportunities!

   You do not have to address both question prompts in your statement. Do not copy or paraphrase someone else’s comment. You will lose points for doing so.

3. Finally, respond to someone that posted on your thread (your original post). Thank them for their comment AND add something else. You can use strategies from #2 to continue the conversation.

   If the due date is nearing and no one has responded to your thread, you may respond to a third person as outlined in #2. However, I highly recommend students look for threads that have not been commented on yet to reduce the occurrence of no one responding to a thread.

QUESTION PROMPTS

(You are only required to pick 2 questions to respond to)

1. Some people refuse to accept that climate change is happening. What are two (or more) excuses you have heard from people like this? Elaborate on why people use these excuses. As a follow-up, other students can try to invalidate these excuses.
2. Find a news article discussing recent climate change effects. Provide a link to the article, as well as a brief summation.
3. Have you heard of any local mitigation or adaptation initiatives? Provide a website link, as well as a brief summation.
4. What has been the most interesting thing you have learned about climate change this week? Elaborate on your choice.
5. If you had 30 seconds or less to convince someone that climate change is a major threat to your country, what would you say?
