Figueres, Christiana, and Philip J. Landrigan “Tackling Air Pollution, Climate Change, and

NCDs: Time to Pull Together.” The Lancet, Elsevier, 25 Oct. 2018,

www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673618327405.

The article entitled “Tackling Air Pollution, Climate Change, and NCDs: Time to Pull

Together.” published in 2018 in The Lancet describes the connection between pollution and the

effects it has on the earth. The article illustrates the amount of air pollution that is responsible for

an estimate of 6.5 million deaths annually and it is time to call for action. The author states that

most of the air pollution is produced by drivers of NCD Mortality. NCD Mortality is described in

the article to be a non-communicable disease. The article specifies that “These pollutants are

responsible for 21% of deaths from cardiovascular disease, 26% of deaths from ischaemic heart

disease deaths, 23% of stroke deaths, 51% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

, and 43% of lung cancer deaths. They caused widespread cognitive dysfunction and

neurobehavioral impairment.” Therefore, pollution has been neglected, and “only 15% of the

climate change plans” under the Paris Agreement. The author argues that NCD control on health

will matter because every breath matters.

I believe the information and statistics on the article is reliable because this article has

been published and intended to be used by professions. The source is credible because it has

been peer reviewed. I believe it is a trustworthy article because it provides a list of references

where the reader can view to confirm the credibility of the article provided. The goal of the

article is to inform about pollution and the damage it has been cause the earth and also human

beings health.

This source fit my research, because it gave credible information based on air pollution. It

was very helpful during my research because not only did it give me sources to provide my

readers educational and reliable information, it gave me a better understanding throughout the

process to expand my knowledge on global warming. This article helped shape my argument

stronger because it gave me a better understanding of the effects the earth has.

result from human activity. Additionally, the information provided allows other people to access

such information. This allows for people to become informed with the correct information, as

well as a reference guide. Furthermore, the information provided is straightforward and would be

difficult to misinterpret. The information was clear and concise above all else.

reference guide. The reference guide provided a visual example of the different levels of

greenhouse gases. This is important because it provides a different perspective for the readers to

have. The article has helped shape my argument because it provided credible information on the

different effects greenhouse gases cause. The information provided has helped shape my

research paper because it gave information that can be used throughout different examples

regarding greenhouse gases.

Friedman, Lisa. “Trump Administration to Begin Official Withdrawal From Paris Climate

Accord.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 23 Oct. 2019,

The article “Trump Administration to Begin Official Withdrawal from Paris Climate

Accord.” Publish In 2019 by The New York Times argues that the administration of president

Donald Trump is preparing for formal withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement

is an agreement among united nations to control climate change. However, according to an

agency he states that the U.S position on the Paris Agreement has not changed and have until

November 4th to submit a notice.

This information is reliable because it has information coming directly from the Trump

Administration, as well as their intentions to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. The

goal of this source is to provide the audience information on the U.S and the Paris Agreement.

Furthermore, the information provided gives the people an understanding as to where the United

States stands on this issue.

This source was helpful to my research, because the world views the United States as one

of the world’s leaders and biggest influencers. This is important because the ignorant remarks

and decisions by President Trump makes America not so great. It is clear that the president does

not care about the future and well-being of Americans. This article makes my argument stronger

because it demonstrates how the U.S stands in terms of making a change. This information was

used to demonstrate the importance of electing leaders that will represent our interests.
