U116: Block1:part1:activity1.2 - Different messages

Visible to anyone in the world
I read both articles and I have to say (probably with some bias) that the Guardian article was better and more in depth. What I noticed about both articles was that neither of them disagreed that summer artic ice was melting, just of the effects on the polar bear population melting sea ice was having.
Also, I think when considering the media, they are writing for a demographic, and probably a demographic that doesn’t want their own opinions challenging too much. To that end, perhaps I should reach across to media and sources I disagree with, try to challenge that opinion in an objective way.
I will also try and understand the provenance of articles I agree with too, so that, if anything I have a more in depth understanding of the argument.
