Question

read the excerpts about climate change. article 1, found on the website of the natural resources defense council, a certified charitable organization, supports global warming. global warming doesnt create hurricanes, but it does make them stronger and more dangerous. because the ocean is getting warmer, tropical storms can pick up more energy and become more powerful. so global warming could turn, say, a category 3 storm into a much more dangerous category 4 storm. in fact, scientists have found that the destructive potential of hurricanes has greatly increased along with ocean temperature over the past 35 years. article 2 was written by michael fumento, writer for the new york post editorial blog, who does not support global warming. back in 2005 i and others reviewed the entire hurricane record. which best justifies the accuracy of the claim? although article 1 mentions evidence discovered by scientists, more research is needed about the data source to determine if the claim is scientific. article 1 is a scientific claim because it says that global warming doesnt create hurricanes. although article 2 mentions the study of a hurricane record, it is a scientific claim because the author himself reviewed it and is therefore an expert. article 2 uses a scientific claim because the author says the earth is in a cooling cycle

Explanation:

Scientific claims need reliable evidence and proper data - sourcing. Article 1 is from a certified charitable organization and mentions scientific evidence. More research on data sources helps determine scientific validity. Article 2 has less - reliable sourcing as it's from an editorial blog author with a non - supporting stance on global warming.

Answer:

Although Article 1 mentions evidence discovered by scientists, more research is needed about the data source to determine if the claim is scientific.
