Welcome
back my fellow learners, today we are going to learn about global
warming, fact or fiction?
The
study of our mother earth’s history is not a subject to be taken
lightly. We have to know more if we hope to salvage the environmental
crises which now faces the human race.
Now a
days you can hardly turn on the television, open a newspaper or
online, without being getting confronted with global warming
predictions. In his 2006, Al Gore the former U.S Vice President
hosted an Oscar winning documentary named An Inconvenient Truth,
warning us that global warming is a strong and imminent threat to the
earth, and painted an alarming picture with which mankind will
ultimately destroy all life on earth. However, will mankind suffer
the heat of global warming, or will we face another ice age?
No
matter what mankind faces, one thing is clear, and that is global
warming is a complex and emotionally charged problem, which most
people want to ignore and pretend does not exist. New claims appear
in the press with mind numbing regularity, leaving many people unsure
what to believe any more. However, one thing is glaringly clear, and
that is if the human race does not sit up and do something about the
way we are destroying mother earth, mother earth will eventually
throw us off her back.
If a
scientist believes in the billions of years of earth history, they
will assume, for instance, that polar ice needed thousands of years
to build up to what it is today. Scientists that believe in the
account of Noah’s Flood, believe ice appeared shortly after the
Flood. Depending on their notions, equally skilled scientists do
reach different conclusions.
In the
global warming debate, it is vital to separate fact from what people
want to interpret. We hear a great deal about Co2 emission, and
greenhouse gases, but we hardly every hear the facts which are
behind the hype.
We as a
race have to face up to the fact, that if we don't do something soon,
then there will be nothing left to leave to our future children.
Expect a distant memory of what it used to be like before greed and
industry destroyed everything.
