In Class blog 3/17/14

  Hello my name is James Hull and I am currently reading the book "The Climate Casino" for my ENG 101 class.  I made this blog to inform you of two different graphs I saw in the book.  Figure 12 graph on page 62 and figure 10 graph on page 52. I thought these were two interesting and important graphs.
    The graph on page 52 of "the Climate Casino" is a graph showing how stable the temperatures was in Greenland. I also notice within a few year the temperature increased dramatically. I like how Figure 10 graph show the climate results of Greenland  over the last 7,000 years. It showed how settled Greenland climate was and how it started change over the years. Figure 12 graph on page 62 is an illustration of a tipping point for Greenland Ice sheet. At first to me the graph was hard to understand because of the arrows, but I think the arrows is either a cycle of the ice sheets or the result of temperature change effect on the ice sheets.

  1. You introduced yourself which is great but you should introduce the author and give a little take on what the book is about, a short summary of the book. You were able to portray the meaning of the graphs very well. I actually try to picture these graphs while reading which was the idea of this blog. I'm not sure about writing William Nordhaus at the end the way you did is the proper way to do that. It just doesn't look right to me but I could be wrong about that. Over all your explanation was well understood.
