The Astounding and Indisputable Surrounding Scientific Evidence Global Warming

Supporters of the Global Warming Hoax claim that climate change is not due to human activities, instead it is produced with biased data for the purpose of financial or political gain. In this paper, nine sources, including reports from organizations, a speech from a senator, news articles and blog posts, are presented to discuss . These sources come from three perspectives: 1. Those who support the idea of global warming as a hoax; 2. Those who support the idea of global warming as a reality; 3. Academics who provide data and research relating to the issue.

Global warming is defined “as an increase in the average temperature of global surface air and oceans since about 1950” (White). The global warming controversy is an ongoing dispute with two main sides; one stating that the direct cause to global warming is through people’s daily activities and the burning of fossil fuels, while other people all around the world refuse to believe that human contributions are the main cause, saying that the earth is going through a natural stage of climatic change, thereby resulting in increasing temperatures in the earth’s atmosphere. Rising temperatures and in increase in greenhouse gases shown through the carbon cycle, demonstrate how the greenhouse effect is incorporated into both views on global warming. Over the past 50 years, experts in this field world-wide have been having an unaccountable amount of disputes over global warming, favoring in either of these positions of human causation or natural climatic change.

Climate change is a global issue that is under an endless debate for its causes. The increase in the global mean annual surface air temperature in the previous century by 0.75C (IPCC 2007) in coincidence with the excess of the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere from 289 to 353 ppm (Lean et al. 1995) by burning fossil fuels support the human-induced hypothesis of climate change. On the other hand, the protestors of the natural origin of climate change build their argument on the variations of solar radiation and volcanic activities (Rind and Overpeck 1993). Meehl et al. (2005) report that the global warming will continue in this century, even if the greenhouse gasses are stabilized. This reveals that the climate change is

Global warming is a controversial topic, widely discussed among today’s society. It is significant because it deals with the opinions and beliefs of many individuals. It also creates controversy and provides society with the opportunity to express itself and its beliefs. Many people believe that the conditions of the climate have no correlation to human behavior and that nowadays, people exaggerate the impacts of climate change. However, these individuals fail to recognize the truth behind the topic. Global warming is both a real and serious threat to our existence that humans must address by altering their actions and behaviors.

Global Warming has been a very serious conversation over the last decade, because it affects every person living on the planet whether we choose to believe it or not. Most of the scientific community claims that global warming is to blame for the changes in Earth’s climate. However, there are a small number of scientists who deny the very existence of global warming. Temperatures on earth have increased approximately 1.4°F since the early 20th century. Over time, atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) have notably increased. Both sides in the debate surrounding global climate change agree on the CO2 and CH4 being increased and that’s it.

The world is full of controversial topics. One topic has been discussed for nearly decades among the American people. The conversation on the matters of climate change has plagued the nation. Americans have set a record high for the level of concern toward climate change. Up eight percentage points, an average of forty-five percent of Americans are greatly worried about climate change and the effects that it will have on the earth (Gallup 2017). Recently, the cause of climate change has become a hot topic. Climate change can be generally defined as the changing weather patterns over a long period of time. Usually when people discuss global warming, they are actually referring to climate change since global warming is the change in the temperature of earth’s surface, one factor in climate change. Other factors of climate change include but are not limited to: changes in precipitation, severe weather patterns, and changes in the earth’s oceans. A definite answer to how these changing factors, or whether these changes are occurring, has not been presented, but that does not mean that there have not been attempts. Many people and groups of people have offered their personal opinions. Some simply share opinions with the partisan, political, group they belong to while some spend countless hours researching to form their own opinions. This has led to a melting pot of conflicting opinions. The American people have created a divide among themselves by arguing over whether climate

Alleged Global Warming has been a hot topic and been widely reported in the American media since the 1970s. In March 2014, TED, a nonprofit committed to expanding ideas with short talks, gave a powerful presentation of the alleged current consequences of Global Warming in Gavin Schmidt’s (2014) talk: The emergent patterns of climate change. His claims are stark and he implores his audience to take the grave predictions of Global Warming seriously and not just write it off as insignificant. While Google Trends (2014) shows (graph 1) that search terms for global warming in the United States (red) have decreased while worldwide (blue) interest (image 1) fluctuates with India showing the most curiosity. Yet, not everyone agrees that Global

One of the first indicators of global warming when it was first discovered and discussed was the acknowledgment of rising sea levels. In many climate change and apocalypse movies the rising of the ocean is the downfall of the population of the planet. The topic about the rising sea levels was not always indisputable. When the topic of climate change was first brought up it was mostly known as global warming and connected to the greenhouse effect. The notion of oceans raising above sea level was once widely seen as controversial. New York Times articles from 1980s until now show the development of the debate on rising sea levels through time and the the further development of science. There has been a change in The New York Times reporting on the issues of rising sea levels caused by the climate change from doubt about it in the 1980’s to confirmation of the problem in 2010’s.

There have been some debates recently within the political and scientific communities of global warming: if it's real, what’s causing it, and what we can do to stop it. There are many natural factors such as water vapour or variations in the sun’s energy that could be causing global warming; but, there is also evidence that is man made by rising carbon dioxide emissions.

People usually get into a long conversation or avoid it in the first place when they talk about climate change. 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. Despite some people calling climate change a hoax, there are strong

The issue of anthropogenic climate change, more commonly identified as global warming, has become hotly debated in the media and political arenas. Critics argue that global warming does not exist and that it is merely a fiction created by the science community. Such critics argue further that what scientists are describing as global warming is either a transitory condition or part a cyclical situation that has occurred throughout history. As a result of this critical opposition the question becomes global warming is a problem that needs immediate and/or long term attention? What the critics of global warming are failing to consider is the mountains of evidence provide by the scientific community that supports the fact that global warming is a reality and that it is human behavior that has caused this condition and it is only human behavior that can remedy the situation. Within the scientific community there is little disagreement that global warming is a serious problem.

Global warming is an issue which many people, experts or not, have an opinion on and the controversy over its validity has led to two distinct factions: those who believe it is influenced by human actions and those who believe it arises from natural causes. One major consequence of disputing scientific evidence and research that supports anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change due to global warming is the slowing or halting of progress towards better environmental policies. Several special interest groups and leading politicians have created doubt among the public about the reality of global warming, and it is alarming that there are scientists who also support these views and

In the 1980’s, scientists discovered three important pieces of information that would shape American politics and the environment for years to come. The Earth was getting warmer, the warming was caused by human pollution to the air and sea, and future generations would suffer (Hansen). Few believed these environmentalists at first, but as science progressed, the signs that climate change was a real threat became more and more apparent. Today, the debate on climate change is a popular topic, especially in national politics. Although one may assume the first step to fixing these environmental problems is to talk about it, evidence shows that political debate over the issue actually masks it

The majority of the scientific community has agreed that global warming is real, and the major culprit in this crime is humans. Yet there are some organizations who consider global warming a myth, some have argued that there has been a reduction in the rising of the global temperature, consequently causing civilians to refute the idea of the earth “warming”. This false information has led to little or no coverage about this issue; subsequently producing little or no solutions to this problem ravaging the place we call home. Among the major effects of global warming are the acidification of the ocean, the increase in drought and heat waves, and the continued warming of the ocean.

The greenhouse effect takes a major role in global warming as the balance of natural causes towards the earth’s weather and surroundings. (See figure 4). An article discovered on the web stimulates the explanation of the greenhouse effect stating, “Climate change is due to the enhancement of the Earth's greenhouse effect, which is caused by emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap heat in the
