Global Warming: Is it Really Happening?

For the last decade or so especially, people around the world have been excessively troubled by the fact that global warming could actually be present and about to destroy the lives of everyone on the planet. Of course these people only believe this from facts that they've seen or heard in random places, not information that they've actually gone online or to a library and looked up. Global warming has been outlined as dangerous by some people, and as harmless by others. What people don't know is that the earth actually goes through its cycles every few hundred years, which pretty much counteracts the effects of global warming; humans are not responsible for the effects of it. Global warming is not a threat to the planet because the warmth the planet is experiencing is particularly natural, and is not due to our own environmental actions.

Al Gore has recently become very popular in the field of global warming (Samuelson). Al Gore is an environmental activist, who published his movie An Inconvenient Truth, which was directly related to the effects of global warming (Top Ten Global). In this movie, Al Gore attacks every aspect of global warming. Al Gore points out several statistics about how the world is in immediate danger due to the current rising temperature across the nation. He also points out that the polar ice caps may melt immediately, causing massive floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and several other environmental tragedies. What Al Gore fails to point out, however, is that events like these have happened historically in the planet, because the planet tends to go through these cycles every once in a while, they just happen to rarely be recorded because the last one occurred before what we assumed was our own birth. So just because humans weren't around before the last time the planet went through a hot-cold cycle, does not mean that the planet doesn't go through these cycles and that "global warming" is the fault of all of our own inhabitants of the planet (Samuelson).

Not only does Al Gore fail to see that people aren't causing the extensive amount of global warming, but so do most other people. The truth of the matter is, most of this warmth that the planet conserves is water vapor that's trapped within the ozone. People can't do much about this vapor in the air, it's completely naturally occurring. In fact, people only account for less than 1/2% of all global warming problems, which usually derive from our vehicles and CFC's released. People have very little responsibility in global warming, and also have very little control over the cycles of the earth, and should therefore not attempt to control or stop global warming from occurring.

Since people have very little responsibility in global warming, Al Gore and several other activist's thoughts or ideas behind their "statistics" are quite unclear. It seems as if their ideas are some sort of political scheme. Politicians are deceiving. Everyone knows that politicians tend to twist the truth, usually in attempt to gain popularity. Al Gore may have another motive in mind, however no one can be sure as to what he's aiming for currently.

The real truth of the matter is that global warming as we know it is not occurring. People have very little responsibility in global warming, and have very little control at maintaining or stopping it from occurring. Global warming is not a threat to the planet because the warmth the planet is experiencing is particularly natural, and is not due to our own environmental actions.
