This discussion will focus on global climate change and pseudoscience. Many scientists think global climate change is the number one environmental issue the world faces today. In order to have a useful and enlightened discussion, it is important to understand data behind global climate change. It will also be important to use your best research skills in finding articles and information. In addition to understanding global climate change, we will explore what science and pseudoscience are.

Pseudoscience is all to often passed off as science. It is especially prevalent when discussing the topic of global climate change. This comes from both sides of the fence – those that believe humans are the primary cause of global warming and those arguing that global warming is not occurring or humans are not responsible. Examples of pseudoscience include creationism, astrology, conversion therapy, ancient astronauts and numerology, to name a few. A good article in Forbes on the dangers of pseudoscience being passed off as science can be found here.
