Ladder of Abstraction

Mr. Moussay's grandfather claims that the fruits on his tree are ripening earlier and earlier in the year and this must be due to global warming.

I will be attempting to achieve a good Knowledge Question through the use of the ladder of abstraction.

1. Knowledge claim (Real Life Situation)- fruits are ripening faster and faster due to global warming 
2. Topic- Global warming
3. Poor Knowledge Question- Is global warming real? 
4. Intermediate Knowledge Question- In what ways can the existence of global warming be verified? 
5. Good Knowledge Question- How certain can we be observable changes and empirical knowledge are scientifically  factual?

As of above, I have managed to reach to what i believe is a good knowledge question. It might not be good but over the next year or two, I believe it will eventually improve.
