Is Global Warming a Scam - Research Paper Example

Running head: Global warming Is global warming a scam? Global warming is one of the hottest topics in the current world because of the fear about dangerous consequences it can cause to the human generation. Some people believe that the atmospheric temperature rise is not due to manmade activities and global warming is a scam. This paper analyses the global warming topic as a scam Introduction Unexpected natural calamities and atmospheric behaviors forced scientists to think in terms of global warming problems. Since most of the causes of natural calamities like increased atmospheric temperature, increased amount of flood, the sea level rise and the melting of huge ice blocks from the arctic and Antarctic pole regions forced the scientific world to formulate a theory for the cause of global warming. They found that the above natural calamities were due to the increased atmospheric temperature. They attributed the reason for increased atmospheric temperature to the increased amount of carbon dioxide (Co2) like toxic gases in the atmosphere. Since plants were supposed to be the absorbers of carbon dioxide gas the destruction of plants for heavy industrialization has been selected as the main reason for increased amount of carbon dioxide in atmosphere. Moreover the increased amount of automobile vehicles which liberates toxic gases also pointed out as another reason for increased Co2 content in the atmosphere. Modern studies and researches have questioned the above reasons for the global warming problems. “The Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research. A study by Swiss and German scientists suggests that increasing radiation from the sun is responsible for recent global climate changes. Dr Sami Solanki, the director of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, who led the research, said: "The Sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures” (The Global Warming Scam) Global warming scam “Global warming and melting polar ice caps are not just problems here on Earth. Mars is facing similar global changes, researchers say, with temperatures across the red planet rising by around 0.65 degrees over the last few decades.” (The Global Warming Scam) the studies about Mars have revealed many things related to global warming. Mars, which is supposed to be consists of no human generation or industrialization like on earth, also faces the same problem of increased temperature which clearly shows that the culprit for global warming is not from any planets but it is from the sun itself. Further studies have showed that the number of sunspots increased over the last 4 or 5 decades and hence the atmosphere also started to become warmer. “Now, Jupiter has a third red spot, again produced from a smaller whitish storm. ... Jupiters recent outbreak of red spots is likely related to large scale climate change as the gas giant planet is getting warmer near the equator. [NASA]” (The Global Warming Scam) Jupiter’s climate also, undergoing drastic changes as per the reports from NASA. All the activities in Jupiter is controlled by the sun as there are no human controlled activities and hence any climate changes in Jupiter can be attributed to the controller of Jupiter, the sun. “Only .117% of atmospheric carbon dioxide is directly attributable to human technology such as automobiles.” (The Global Warming Scam) This is a small number when we consider the overall amount of carbon dioxide in atmosphere. More over such a small amount of Co2 may not cause such a huge impact in atmospheric temperature. “More than 17,000 scientists have signed a petition circulated by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine saying, in part, “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.” (Bast, 2003) 17000 is a significant number when we consider the total advocates of global warming scandal. Since nothing has proved beyond doubt that the carbon dioxide and other toxic gases causes to the atmosphere. Most of the reliable sources of temperature data show no global warming trend. All predictions of global warming are based on computer models, which is incapable of predicting the history. Global warming data has historical importance and hence it should be analyzed based on the history as well. “A modest amount of global warming, should it occur, would be beneficial to the natural world and to human civilization. Efforts to quickly reduce human greenhouse gas emissions would be costly and would not stop Earth’s climate from changing.” (Bast, 2003) Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. (D’Aleo, 2007) They did so to rob the money in the label of global warming. Even the governments are spending billions of dollars in the researches of global warming. Moreover these scientists succeeded in threatening the world population and thus the governments forced to allocate more money to the researches in this field which were looted by some greedy politicians and scientists. “There has been a long-term reduction of CO2 throughout the 4.5-billion-year history of the Earth. If this tendency continues, eventually our planet may become as lifeless as Mars. Instead of reducing CO2, we should, perhaps, be increasing it” (Kelly, 2005) May be in near future itself we may be forced to formulate strategies for increasing the CO2 content in atmosphere since less CO2 is more dangerous than excess CO2 in atmosphere. Conclusions There is no scientific evidence as such so far to prove that the increased amount of carbon dioxide causing global warming. In fact the amount of increased Co2 in atmosphere caused by human activities is negligible compared to the increase in atmospheric temperature. The changes caused in Sun are the main reason behind the atmospheric temperature increase. It is evident from the climate changes in other planets that sun is the villain, not the human being on earth which causes global warming. The global warming subject is a huge scam developed by some politicians and scientists to rob the wealth of common people. References 1.
