climate change comparisons

While i found that the purpose of both if the sites, "How to talk to a Climate Skeptic" and "Friends of science to have a similiar purpose, of dispelling confusions about what climate change really is, there are some more simple difference between them as well. I went in assuming things about what they would both be about based on their titles and concepts, but i was actually quite surprised about both.

First of all, Friends of Science completely threw me. I was anticipating some sort of eco-warrior type cause. In actuality though, it is poking whole is some of the most common assumptions about climate change. what i think is scientific aand friendly to nature about it thought is that they provide quite a bit of scientific and reasonably persuasive evidence about why the claims are incorrect (as well as giving an alternative response).

World Wildlife Fund's page took a similar approach, that is looking at and examining different common questions in regards to climate change. They take a sartorical almost approach to this though; its not about saying "you are wrong, this is right" but they are suggesting, in a throughly well organized manner, how to give a sort of "eco-intervention" to your climate change ignorant friends!

both are a unique and neccessary component to the important efforts to help as many people as possible understand the current and potential effects of climate change; whichever works, who kknows, but every effort helps!
