Global Warming: Fact or Fiction
I. History of Global Warming:
For many years the glaciers have been melting and gaining the worlds’ attention.
This has resulted in the rise of over 6 in. in the sea level where as a hundred years ago it was
much lower. This raises the question as to whether global warming is a fact or fiction. Literature
on global warming is comprised mostly on intelligent discussion on having "too much caution on
global warming"(Nature, 1991) or "global warming is real" (Kerr, 1989, p. 603) rather than
fiction. Let me break this down for you people, society is using to much resources and energy in
assuring ourselves that global warming is in fact an issue at all.
A) A driving force for the argument:
1. A debate that global warming is in fact a fiction. The top debate in favor of global
warming being fiction is the lack of scientific evidence connecting the emissions of greenhouse
gases as a result of human activity with global warming(Brown, 2010, p. 26). First and for most
any connection at all is completely uncertain and there is no proof.
2. A debate that global warming is a fact. Then we also have people in today’s
that say global warming is a fact and say that society "have caused a number of environment
issues, such as global warming, ozone depletion, distinction of biological diversity, hazardous
wastes and acid rain, resource depletion and the destruction of ecological system, by overusing
and misallocating the natural resources" (Lee &Hseuh, 2010, p. 111).
