Student Learning Journal - Remember the Student Learning Journal contributes 40% to your final mark. - Your SLJ Topic this week is - "The Media of Climate Change" - Personally, I believe Climate Change is a perpetual happening. Nature has shown us this throughout the years and scientists can easily highlight this. - Planet Earth is retreating from an lce Age \& NASA states, "Today Earth is in an interglacial period, a relatively warmer period of the current ice age, but in recent decades Earth's climate has been warming. While past shifts took hundreds or thousands of years, today people may be able to see changes in their lifetimes". - However, the worldwide media will have you believe the climate change is due entirely to the over production of Carbon Dioxide. - I am unable to form an opinion for myself because of the lack of a balanced argument, whether it be in the press, TV, Internet, published key opinion leaders and more. - Your task is to do your own research on this. Has the media "highjacked" the debate by not allowing so called Climate Denialists their opportunity to debate and discuss Climate Change? - This SLJ is due for submission before your next lecture
