Lab 11: Climate.

I chose to evaluate the NOAA website for this lab. One thing I noticed is that is claimed some things but it didn't seem to present a basis for its findings (no names of who conducted the research) and whenever they had a heading such as "How are Climate and Weather Changing", instead of giving information about that, it promoted its own company for the most part. What little information they did provide did not provide the name of those who conducted the study or those who did the peer review. All of the links that they provided that I clicked on were branches of NOAA, making me question the objectivity of their findings, because there were no outside sources to corroborate their claims.     


In order to find the answers to my questions I could do a couple of things. I could find and talk to a scientist that can prove what they are saying is correct and that their findings and research are sound or I could research on the internet and at the library and see whether or not what their saying is correct and can if it can be proven. It would also be a good idea to find out if they went through a proficient peer reviewing process.

Having a background in Environmental Biology does help me to decide what information about the environment I will accept because, it has taught me to be a skeptical thinker and to look for the evidence supporting something before I take it as fact. It has taught me to search for proof.
