Global Warming Deniers
Back in 2007, the IPCC discovered certainty of 90% that emissions of heat trapping gases from humans caused the most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid 20th century. This conclusion was discovered after six years of work done by 2,500 scientific expert reviewers from 130 different countries. Now who’s to argue that??
These so called “Global warming Deniers” think that the rising average temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century, and continually rising, is NOT caused by human activity. What leads them to believe this? A familiar few Global Warming deniers have stated such claims:
“A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I’m not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.” Sarah Palin, the former Governor of Alaska
“Despite it being bitterly cold outside in the northern plains, we hear a lot about global warming. Is there another side to this story? Many scientists would say yes, but most media outlets- the mainstream media – only cover Al Gore’s ‘Earth as a Fever’ perspective. This is the worst winter in some parts of America and around the world and perhaps we should be worried now about global cooling.” Steve Doocy, FOX News Anchor; March 2008
“We are now cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I use my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process.” Michael Steele, Republican Committee Chairman; March 20, 2009
“With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the noble committee should take the noble prize back from Al Gore.” In February Donald Trump talked about snow, being a popular argument for climate change critics proving that global warming is a myth. Donald Trump
Climate lobbyists, corporate lobbyists, conservative politicians, front groups and free market anti-government organizations are the ones who try and affect public opinion and policy on global warming.
The Huffington Post conducted a survey of Americans who thought that climate change is related to pollution caused by humans. It’s at it’s lowest point in the past three years with only 57% of Americans believing that global warming is caused by humans, since Al Gore’s film was released in 2006 with a 77% belief.
Anthropogenic climate change is another way to refer to human-caused global warming. Industrializing, deforesting, and polluting are all things we do to our atmosphere, increasing all greenhouse gases that trap heat near earth’s surface. We’re pouring CO2 into the atmosphere WAY too quickly before the plants and oceans can even absorb it. Even if we stopped this problem right now, it would still linger on for years after. I personally believe that we are the cause of global warming, and must start taking action against it now before we leave a mess for our grand children, and destroy our planet more and more every day. What do you think? Do you believe we are the main cause to global warming, or do you object like the above deniers? Post your comments! I want to know what you guys are thinking too 🙂
