Foundations Skills for University Learning 1 (FSUL) - Activity 3: Groupwork - PowerPoint Presentation. We were tasked with an activity to find sources online such as peer-reviewed articles, write three examples of in-text citation (using APA Style Referencing) and conduct a CRAAP test. We were then told to put these findings into a presentation and presented these findings to the class. This is my first upload in order to get a feel of SlideShare and at least add something to my profile.

 The article The Economic Impacts of Climate Change (Tol, 2018) reviewed is the economic
impact climate change has in relation to the policy implications that will be made as result.
There are both positive and negative impacts that are highlighted in the article in which the
initial effects of climate change are deemed positive. However, in the long run, these impacts
are detrimental.
 (Tol, 2018) states that with the reduction of poverty, the rates of emissions of greenhouse
gases are reduced conclusively impacting the rates of climate change. Regarding the growth
rate of economies countries with strong climate change regulations which locally possess large
markets can implement carbon borders taxes to remain competitive.
 Negative impacts will be substantially greater in poorer, hotter, and lower-lying countries.
Poverty reduction complements greenhouse gas emissions reduction as a means to reduce
climate change impacts (Tol, 2018)

Why we think it’s a good source
 C- Published 2018 (Review of Environmental Economics and Policy
Volume 12, Number 1 Winter 2018)
 R- It talks about climate change from an economic perspective
 A- University of Chicago Press Journals
Author: Richard Tol
Qualifications: a professor of economics at the University of Sussex. He is
also a professor of the economics of climate change at the Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam. He is a member of the Academia Europaea
 A- There is a comprehensive reference list of primary sources
 P- Subjective overview of climate change affecting the
economy
 We believe this source is viable
because it provides insights on how
climate change can affect the economy
both positively and negatively. The
article is published by reputable
publications University of Chicago
Press Journals and was written by a
qualified author

 Changing temperature and precipitation patterns and increasing concentrations of atmospheric
CO2are likely to drive significant modifications in natural and modified forests (Kirilenko & Sedjo,
2007).
 According to the article in Climate change impacts on forestry (Kirilenko & Sedjo, 2007) vital
vegetation models predict a shift in vegetation and agriculture to more favorable biogeographical sites
due to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. This shift results in 50% of tundra areas to be
exchanged due to forest developments.
 (Kirilenko & Sedjo, 2007) states that Climate change can influence the timber production
worldwide. As climates become warmer poleward there is an expansion and possible areas of forest
plantations as demonstrated by yield models. Warmer climates hasten the rate at which vegetation
nurtures in which the once longer growth seasons are cut short and causing the domino effect of raises
in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Furthermore, this lowers timber prices and supply calling for a use in
possible types of renewable wood materials.

Why we think it’s a good source:
 C - Edited by William Easterling, Pennsylvania State University,
University Park, PA, and accepted by the Editorial Board on August
16, 2007 (received for review on February 14, 2007)
 R - talks about climate change in reference to the impacts on forestry
 A - Author(s):
 Andrei Kirilenko Associate Professor at University of Florida Dr. Kirilenko is
increasingly involved in multidisciplinary studies, which include scholars in both
natural and social sciences such as political and tourism research
 Roger A. Sedjo is an economist and senior fellow and director of Resources for the
Future. Forestry and land use have been major focuses of his career
 A - There is a comprehensive reference list of primary sources
 P - Subjective overview of climate change affecting the forestry
industry
This source is effective in it provides scientific-
based evidence on how climate change will
impact forestry and the timber industry.
Coauthored by Kirilenko & Sedjo who are
respectively an associate professor and an
economist
