Day 5: Global Warming (Moderate)

-Global warming it is a problem in the world that has everyone contriverting about all over the world. Research has been analyzing past and present record of the ice caps on areas with large ice mass. People have been trying to convince others that we should stop our pollution manufacturing or we will all be doomed with most of our lands underwater. Others say that it doesn’t matter, that the world will stay the way it is if we continue for another century. Both sides give evidences in the argument and theories have been made but none have been proven. Then there’s the third party of moderate, this is where I stand.

--Many articles have been posted about global warming and the cause of it, the article Antarctica Warmed in Past 150 Years, Scientists Say states: "‘Despite recent indications that Antarctica cooled considerably during the 1990s, new research suggests that the world's iciest continent gradually has been warming over the past 150 years. The warming trend was not identifiable in the short-term meteorological records and was masked at the end of the 20th century by large temperature variations, according to a September 5 [2006] University of Washington press release....Using ice cores collected from five different areas, scientists from Australia, Germany and the United States reconstructed a temperature record that shows average Antarctic temperatures have risen 0.2 degree Celsius in 150 years.’" And as for there contributing factor is the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. Which is dissolving our protection against the sun’s dangerous rays. But in the same article it states its own limit on the knowledge of the phenomena.
“The main reason Antarctica seems to have cooled during the 1990s is that a natural phenomenon called the Antarctic Oscillation was largely in its positive phase during that time.” Then states: "‘The caution is that we don't fully understand the feedbacks between overall climate warming and the Antarctic Oscillation," he added. "But having the 200-year record is what convinces us that there is a relationship between Southern Hemisphere temperature changes and Antarctic temperature changes.’" This just proves that they would not really know what will happen and that they still need real events to prove their theories.
Another article that is going against the theory that the world is getting hotter states that what is happening is the exact opposite, not that the world is getting hotter but colder. Remember Global Cooling Why scientists find change so hard to predict climate states: “Even by the time it appeared, a decades-long trend toward slightly cooler temperatures in the Northern hemisphere had already begun to reverse itself—although that wouldn't be apparent in the data for a few years yet—leading to today's widespread consensus among scientists that the real threat is actually human-caused global warming. In fact, as Inhofe pointed out, for more than 100 years journalists have quoted scientists predicting the destruction of civilization by, in alternation, either runaway heat or a new Ice Age.” In the article they even stated that the cause it by man and that it is changing the weather’s climate. Even in the title is say: “Why scientist find change so hard to predict climate.” So if they stated that of what their opposing group said and even said that they can’t predict what is really going to happen.

---No one can really predict what will become of the end when we have reach the limit, even those of are experts cannot say something without the other and so then gives it flaw to their statement. So if neither side can give a whole answer it is unreliable. So until the time comes let us do what ever and believe what ever.
