Essay about Global Warming is a Theory, Not a Fact

Global warming is a constant topic that is frequently discussed throughout the world. Many people including environmentalist, study this topic to determine the seriousness and world impact. The typical understanding of this concept “global warming” is known to be the total long-term intensification in the temperature present in the atmosphere (3). When discussing this topic, it is still important to consider the fact if Global Warming is actually fact or fiction. In order to evaluate this controversial issue, one would need to discuss evidence for or against the idea of global warming. To further discuss this topic, one should evaluate valid sources that can support one’s conclusions.

Whenever someone thinks of CO2, they think of global warming. They are reminded of Al Gore and his stance on global warming and they automatically think it is true. He has a lot of evidence to back up his theory about how global warming exists and that it is the reason animals are going extinct and also why the climate is changing. Well these facts are wrong and there is evidence to prove it. Global warming is not real and the Earth might even be in a cooling period. There so many reasons to blame people for the epidemic of this false global warming. CO2, a naturally produced gas absorbed by oceans and trees could not be the reason, so what could? Well, nothing can, none of man’s efforts to control the climate will

Matt Patterson argues in “Global Warming – The Great Delusion” that the alleged scientific consensus surrounding the theory of global warming is based not on fact, but rather on a web of mass hysteria and deceit. Patterson contends that “In fact, global warming is the most widespread mass hysteria in our species’ history”, and that the beliefs of global warming proponents are the result of their own delusional imaginations and a subconscious apocalyptic yearning toward which masses of people tend to subject themselves. While Patterson worries that what he perceives to be the

The essay opens up with McKibben talking about how the political campaign against global warming is flawed because at our current point there is nothing much that can be done to fix it.(Mckibben,1) He then goes to state that humans are the biggest culprit behind global warming and supports this by giving examples such as SUVs and American ignorance.(2,9) He concludes by saying that if ten percent of America were to go green, it still would not save the planet, but ten percent could get the government’s attention to pass laws making everyone go green.

NGS integrates greenhouse into other major policy initiatives, such as the Natural Heritage Trust, and launches new measures to increase greenhouse emission reduction activities across the Australian community. It provides the strategic framework for an effective greenhouse response and for meeting current and future international commitments. It will provide a fresh impetus for action by governments, stakeholder groups and the broader community and set directions for that action into the next century.

Over 35 years ago, climatologist Wally Broecker coined the term global warming in a paper outlining the trends that he was noticing with temperature and C02 levels (Stefan). Ever since then, the debate has heated up on the controversy of global warming. Politicians have even used the issue to boost their campaigns. Some question whether the earth’s temperature is rising at an unusual rate. Scientists perform experiments from glacial ice to observe the correlation between carbon dioxide levels and temperature. Scientists have changed the debate over the years from debating whether global warming was actually happening to the current debate about what is causing global warming. Therefore, the term global warming in this paper refers to

Most people have heard about the heating of the planet at some point. It is an almost inevitable topic of conversation. However, in a survey done on YouGov.com, it was found that only 36% of Americans believe that global warming is a serious issue (Global Survey Dahlgreen), and, based on another survey done by Monmouth university, only 70% admit that it is happening at all. (Monmouth University). However, global warming is a huge issue in the world, one that will only get worse if we continue to ignore it.

In the Middle Ages, the prevailing theory, backed by the church, was that Earth was the center of the universe, and all other bodies revolved around it. This idea, proposed by Ptolemy, was widely accepted and supported until Nicolaus Copernicus published his theory “on the revolutions of the heavenly bodies”. Copernicus’s version of our solar system put the sun at the center, with all other planets circling it. This idea prevailed, and is now known to be true.

1. According to man's view of science, the Intelligent Design theory, though proven plausible, doesn't fall under the category of scientific; but the theory of evolution is quickly considered scientific while there are no evidences of its existence.

In Copernicus’ time a theory knows as the Geocentric theory was popular. This idea stated that the earth was at the center of our solar system. While in school Copernicus realized that there was a lot of evidence against the Geocentric theory. So he composed a new theory that he thought made more sense. He called it the Heliocentric theory. This theory proclaimed that the sun was

The Heliocentric theory was developed once Copernicu realized that the Geocentric theory had defied certain ancient views, as well as realizing that it was far to complicated for his taste. Once conducting his research he had discovered that the earth was not at all in the center of the universe, “The eyes are witness that the heaven revolve in the space of twenty-four hours. But certain men, either from the love of novelty, or to make a display of ingenuity, have conclude that the earth moves and they maintain that neither the eighth sphere [of the fixed stars] nor the sun revolves...”. It was then discovered that the earth was not in the center and in its place was the sun, with it following Mercury, Venus, Earth; with the moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. In contradiction, of Ptolemy's Geocentric system which consisted of the earth in the center, followed by the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Firmament, Crystalline Sphere, Prime mover and Empyrean Heaven. Nonetheless, these finding were discovered, and put into Copernicus book, On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres, they were not out until before his death. With the fear of being embarrassed by other astronomers Copernicus book was not published until May 1543, before his death. After the people got a taste of these findings many questions had risen such as

Think of a person riding downhill on a bicycle that has no brake on the wheels, and who knows that there is a large glass plate placed vertically somewhere across the way. The person is sensible enough to predict that if he continues to enjoy this ever accelerating ride, he is going to collide against the invisible glass plate in a short interval. But he is so deeply content on this ride that even after the knowledge of a certain accident ahead unless he jumps out of the bicycle, he is willing to go a bit farther for his personal fulfillment. Today, we face a similar situation in which we are seemingly unwilling to help ourselves out of a possibly disastrous problem of global temperature rise.

The Copernican Revolution involves the exchange of a “geocentric” worldview to a “heliocentric” view and is inseparably linked to the “scientific revolution” of the seventeenth century movement that represents a renewal of all scientific knowledge of the time. Contrary to popular belief, the “idea that the Earth was round” was written by many ancient Greek texts, and was supported by many philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Eratosthenes and Ptolemy, among others. (Cohen, 30) During the

Many claim that global warming is obvious and that all arguments against global warming fall. The problem is that what is “obvious” often isn’t true. “A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.” This is the Webster dictionary definition of Global Warming, which basically says that due to an overflow of harmful and hazardous chemicals in the air that it is creating a danger zone for the earth. This is because these chemicals are increasing the earths’ temperature. Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish scientist was the first person to claim that in 1896 that fossil fuel combustion may
