Social Media and Climate Change

We were asked whether or not social media impacts what people think about climate change and whether or not it is a barrier or something to help people understand it better. My half of the classroom was asked to find the helpful side and there are a lot of different social media sites that have all of that information on them. I believe it is helpful because you can find anything about climate change that you want. If we want information it is available, all we have to do is look.

Climate change is happening whether or not we can see it here in Utah, or if senators in Washington still see snowballs. We can find all of the information regarding how the world has changed in the past 50-100 years, and that kind of evidence is indisputable. We cannot see it happening, but if we use social media to our advantage we can see how much climate change is happening and how we are being swayed by social media to believe one way or another.
