Global Warming: Fact or Fiction
I don’t know whether to believe global warming really exists or whether it’s all a bunch of hooey. My husband has been saying all along that it’s a crock and just another way for the media to scare people. And, he has some valid points. For instance, records show for the first time since 2001 temperatures in the U.S. and across the globe were the coolest from December 2007 to February 2008. Does that sound like global warming? I’m no scientist, but it makes one wonder…
One day scientists claim our precious water caps are melting and the climate is warming. The next day their peers say there is no global warming. I’m starting to believe it’s all B.S.
The truth is the climate is warming, but not everywhere. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, some parts of the globe are actually cooling. But, in countries like North America, there is a warming trend. As we populate, we generate more heat.
While most scientific societies agree global warming is a real threat, there are those who argue against it. A group of international scientists have used satellite imagery to show how global warming is changing and threatening Earth’s landscape. At the same time, their own colleagues say new studies show our oceans aren’t warming at all.
Who do you believe and why?
