Coral reefs are being damaged by global warming

Source 1:



Who is the source?
Someone at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060515232529.htm



What credentials does the source have?


How credible is the source?


What does the source say about the fact?
Global warming has had a more devastating effect on some of the world's finest coral reefs than previously assumed. Ocean surface temperatures are too high and are bleaching most of the oceans coral reefs.



Do you believe the source?
I'm not sure.



Why or why not?

I don't know why the surface tempatures can bleach the coral reefs so far away from the oceans surface.



Source 2:



Who is the source?
Stephanie Schlazer from the University of Florida.



What credentials does the source have?
none.



How credible is the source?
Its not because i was not told Stephanie's profession or study at University of Flordia.



What does the source say about the fact?
Coral reefs around the world are in danger. One of the causes is global warming, which has been increasing the temperature of the ocean water resulting in coral bleaching. This web page will focus on damage occurring to the Great Barrier Reef.



Do you believe the source?
im not sure.




Why or why not?

refer to what i said on the previous one for source 1.\



Source 3:



Who is the source?

Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY.

What credentials does the source have?
I dont know her perfession.

How credible is the source?
^

What does the source say about the fact?
Global warming poses to coral, by extension many ocean species.

Do you believe the source?
Not sure.


Why or why not?
I still dont know how the ocean surface tempature can affect the coral reefs thousands of feet below.

After you have checked your fact against at least three sources, state whether you believe the fact or not, and explain why you believe that.
Ive come to the conclusion that i do not believe this fact because for the fourth time i dont understand how the tempature of the surface affects the coral reefs so below.
