According to Gallup, an American research-based consulting company known for its public opinion polls, the
worry of global warming is at an eight-year high. A recent poll shows about 70% of Americans believe that
global warming is real and the effects of it have already begun.
However, even within these statistics, there is still a great divide between those who think that global warming
is an important issue, what money should be invested into it, what effects it has, or even what exactly is
causing it.
Looking closer at the issue of climate change, do you believe that it is an important problem in our country to
address? Why or why not? What measures, if any, should be taken to help with global warming? What role
should the United States take when it comes to climate change? Or has the U.S. invested too much time and
money into climate change, ultimately costing jobs and development? Pick a side and present evidence
regarding this issue.
Using the prompt above, write a research proposal.
Your research proposal should be between 500 - 800 words. In your research proposal, be sure to cover the
following components:
• The prompt and questions you want to address
• Your thesis (your position regarding the main question you address)
• Your goals for the paper
• Supporting details
• How and what you will research to support your thesis
It should be clear from your proposal how you intend to focus, develop, and prove it. Reputable sources must
be used to support your claims.
