All sources appear to be educated on their topic. But, are all derived from
organizations that share the same beliefs on climate change. Bias is found in
the authors research, all sources have a history of promoting the idea that
climate change is due to human interference.
5. GOOD or BAD Source
Overall this source would be an ok source to use in a paper talking about
climate change.
The first reason would be the author may have a B.Sc. (Hons) in Geography
from University College London, some who has jus a Bachelors degree in
Geography wouldn’t be your first option to get an opinion from when talking
about climate change.
Also, many of the sources she quoted had the same view when it came to the
topic of climate change. This bias could be used but should be oppsed with
another source.
