Web. 9 Sept. 2015. Inths article, it explained how the US was seeing increases in temperatures over the years, Italso mentions how places such as Arizona had three digt temperatures that caused wild fires. The 10 year average temperature in Arizona increased 2.3 degrees in contrast from 1977's tomperature. Specialisis in the climato field, elaborated that slight tomporaturo differences makes a big distinction in the environment. With the increase temperature it ‘would create a dry environment and increases the chances of wid fire. Furthermore, wid fires were more common as compared to forty years ago, when temperatures were not that server. Jonathan Gverpeck. a climate scientist. stressed the need to control greenhouse gas ‘or face more fires in the future. The artcle pointed out that wild fires generally occur during ‘summer when temperatures are high and could last to up to winter. | think that one limitation in this research is thatit does nat study the linkage between wild fires and temperatures in other parts of the world, which has different terrains. Although it ‘does not study how other parts of the world are affect by temperature, | think itis a good research finding that could be use as future reference for future studies. ‘tom Discussion 2: Scientific Methodology and Its Limitations ‘Sep 12, 2015 120m Ag Uy H Ea, ts inerestng to see that CO? acts diferent ypes of plants.
