Global Warming Fiction and Fantasy

Global Warming The Inconvenient Truth or Deception




In late 2009 the scientific world was rocked by a streamline of emails that made its way from one of the top scientific research facilities in Europe to the mainstream media. Weather you are a liberal or a conservative, The content of the emails was most shocking leading some to believe that Global Warming was in deed a fallacy or just a group of corrupt scientist that simply fudged the number.

There are always two sides to every debate, unfortunately this is such a heated and intense debate that it has even been taken on by some very important political buffs. On one side of the fight you have the liberal point of view that calls for immediate action and intervention aided by the federal government. Leading the way is Al Gore and his Inconvenient truth,a film that won a academy award for its ominous but seemingly truthful storyline. No matter what the agenda most of the population watched and formed a opinion that they were somehow behind this global warming scare and that it was up to them along with the federal government in order to change it.

Of course on the other side of the aisle you have the conservative point of view. This idea believes that government intervention is a waste of time and more importantly money, a idea that is prevalent among all conservatives that a decrease in government spending and small central government is a head in the right direction. Most conservatives can even point to the newly introduced bill in the United States Congress which has been named " Cap and Trade" or as some have come to call it "Cap and Tax" which aims on having companies purchase pollution credits in a energy exchange and puts a cap on the on industries that emit the worst pollutants or produce fossil fuels. In a Story written by Ken Calvert of Press Enterprise named " Cap and Tax bill would slam families and drain economy" the author illustrates that the 1200 pages bill is simply taxes on the American family along with the rise of fossil fuels. Is this the Government intervention that we need. Especially in a time when families across the U.S are barely scraping by. Would more taxes on and higher Fuel prices be the right thing to pursue. Is this Ethical? Is this Moral? To the current administration its " the right thing to do". Is it the right thing to do?

When you have a argument that is based on science it can be a very touch and go subject. You can have a scientist that can fudge the numbers in either way. In a fox news report titled " Arctic Ice growing not shrinking" doesn't this article go against the science that was burned in to the back of our minds when we saw the huge chunks of ice fall into the water in Al Gores depiction of Global Warming. Both are backed by scientific data, but which one are we supposed to chose or believe. Science is something that can always be proved and disproved with time. We may never know what the real causes are to Global Warming is so i leave it to the conscience of the reader, to debate whether we are just going through one of the many cycles that the earths atmosphere has gone through or that humans are the direct cause of Global Warming
