Scientists-Skeptics

In modern America few problems prove to be as fundamentally problematic as the theory of human induced global warming. Its repeated coverage from within the media and political arena are influencing people worldwide, putting those who think differently in an outcast shadow. The truth of the matter is, to not believe in human induced global warming has become politically incorrect and unacceptable in the public eye. The theory of human induced global warming can be defined as the rise in temperature through human pollution of greenhouse gases resulting in catastrophic alterations in the earth 's environment. However, human pollution of greenhouse gases is so minor that it is not a contribution to the

Even scientists who think human activity is the main cause of climate change don't deny that natural changes will cause temperature fluctuations on Earth. However, their argument is that in the current cycle of climate change, the impact caused by man is far greater. But there’s no indication that the two sides of the climate change debate will reach any common ground in the near future on what scientific evidence is showing, or what policy decisions should be adopted.

Climate change has been a subject of discussion in the media for many years, supported with the use of arguments against oil polluting the environment and extreme scare tactics of Polar ice caps flooding civilians backyards. The issue has been ignored by the majority of lay people as seeming too complicated, and with all the conflicting information in the media in the past, who can blame them? However, scientifically, climate change and what perpetrates it is fairly simple to understand and society as a whole is beginning to come to a clear consensus on climate change. Thanks in part to more readily available forms of media and information, people have become cognizant of the fact that climate change is a legitimate problem which requires immediate amelioration. While this may seem melodramatic, society is realizing that climate change is an issue which can no longer be denied if the human race wishes to continue.

Throughout the years climate change has been a controversial issue affecting individuals worldwide; climate change has been debated by scientists including the rest of the world. Many factors can affect climate change such as biological factors and human actions. The intricate details are what go unnoticed and unmanaged, people may be greatly against this claim. However, it is underlying factors, like landfills and driving cars, that help maintain the increasing temperature of the earth thus, climate change has become a controversial topic. There have been concerns that climate change does not exist but there is reliable proof that it does even if many scientists do not agree on the existence of climate change.

As Earths average temperature increases every year, the discussion of climate change has become a significant topic in the scientific community. Human activities such as powering factories, running automobiles or something as simple as burning wood for heat, emit dangerous greenhouse gases. What makes these greenhouse gases so detrimental is that they absorb the heat radiating off of Earth and keep it in the lower atmosphere creating a “blanket” of warmth around the Earth’s surface. This causes a drastic increase in the Earths average temperature. Due to the rise in temperature, the polar caps have been melting faster than ever, this is dangerous not only because of the risk of floods and sea level increase but ocean water will become less saline and ecosystems will be destroyed, impacting humans just as much as marine life. In the article, Understand faulty thinking to tackle climate change by George Marshall, Marshall states that most people in our world today do not care about climate change because it will not affect them, “Which points to the real problem: climate change is exceptionally amorphous, … no deadlines, no geographic location, no single cause or solution.” (Marshall 2014). Because the author makes it clear that climate change is indeed a great plight, and fails to be acknowledged by people, it is a significant matter that should be discussed

With the rise of calamitous news regarding extremists groups taking over certain states, countries threatening to go to war, and viruses spreading throughout the world; the outlook of humanity does not look good. In addition to these dire headlines is the matter of climate change, which, unfortunately, is not as alarming to the public eye. Nonetheless, climate change is a pressing matter as it will impact every facet of society from economy to even human survival. Perhaps the general public find climate change as a vapid subject because of its nature to react belatedly to human activity, and how it is often represented with numbers, graphs, and projections; things that are not compelling to those that do not understand its importance. Even

These last two election cycles have demonstrated the importance of climate change in relation to politics and the american people. What is unfortunate is that what seems to be a very crucial and real problem in our human survival, according to scientists, is being debated by people who do not have the scientific credentials to even discuss the science behind the reality of climate change. Those behind the skeptics, have funded a successful campaign against the reality of the facts and have introduce doubt into the sciences.

Over the past few years, a very controversial topic that many scientists believe is a problem has been growing in discussion. The problem is climate change and global warming. Many people believe that climate change is only affecting the ice caps and polar bears; those people could not be more wrong. Climate change is affecting everyone. Climate change and global warming are not the same thing, but are closely related. This is a problem that most everyone in the world is in some way contributing to climate change; a solution must be found sooner rather than later. Climate change will ruin the earth one day if not stopped.

The idea that climate change and global warming are hoaxes is quite possibly the most dangerous thing facing the world. Without acceptance and action, the problem and negative practices of several regions will only exasperate the already to real problem; the world’s climate is changing at an insurmountable rate, and it will take a global effort to reverse or even slow

We are all well aware of climate change and the consequences that follow it, aren't we? Melting polar ice caps, disappearance of bees, greenhouse gases, extinction of animals - the list goes on. The world’s top scientists, including Stephen Hawking, all agree that climate change is one of the biggest threats facing our world and if we don’t act now to try to prevent it, things could spiral out of control.

The technological advances that are occurring just within the 21st century has given scientists resources to collect overwhelmingly accurate evidence showing global climate change is occurring. This has led to an ongoing and problematic controversial debate whether climate change is real or a hoax. The environmental issues that are taking place due to the effects of climate change are large, the solutions to these problems will vastly change human’s lifestyles and be costly. Climate change denial is supported due to politics, the fear of losing jobs in coal and agricultural occupations, and the control corporations have over

People usually get into a long conversation or avoid the argument in the first place when they talk about Climate Change or Global Warming. In fact, climate change is one of the most debatable subjects in the modern era. In addition, there are different views about this subject. One is from the scientific community prospect, which they believe in this phenomenon. On the other hand, there is the skepticism of the economists and investors, especially who work for large oil and gas corporations and real estates to protect their financial status. Primarily, the phenomenon of climate change represents the rapid increase of the global surface temperature. Climate Change is real because there are

Climate change is the change in the average weather for an area or state over many years. Earth’s climate has been changing from warmer periods to cooler periods and vice versa. Events that support this change is when the “volcanic eruption and outgassing increased the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and brought the Earth out of its ‘snowball’ stage several million years ago.” (Hetherington, R., & Reid, R. G., 2010) As well as when the “continental drift broke up the largest land masses, slowly affecting climate, because the sea acted as a heat buffer and because of the redistribution of ocean currents.” (Hetherington, R., & Reid, R. G., 2010) Recently, Earth’s climate has been in a warming stage where “its average temperature has risen a little more than one degree Fahrenheit during the past 100 years.” (May, S.) Human activities have created an increasingly negative effect on the environment and are now causing the earth to go through a period of global warming. While climate change is a pressing issue, it is also a very politically-charged and controversial one. As Berkeley Professor Andrew T. Guzman wrote, “To believe that human behavior is causing warming is to betray one side of the political divide, and to reject that notion is to betray the other” (Guzman, A. T., 2013). However, if we can’t admit that human activity is responsible for the recent climate changes, then the Earth will be negatively impacted. Although natural causes have been responsible for

For many years scientists, along with concerned patrons, have been contemplating climate change and what dangers it presents to human kind. Climate change refers to the variation in normal weather patterns caused due to pollution. “Environmental pollution refers to the contamination of ecosystem and the surrounding atmosphere by different forms of pollutants (Chemicals and energies)” (omcis.org). Environmental pollution and climate is becoming a more substantial concern worldwide as the years go on. Numerous studies have been ran throughout the years showing statistical reasoning behind the environmental changes. Environmentalists debate about what the leading cause is and what we are able to do to stop such turmoil.

“If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems” Michael Franti. Nevertheless climate change has been an ongoing under addressed problem the world continues to face. If climate change continues it will result in seriously fatal problems such as economic loss and illness, stronger storms, food and clean water shortages.
