Review of Climate Change Effects on Skin Cancer Incidence and Prolonged Opioid Use in Postoperative Care
Overview
This document contains reviews of two academic papers: one examining the relationship between climate change and skin cancer incidence by Katherine Mora, and another analyzing prolonged opioid use in the postoperative period by Caroline Cleveland. The reviewer evaluates the organization, argumentation, source quality, and citation practices of both works.

Paper 1: The Effect of Climate Change on Skin Cancer Incidence by Katherine Mora
Author's name: Katherine Mora
Reviewer's name:
Katherine Mora's work is very organized. Her introduction is very captivating, short, and detailed. The introduction carries a comprehensive introduction that gives the different types of skin cancer. It goes ahead to provide the statistics of the cancer cases and the major causes for each. Mora also has a simple hypothesis that is easily noticeable. This introduction does not need much improvement. It should, however, include examples of countries that have the highest and lowest statistics of skin cancer cases.
The sources that contributed to the content of the article are well informed. Mora chose resources that are related and with information relevant to skin cancer and its causes. I have drawn some lessons from Mora's study. I now know that ultraviolet rays are divided into three, and a UVB is the type responsible for most cases of skin cancer. It is also evident from the study that if older people are diagnosed with cancer, it does not necessarily mean they got it from UVB because it might be a result of prolonged exposure to the UV rays. The other lesson is third climate change is responsible for most of the increased cases of skin cancer.
The author seems to allude that lack of knowledge about the causes of cancer is a worrying factor.
