Your teacher asks you to write a paper that supports a claim with evidence. In three to five sentences, describe one claim you would like to make and discuss different forms of evidence you can collect to support your claim. Where would you look for this evidence?(4 points)
Make it on the impact coal and oil has had on the enviroment
One claim I would like to make is that coal and oil have had a significant negative impact on the environment. To support this claim, I can collect evidence in various forms. Firstly, I can gather scientific studies and research papers that discuss the adverse effects of coal and oil extraction, such as deforestation, habitat destruction, and water pollution. Additionally, I can look for data on greenhouse gas emissions and global warming caused by burning these fossil fuels. Environmental organizations and government reports would be excellent sources for this type of evidence. Lastly, I can collect anecdotal evidence by interviewing individuals living in areas affected by coal and oil industries, who can share their personal experiences of the environmental damage caused by these activities.
