Global Warming Exaggerated
According to Live Science, global warming is used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth 's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth 's climate forever. The scientific consensus on climatic changes to global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 Cto 0.8 C over the past 100 years (as cited in Live Science, n.d.).
In the article from the American Policy Roundtable Arguments against Global Warming, many claim that global warming is obvious and that all arguments against global warming fall. The problem is that what is "obvious" often isn 't true. Concern over global warming is overblown and misdirected. More than 17,000 scientists have signed a petition circulated by the Oregon Institute of Science saying in part, "there in no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the forseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth 's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth 's climate. Satellite readings of temperatures in the lower troposphere show no warming since readings began 23 years ago. These readings are accurate within 0.01 C, and are consistent with data from weather balloons. Only land-based temperature stations show a warming trend, and these stations do not cover the entire globe, and often contaminated by heat generated by nearly urban development, and are subject to human error (cited in American Policy Roundtable, n.d.).
When it comes to government and industrial leaders, a certain number of these are not being honest to citizens about the amount of pollution the industries and countries create. According to Exact Weather, from an article called "Hysteria", all the main players - from politicians and scientists to big corporations and the United Nations - benefit from instilling fear into billions of human beings over the unproven theory of
