Global Warming: fact or fiction?
There's little question that the earth is warming up, and warming up quickly. However, there's also plenty of evidence that the earth has gone through repeated warmer and cooler cycles again and again and again through its history. Whether this period of warming is being caused by human intervention or not is impossible to tell, and frankly, it's not relevant. IF the trend continues, and in all likelihood it will, then sea levels are going to rise and that's going to displace a lot of people. If human-caused pollution is behind global warming, then our problems are probably even bigger. Either way, the planet certainly does seem to be heating up, and that's that.
There is some global warming going on. It is due to green house gases(CO2). The state with the highest amount of CO2 gas emission is Alaska. This is due to the fact that Alaska, Canada and the northern countries have large amounts of Tundra. Tundra is a vegetation that takes in oxygen and gives of CO2. Al Gore and other environmentalist don't point this out because it would mean spraying defoliant on large parts of Alaska and Canada. Talk about an inconvenient truth. Gore, the famed inventor of the Internet, goes around on a private jet presenting his side of global warming. The people who believe in Gore will see his movie and be impressed by it. Those that don't agree with him won't see his movie. As for me I have too many problems of my own to worry about global warming.
Ok, Truly, the earths average temperature has fluctuated by as much as 5 degrees in the past, now that was over 10 million years yes, but it has done it. The main point of the global warming argument is that it takes a long time to raise or lower the earths average temperature, but in the past 100 years, it has risen by about a degree fahrenheit. Small in respect to total amount of time and in temperature, but if it used to take 2 million years to change a degree or two, and now it is doing it in 1/100,000th of the time, then something obviously is wrong.
