Weather Forecasters On Global Warming (By:Thomas Lin)

link to article

In the article Weather Forecasters on Global warming, there is two deifferent sides. The meteorologists are saying the weather is from global warming but the climate scientiests are saying the weather is not from global warming. Meteorologists study short term weather but climate scientiests study long term weather patterns. people are more prone to believing that the weather is from global warming because they hear from the meteorologists in the morning, not from the climate scientiests. “Meteorologists are far more likely than climatologists to question the science of climate change.” On San Diego’s KUSI News, John Coleman, co-founder of the Weather Channel, reported, “Mankind is not destroying our planet.” Bill O’Reilly invited Bill Nye (“The Science Guy”) and Joe Bastardi, an AccuWeather to have there debate.


The argument is effectively supported because there is videos of the debate and they explain why its not global warming and why it could be global warming. There is alot of supporting quotes in the article that is mainly bias to people who believe it is not global warming. It reaches all audiences, for it and against it because it has quotes of scientiest who say its not global warming and they have quotes from meteorologists saying that its arrogant to say that meteorologists convince people that there is global warming.


This article made me feel that meteorlogists do make people think there is global warming because everyone watches the weather channel and what ever the weather man says about the forcast, is what everyone is going to believe. The climate scientists are not being able to get there long term research in the hands of the media; therefore, the weather mens global warming is taking everyones opinion. I read in a blog some where that a hacker found emails that global warming is made up and co2 cannot cause global warming. I personaly think the weather change is from the earth moving closer to the sun.

Saving Private Ryan (Make up blog 2)

My favorite movie is Saving Private Ryan. The first time I saw this movie, I was 14 years old. I have seen many other war movies before Saving Private Ryan, but after I seen that movie, everything changed on what was my view on my favorite movie. This is my favorite movie in may ways. This movie keeps me on my toes the whole time because all of the action and the loud, crystal clear, explosions. I also liked this movie because it is very realistic, the first realistic movie I have ever seen and still is in my book. The movie is realistic because it is very gorey and the Dday invasion scene, gives you that real life action, and gore scene that the troops experienced in WWII. I also love the acting in this movie because all of the characters give you a ruged feel but also you can see what pain they are going through during the movie. For example, Adam Goldberg and Tom Hank's characters cry because they are at war and their riends are being killed. That showed me how good of actors they are and how realistic this movie is. Another reason why this is my favorite movie because the ending always makes me feel upset. This is because Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors and he is the main character in the film, you found out about his life back home, and he is a school teacher, and he is a good leader during the movie and at the end when he dies, it always chokes me up. I love this movie and every element it has for a movie is well done. It will always be my number one movie.

Block or Pastrana? (Make up blog 1)

Which Rally Racer is better, Ken Block or Travis Pastrana? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Ez2G2Q5HA (Block's vid) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOBTb96-mz0 (Pastrana's vid) From what I have witnessed in tv shows and youtube videos, I think Ken Block is a better rally racer than pastrana and a better free style driver too. This is because Ken Block only does rally racing and has more time to practice his driving, hand brake drifts, and maneuvers but Travis does motocross and rally racing; therefore, he doesnt have as much time to practice in rally like block does. Pastrana is a good driver in the xgames and so is Block but Pastrana does not have his own Gymkahana video. The thing that made my conclusion was, the MTV show Nitro Circus. In Nitro Circus, Travis and Ken had to do a rally car driving competition, to see who was the best driver. Forexample, they each had to drift through a turn and hit eggs that were on the ground, who ever hit the most eggs, won. Ken hit more eggs than Travis and that put together the pieces to the puzzle for me.
