Describe the scientific evidence that links human activities to climate change.
It's important to know what to expect.
Q2: Stirling et al. (2008) reviewed a paper titled as: "Polar bears of western Hudson Bay and climate
change: Are warming spring air temperatures the "ultimate" survival control factor?" by Dyck et al.
and cited the papers that had analyzed the temperature from 7 weather stations in the Western
Hudson Bay through a large period of time. Stirling et al. mentioned that Dyck et al. have not used the
research works that recorded and analyzed data during a long period. What type of bias are Stirling et
al. pointing out in their review?
Which of the following would NOT reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the
United States?
