Pros And Cons Of Global Warming

Good Essays

The real inconvenient truth is this: people do not cause global warming. The Earth is naturally warming itself, and this is sending humankind into a panic. Even if people were causing global warming, there are many more advantages to the warming climate than disadvantages. Why scientists are taking this issue and blowing it out of proportions is baffling. There are many different ways to look at the argument, and few turn to actual science. The Earth may be warming, but this natural phenomenon may not be as catastrophic as widely believed.
The Earth itself, as well as the Sun, is going through a natural cycle. It is easy to blame the warming Earth on the human output of carbon dioxide because it is a much simpler cause and effect. From 1300 to 1800, the planet went through something called a Little Ice Age. It began warming back up before we started increasing carbon dioxide emissions. So, “trying to prove man made global warming by comparing the fact that it is warmer today than the Little Ice Age is like comparing summer to winter to show catastrophic temperature change” (“Is”). The Earth is just trying to catch back up from that period of cold. The planet went through another temperature shift around 1940, “just as CO2 emissions rose sharply, global temp[erature] began a decline that lasted until the 1970’s, prompting media and scientists to fear a coming ice age” (“Is”). If human emission was the cause, there would not be proof of the opposite. According to doomsday
