Dale, Kristi, Katie, and Zach. Worked on script. Emailed questions to Professor Davies. Ideas for filming.





Set of Questions for Professor Davies

1.) Do you believe in Global Warming/Climate Change?
2.) What are you’re thoughts on the climagate scandal?
3.) What are you’re thoughts about the recent large snow storms in the Washington and New York area?
4.) What are the costs of putting solutions into actions to slow global warming?
5.) What are the costs of not solving global warming?

Set of Questions for USU Students

1.) Do you believe in Global Warming/Climate Change?
2.) What are you’re thoughts on the climagate scandal?
3.) So there has been large snowstorms in Washington, but here in Logan we aren't receiving any snow what so ever. Do you think that means “Global Warming” also known as Climate Change is in fact not happening? Why?
4.) How much do you think that  the costs of putting solutions into actions to slow global warming are going to be?
5.) Do you think there are going to be any costs of not solving global warming?

Materials needed for tomorrow-

Dale: (outside: running trucks...etc)    
Don’t get me wrong I’m just as worried about my carbon footprint and rising ocean levels as the next guy. That’s why I just bought a 9 million dollar, ocean view mansion, right next to Al Gore. Now we can watch those sea levels rise together.

Kristi: “Snowstorm”
Second Reporter- Funny joke playing off of dale’s thing. Introduce Selective Exposure  and Cultivation, show fox’s clip on snow storm and then Colbert Report.
