Fox News never fails
to spark debate over any range of subjects.
Ever since the climate change and global warming debate
started, there have been two sides. On
one hand, global warming and climate change are man made. On the other hand, global warming and climate
change are caused by natural forces.
This debate with Bill Nye the Science Guy and Joe Bastardi on the O’Reilly Factor clearly shows the two sides. Here is the debate.
Regardless of who you think presented their arguments
better, it is important to know that the temperature of the planet has been
increasing. I believe that global
warming is a result of humans’ actions. Also,
it is important to work together as a global community to reduce human
behaviors that effect climate change. UC Davis professor Dr. Mark Lubell predicts eventually “people will participate in global warming activism.” In order for the effects of global warming and climate change to be
reduced scientists must gather the evidence needed to convince the skeptics. Once people are convinced that the global
warming and climate change are a result of man, society must come together the
help the planet. The image below shows the
cycle of change that is required to raise awareness and slow the effects of man
made global warming and climate change.
Former Prime Minister of Australia John Howard said to The Huffington Post in 2006, “I think the weight of scientific
evidence suggests that there are significant and damaging growths in the levels
of greenhouse gas emissions and that unless we lay the foundation over the
years immediately ahead of us to deal with the problem, future generations will
face significant penalties and will have cause to criticize our failure to do
something substantial in response.” Together, as a society, we must take global warming and climate change seriously.
This is a great and informative post regarding the debate between whether global warming and climate change is caused by man or by natural forces. Personally I feel like it is a combination of both, but at the same time people I also feel like there is too much attention given on the debate instead of trying to fix the issue itself. If we look online, there are thousands of articles and videos and websites dictating what we can do to help or at least attempt to, yet collectively as a whole, we are not really doing anything about it. Maybe what we really need is for people to be promoting it even more in the media, and emphasizing the impact that it can have if we don't take action.
