Is Global Warming Fact or Fiction?
Posted by ecoble under Natural Environment, Various Ecobles
Is global warming a myth or a fact? Or is the entire term misleading and should climate change by the phrase of choice instead? The site 42Explore provides a great introduction to the issue of global warming, both an ‘easy’ and a ‘hard’ version, as well as numerous reputable resources for further reading and discussion.
This website on global warming - fact or fiction is dedicated to a balanced discussion about global warming and the site is broken down into convenient categories relating to various pertinent environmental issues. The site has also been praised by the scientific community despite the author’s own limited professional background and formal education related to climate issues.
A student’s take on the issue is not always the most informed but can sometimes lend legible insight to complex questions. Whether successful or not this study looks at climate models in an attempt to produce a balanced perspective on the question of climate change
This fact or fiction article presents and then systematically debunks a number of typical arguments against man-made global climate change. Of course any article would be remiss not to include albeit tenuous counterarguments that suggest that the global climate changes we are experiencing aren’t tied to human activity.

I think, that simplicity of the term ‘global warming’ is just perfect. Every body could understand it, not only a very narrow class of scientific society.
‘Global understanding’ of this very fact of ‘global warming’ and its regular comprehension in an average human mind are two conditions, which should be achieved as naturally as possible, if we wanted to address these real threats and real global changes, which are happening every day around the globe.

i don’t like global warming as much as the next guy, but i think that it is a natural thing that will eventually happen anyways. as for people say that global warming needs to be stopped… i belive that they are wrong. The earth has already gone into, and out of ice ages before industries and greenhouse gasses were a problem. Yes, i understand that they are speeing up the process, but, how far were we from it in the first place? i am all for reducing emissions, and saving the ozone, but when people are flipping out about how they need to be stopped right now….just chill….nature will take its course, and that will be that, wether we impact it or not, the glaciers will melt, the climate will change, and the world will still keep spinning. i bet by the time we get in trouble with climate change, we will have already polluted our land with so much garbage, and chemicals, that it will become impossible to grow crops, food proces will rise, people will starve, and life will be a struggle. and if we do not pollute our land to the point of infertility, we will over populate the earth and still end up with people strving, prices rising duie to high demand, and life will again be a struggle.
