• The source is National Geographic.
• The Credentials are Scientists at Oxford that specialize in climate research.
• The source is very credible because it is Scientists that specialize in this topic at an univeristy.
• It says that global warming may be to blame for the scorching heat waves across the United States.
• Yes, Somewhat
• I believe the source because they seem to know what they are talking about, but is questionable in a few areas.

• http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/impacts/early-warning-signs-of-global-6.html
• The source is Union of Concerned Scientists.
• The credentials include many scientists for environment solutions
• This source is very credible because it is most of the top scientists that conclude this information
• It says that the patterns of temperature correspond with the model predictions when greenhouse gas are considered together.
• Yes
• I believe the source because they have a lot of facts and have modeled this situation many times that show good evidence.

• http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206371,00.html
• The source is FoxNews Natural Science.
• The credentials include "scientists" but no specific names or where they are from.
• The source should be credible because it is scientists but there is no information stating where they are from.
• The source says for the long-term future, the world will see more and worse killer heat waves because of global warming.
• Yes
• I believe the source because even though the scientists do not have information on what they are from they have good supporting facts

4. Overall I believe that because of global heat waves will be more frequent and intence because the greenhouse gases and heat waves are a direct correlation resulting in more heat waves. I think that there is enough good information out there that will support the fact that heat waves will continue to get more intense as long as we keep putting pollution into our atmosphere.
