The website I researched into was called fightglobalwarming.com. I am really not sure how legitimate this website was however. This is an environmental defense fund. The science behind this website was extremely watered down. I didn't see any authoritive science figures linked to the research or facts in which this website provided. I would argue that global warming is occurring though and I liked how this website provided information in a very simple and straight forward way that would allow any type of audience to understand the main ideas behind global warming.
It tried to instill fear within its audience by listing "dangers" as one of the side columns that you could choose from. Under this topic, the ideas of pollution trapping heat into the earths surface, and a dangerous spiral of the arctic, or "air conditioner" of the world not existing anymore because of all of the ice melting and the oceans as "global conveyer belt", not being able to circulate the worlds water around.
As far as progress this website tried to give people ideas of what they could try to do to literally fight global warming. These are the things the websited listed: use less energy in your own home, be more efficient when driving cars, and to neutralize the rest of your life.
I would not recommend this website for making a strong, intellectual arguement on the occurence of global warming this would not be the website to present to someone new, but I do believe it would be good for younger those who aren't very well informed on the topic.
