Hey Jackson-
I am wayyyy behind on this article so I am going to go very little in depth here. I noticed you have clarified your citations and that is great. However, I find that perhaps merely to bulk up your articles and responses, you have begun to incorporate a large amount of personal experiences and opinions. While many of these are great and might very well help you when it comes to the writing of your paper, they can convelute your research. Your most recent article for example begins it's response with a personal story of your skiing. I have noticed that these can get somewhat off topic. Perhaps you should create another post (or even blog) to write quick notes of personal experiences you have while skiing.

New England battered by more snow, cold temperatures RESPONSE
Skiing this weekend was great. Everyone was scared off by the cold temperatures, and
my friends and I had the whole mountain to ourselves. I just wanted to bring up that places all
over the country are seeing record snowfalls and cold temperatures. In the Tug Hill Region in
New York, an area infamous for it's snowfall, they have already received more than 10 feet.
The only real problem that I see with these temperatures is that people may stop thinking
about global warming. How can you when its 30 below, right? I hope that we don't
just blow off trying to do as much as we can to stay green because there is no point. I'm
definitely not saying that I want warmer temperatures to scare people, but its just important
that we don't dismiss the possibility of climate change in the near future.
New England battered by more snow, cold temperatures
I wanted to find an article that talked about the weather this weekend, and this one seemed perfect. At Sugarloaf on Saturday, the temperature was -27 degrees. Since it was so cold over the weekend, we got two simultaneous storms that both gave us about 12 inches, which made for a sick day on Monday. Anyway, this article says "In northern Maine residents woke to extreme cold once again with a low of minus 29 in Caribou and Presque Isle". I realize that this is merely a weather forecast, but bare with me. In temperatures like these, it is hard to think about global warming, and some of us may even be even hoping for warmer temps.
