ENGL 103: Annotated Bibliography on Global Warming Solutions

This annotated bibliography focuses on the critical issue of global warming, compiling and summarizing several academic articles relevant to ENGL 103. The entries cover diverse aspects of climate change, from the human-scale perspective on emission reduction and the impact on public health, to the role of emotions in policy support and the interplay between knowledge, efficacy, and concern. It also explores the sociopolitical dimensions of global warming and proposes national priorities for adapting to its effects. Each annotation provides a concise overview of the article's main points and its potential contribution to further research, highlighting the importance of collaborative action, public awareness, and strategic adaptation in addressing the global challenge of climate change.

Introduction
de la Fuente, A., Rojas, M., & Mac Lean, C. (2017). A human-scale perspective on global
warming: Zero emission year and personal quotas. Plos One, 12(6), e0179705.
The article covers topics relating specifically to global warming and what are the eventual drivers
of climate changes. The authors emphasize on the need of behavioral changes to lower greenhouse
gas productions and thus analyze the issue of climate change from a human-scale. What adds to
the credulity of the article are the references years that point to the
magnitude of left to reverse the global warming and its impacts. I will use the article to show
how global warming is a major problem for the entire world and why all countries must together
to fight global warming.

Comprehensive Review (1989^−^2013). International Journal Of Environmental Research
And Public Health, 15(10).
Colin D. Butler in his article shows how global warming constitutes a profound health
risk as it interacts with social and other environmental factors. This paper reports a useful and
comprehensive literature in scientific journals on risks related with climate change. As the article
is extensively researched and carries a huge extension of the literature, it offers an improved
understanding of the need of curbing global warming and using renewable resources.

Nicholas Smith and Anthony Leiserowitz show how affective imagery and influence of
discrete emotions can garner public support for global warming. The article makes use of a
nationally representative survey that finds that stronger emotion predicted higher support for
global warming. The results of this study contribute as to how interest, and hope can lead to
higher policy support and help spread awareness and motivate discussions on the subject. I
would use the article to make valuable addition to my paper.

about global warming and climate change: a one-year longitudinal study. Risk Analysis:
An Official Publication Of The Society For Risk Analysis, 32(6), 1003–1020.
Taciano L. Milfont. the author of the article shows how limiting global
warming to less than 2◦C is is possible but demands stronger political will and cooperation along
with widespread public support. Public knowledge and support on global warming and climate
change show positive association. The article would be used to show how knowing more about
global warming can raise concerns about the issue and motivate the masses to act. I will use the
article to add to the subject and offer more details.
Sadler, T. D., & Klosterman, M. L. (2009). Exploring the Sociopolitical Dimensions of
Global Warming. Science Activities, 45(4), 9–13.
The authors explore different viewpoints on the issue of global warming and theorize the
sociopolitical complexity behind. The article argues that the social and political dimensions
along with the underlying science must be discussed to motivate one to develop environment
friendly nature. The authors discuss multiple perspectives on the issue and recommendations for
national policy to control global warming. The paper by Sadler & Klosterman offers valuable
content for the topic and would be used for the research.

Guile, B., & Pandya, R. (2018). Adapting to Global Warming: Four National
Priorities. Issues in Science & Technology, 34(4), 19–22.
Bruce Guile and Raj Pandya address global warming in their article” Adapting to Global
Warming” by stating four nationwide priorities. They offer certain recommendations such as
anticipating climate risks, investing on research, lower adaptation costs and improve risk
management plans. According to the authors, the planet would be fighting a combat against
climate change in the next twenty to fifty years as the flooding, droughts and heat events will
rise. The article would be used to add to the understanding of how to adapt to the global warming
and what are the priorities.
