Once again this is a news article so there is not works cited or a list of resources like you would expect for a document or just like information on a website. But as usual, there are refrences to where they got their information from in the article itself and that is what makes the article credible. The source agrees with the fact and i do believe it because the article talks about how the climate change has impacted the glaciers because the sun is hitting on the glaciers causing it to melt gradually, but this is happening quicker than we think of because of heat getting the water and causing the glaciers around it melt even faster and that is what happened to Argentina.

This is also a new article from BBC which is well known and credible site even though there are no works cited page neccessary or given by this article. But you know it is credible because of the fact that the refrences are in the article itslef. This source agrees with the fact and i beleive it because it shows very clearly why it happened, which is climate change. It is a series of 6 pages and it has pictures showing the before and after pictures and how it has changed and it gives a very visual idea which is better in this case

This is a credible website because it is a news website and like all of them, we mostly trust them and abc is among one of the most viewed website. Also, it does not have bibliography at the end but as said several times before, it has sources within the article. The source actually says that the fact is not true because it says how one of the glaciers in Argentina is going agaisnt the trend. They have recorded that it is growing almost 3 meters a day, which is a LOT for a galciers espcially because of the extreme climate change and the warmer weather. It says in the article that glaciers do not compeltely depend on the climate change which was said by a Patagonian expert from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

I believe that the fact is true because there are many other websites that mention how the Aregentine glaciers are melting and the reason for it which is the warmer climate shift and that makes sense because as there is warmer weather, the hotter it will be and it will cause the glacier to melt. Even though the alst source contradicts, you have to understand that it is only talking about one of the glaciers, and i do beleive it, but the overall glaciers are melting and that was Al Gore was talking about in the movie, instead one particular one. I believe that becuase i saw pictures and it is like a visual conformation.
