Global Warming is not an issue

That same data will show that it is human beings who are causing the problem. Pollution from cars, industry and the burning of fossil fuel all have a dramatic impact on the environment which goes far beyond the expected fluctuations in the world’s temperature.

In fact, looking at the past 200 years proves nothing, for this is the period after the Industrial Revolution, when technological development began to influence the environment on a large scale. If we could look at the last hundred thousand years or so we would see absolute evidence that we are responsible for global warming.

The sea level has been rising at an ever increasing pace due to industrialisation and consequent environmental pollution. Prior to the beginning of the 19th century the sea level had remained constant for close to 3000 years, but since then it has been accelerating, with rises of 1-2mm a year during the twentieth century increasing to over 3mm in recent years. While these numbers might seem small, the effects can be devastating; we have seen for ourselves the destruction caused by flooding in areas such as Bangladesh. With the world’s population increasing, land becomes an ever more precious commodity: we cannot afford to lose much of it to a rising sea level.

Scientists predict that due to global warming there will be worse storms than we have had before. This seems borne out by the difficult winter conditions in the U.S.: compared to previous years the amount of snow fall was off the charts. Climate change and global warming does not mean that the planet will increase in temperature uniformly. It means that we are likely to see increasingly extreme weather patterns and changes in what has been the norm for decades. If you look at phenology reports you will see that bird migration patterns are altering and that seasons are changing when they start and end. The increase in adverse weather, not just in the U.S. but globally, will continue. In the UK the South East will continue to get dryer and the North West with continue to get wetter: the tendency to flooding which has already been seen in the North West will get worse. This will have adverse effects on the local flora and fauna as well as on the human population.

If we consider the extent to which the essential components of our modern lifestyle contribute to environmental change, then it is evident that global warming continues to be a very big problem. Looking at the amount of cars, trucks, and other vehicles on the planet and the amount of CO2 being put into the air by our need for transport, it is clear that there are no easy solutions. Even the food we eat is causing climate change: livestock is the biggest contributor to CO2 emissions, producing 19 percent of all CO2 that goes into the atmosphere. We would need to cut back on our meat consumption in order to halt the progress of global warming.

There might be new cars that are designed to decrease their CO2 output, but what about the need for fuel in other situations? The people that can’t buy the new cars have to use older models, plus the amount of people with cars these days is scary. It is common to have two or three vehicles per household. Thus the demand for fuel is as high as ever. The economic development of nations such as India now means that more people can afford to be personally mobile; hence there is an even greater demand for oil. Though alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power are increasingly used to meet society’s need, they are not yet widespread or efficient enough to reduce the burning of fossil fuels to an acceptable level.

Due to rising temperature levels the environment for polar bears is disappearing. Their food sources, seals and fish, are being driven out of their polar habitat by the warmer climate, leaving them vulnerable. Though species do evolve in response to their changing environment, evolution in long-lived species takes centuries. We are, however, likely to see evolution in species that have a short life cycle, such as arthropods. Migratory species, such as butterflies, are changing their migration patterns in response to global warming. Butterflies that were found in the southern parts of the planet are being forced to move further north in order to find the right climate for their continued survival.

Nature has always adapted itself to cope with its evironment, a single tree facing a man made object blocking its growth path will adapt itself around the object and eventually overcome this with tremendous strenth we’ve all seen roads and solid concrete pushed aside like its nothing for roots to continue to spread and some of the worlds best scientists have been left scratching their heads as to the speed that nature has repaired itself in places like chernobyl after tremendous pollution caused by man. We see evidence all the time that nature is a force much more powerfull than man and over time nature will overcome anything we throw at it.
