Did you know that the global sea level increased by about eight inches since 18701? This resulted because of global warming. Scientists and environmentalists have announced to people around the world about how global warming is starting to take effect on us, but a few people think it is a deluded hoax. These people are the conspiracy theorists who believe that the scientists and environmentalists are trying to manipulate our minds into thinking that we should do whatever they instruct us to do. Even though this theory seems feasible, global warming is still considered destructive environmentally and morally. The official belief of global warming is that the pollution created by humans increased the temperature by 0.8 degrees Celsius since …show more content…

According to conspiracy theorists, the term global warming is made up by scientists to deceive citizens by making them pay higher taxes for coal products and petrol5. This is a way for scientists and environmentalists to secretly earn money whilst manipulating the data supporting the claims to the increases of the earth’s temperature. In 2009, there was a scandal where emails of climate scientists containing documents were hacked and posted onto the web showing false information and insufficient evidence about global warming6,7.

The chance of survival would be lowered because there is no one around to care and watch over for you. Also, as years go by, I feel that the usage of automobiles have increased by a lot. The exhaust emissions have contributed to the air pollution immensely, so that the air in Vancouver and the air in China are on two different levels. China has more than 114 million cars that are used every day9. Imagine all of the car emissions in china being placed into a building the size of Van Tech. The visibility would be zero and inhaling a tiny bit would lead to very serious sicknesses. People can help lower the pollution by riding bikes and conserve energy at
