Perhaps
you have heard the say "You can't get the right answer
unless you ask the right question." So you ask yourself:
What do I already know about global warming?
I know that it has something to do with the weather and holes in the ozone layer. These holes are supposed to be bad for some reason, for example, the guys on the radio tell me that I have to use a lot of sunscreen and I know the air quality around here gets pretty bad, especially in the summer. I think some people blame global warming for the mild winters we have had in northern Virginia and for the lack of rain.
What do I want to know about global warming?
I want to know if there really is such a thing as global warming and why some people say yes and others say no. I want to know who is saying yes and who no.
And for starters, you come up with research questions:
1) What is global warming?
2) What causes global warming?
3) What are the results of global warming?
4) What are the arguments about global warming?
5) What can we do about it?
