Self Analysis
I believe that my way of thinking about global warming has changed over the course of this project. I am naturally a very contradictory person who usually sees most things in a scientific perspective. This project almost forced me to step outside of that comfort zone. Before I ever really thought about global warming I just assumed it to be a truth because of what I had learned in school. Now I realize just how incomplete of a science it actually is. We have practically no data about global warming at all and to be honest this is what made this topic so confusing for me. It was so hard to make post on a topic that had practically no data to completely support any claim that I made. But it at the same time forced me to actually develop my own opinion about the topic instead of just relying on others as i had done before. I also think that by responding to other people's post I became more aware of many political issues that i would not have noticed otherwise. The project also forced me to take on a more active attitude about global warming. I understand that it is a very complex topic but I do not believe that we, as a society, should just sit and wait for more scientific evidence. We must act soon to at least make an attempt to try to prevent the possible effects of global warming. I think that in this situation we should hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Your comment about stepping out of your comfort zone seemed kind of strange to me. I thought the whole point of the project was to kind of step out of our comfort zone in order to see the multiple sides of the issue.
That was the project, but I must admit that I picked my topic not expecting to step out of comfort zone as much as I did. I was so uneducated and apathetic to the topic and I think that the research I have done has helped to open my eyes more than I could have imagined.
