Global Warming and Climate Change - Fact or Fiction: #1

Clayt Sheridan, 2nd
Global warming has become perhaps the most controversial issue facing world leaders. Warnings from some of the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests.

However, the technological, economic and political issues that have to be resolved before a concerted worldwide effort to reduce emissions can begin have gotten no simpler, particularly in the face of a global economic slowdown.

The United Nations has sponsored global talks, known as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. An attempt to blame the USA and other industrial countries  for the global climate change.

The conferences operate on the principle of consensus, meaning that any of the participating nations can hold up an agreement. In recent years, the meetings have often ended in disillusionment.

The negotiating process itself has been under fire from some quarters, including the poorest nations who believe their needs are being neglected in the fight among the major economic powers. Criticism has also come from a growing number of scientists along with many other vocal climate-change skeptics, many of them sitting members of the United States Congress, who doubt the existence of human influence on the climate and ridicule international efforts to deal with it. (Adapted from Environment - New York Times).

The basic premise of the global warming advocates is that humans are the cause of the potential disaster. Their theory is that human kind of the industrial nations are the nasty producers of greenhouse gases.

  • The dictionary meaning of theory is; a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, esp. one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained: • an idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action: my theory would be that the place has been seriously mismanaged. PHRASES in theory used in describing what is supposed to happen or be possible, usually with the implication that it does not in-fact happen: in theory, things can only get better; in practice, they may well become a lot worse.

  • A theory is a supposition that is; an uncertain belief: i.e. they were working on the supposition that his death was murder | their outrage was based on supposition and hearsay.

To put it bluntly, these “experts” really don’t know if their theories regarding global warming are factual. Man kind cannot, will not  destroy the earth to the point that life, as we know it, will be a reality. The thrust of their supposition is that the earth will be destroyed by heat or perhaps burn-up.

We’ll discuss the REAL  FACTS in our next edition of The Plumbline.
