Many scientists claim that the facts support the belief that climate change is really happening. By examining scientific research and evidence, you will better understand issues and cut through the myths. As you read in the unit, it is important to carefully consider evidence because there is a lot of information in the public sphere that looks like science but it is not based on the scientific method. For this activity, you are going to do your own research on global warming and sort out the facts for yourself. Do research online to find evidence about global warming. To find reliable information, be sure that you use reliable websites, such as those from government organizations (.gov) or universities (.edu). You can also look at publications that are reputable, such as Popular Science, Discover, or National Geographic. Find a minimum of three sources that provide evidence about global warming.

The global warming controversy concerns the public debate over whether global warming is occurring, how much has occurred in modern times, what has caused it, what its effects will be, whether any action can or should be taken to curb it, and if so what that action should be. In the scientific literature, there is a strong consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view,[7] though a few organizations with members in extractive industries hold non-committal positions,[8] and some have attempted to convince the public that climate change is not happening, or if the climate is changing it is not because of human influence, attempting to sow doubt in the scientific consensus.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
