So, this week I had to find a news story that is somehow related to the environment. I decided on a TIME article titled:
Republican Senator Endorses 'Price on Carbon' to Fight Climate Change
2.
a. I chose TIME as my reputable source because I personally feel it is trustworthy and that this particular article has no degree of partisanship. TIME is owned and operated by TIME Inc. the CEO is Rich Battista, the Executive Chairman is Joseph A. Ripp. TIME Inc. is a publicly traded company. TIME has a great reputation as a news agency, frequently reporting on Americans and American politics since its founding in 1922. The mission of TIME is to keep its readers informed, even adapting to the times to make this happen. I found this information through the history section on TIME Inc.'s website along with the history section of the Wikipedia page on TIME.
b. I decided to search around for other sources also reporting on Senator Graham's support for a carbon tax. With just some simple Google-Fu I was able to find several other reports from reputable news agencies confirming the TIME article and the Yale climate conference where Graham made his statement.
c. This article honestly gave me hope that there will be more bipartisan support for answers to climate change. As our tropical storms continue to worsen, our droughts deepen, and our weather reaches extremes, we will have to come together and stop denying the danger that is climate change.
