2. Thesis of Paper Global Warming is a natural process Global Warming is a natural process Solar, oceanic, and volcanic support the cause of natural global warming. Solar, oceanic, and volcanic support the cause of natural global warming.

3. Main Ideas How solar anomalies contribute to global warming How solar anomalies contribute to global warming How oceanic changes contribute How oceanic changes contribute How volcanic activity contributes How volcanic activity contributes The effects we see today and can see in the future The effects we see today and can see in the future More Storms Ex: Hurricanes More Storms Ex: Hurricanes Drought Drought Wildfires Wildfires

4. Job Shadowing The NOAA pier in Duck, NC The NOAA pier in Duck, NC I shadowed with Jeff Hanson, an oceanographer, where I learned to use the equipment and also the importance of the research done at NOAA.

5. I thought of this idea because the thirty year old data would be a good indicator to see if more storms are occurring off the coast. I thought of this idea because the thirty year old data would be a good indicator to see if more storms are occurring off the coast. This data will show the trends over time of wave heights and wind speeds, which will show if there is an increase in storms from global warming. This data will show the trends over time of wave heights and wind speeds, which will show if there is an increase in storms from global warming. My job shadowing was based on the oceanic topic of my topic and also showed me the importance of data use.

6. Does your product fill a information gap? My product does fill an information gap because if the graph has an increasing slope it can be said that global warming is a driving force. Even if the slope is negative it shows that global warming is not a driving force in the changes in wind speed and wave height.
