Peer Review of Research Proposal: Tech Acceptance and Global Warming

This document presents a peer review of a research proposal focused on fostering greater acceptance of new technologies by the public, specifically in the context of addressing global warming. The review examines the proposal's organization, writing style, and literature review, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. The reviewer notes the importance of the research in promoting alternative energy sources like electric vehicles to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The review also critiques the proposal's arguments and suggests improvements, such as strengthening the literature review and clarifying the research questions. The reviewer emphasizes the potential impact of the research on policy recommendations and the long-term effects of global warming. The review is based on the provided research proposal, which explores the impact of burning fossil fuels for transportation and manufacturing, the release of carbon dioxide, and the need for alternative energy solutions. The reviewer also provides references to support the arguments.

Fostering greater acceptance of new technologies by the greater public.
The research proposal on fostering greater acceptance of new technologies by the
public contributes highly to the improvement of climate change across the globe. Ideally, the
importance of the research will be to highlight the alternative sources of energy. This is
because research shows that the impacts of fossil fuels used by transporters and
manufacturers in their activities have resulted in global warming. Burnt fossil fuels release
carbon dioxide gas, which harms the surrounding. I believe with the gas trapped in the earth's
atmosphere individual’s health of individuals will be at risk while the environmental
temperatures will change. In this case, therefore, there is a cause of alarm for researchers to
come up with a solution such as electric powered vehicles so that the vehicle's energy
remains efficient.
The organization and writing technique of the proposal follow the required
components. However, the literature review has several weaknesses that make the research
questionable. First, the authors' intentions are to provide a deeper understanding of the
importance of using and accepting new technologies. Therefore, try to tell whether hydrogen
was included does not quite make sense, making the argument weak. Nonetheless, I trust that
the research was able to identify the real picture of acceptance from the subject because
factors of price and usefulness would be researched. Besides, I would consider the proposal a
success if policy recommendations are enforced into law so that the long-term impacts of
global warming are cut short.
