Global Warming: Evaluating Arguments For and Against This Concept

This essay delves into the multifaceted debate surrounding global warming, presenting arguments both in favor of and against the concept. It begins with an introduction to global warming, defining it as the increase in Earth's atmospheric temperature due to greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The essay then explores the scientific evidence supporting global warming, including rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels, while also addressing arguments that dispute the reality or severity of climate change. It examines how human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, contribute to the increase in greenhouse gases. The essay also discusses the perspectives of those who believe global warming is a normal phenomenon and the counterarguments that highlight the potentially catastrophic consequences of inaction. The conclusion reinforces the importance of acknowledging the scientific consensus on global warming, emphasizing that while there might be instances of data manipulation, the overwhelming evidence supports the reality of climate change and the need for immediate action to mitigate its effects.

INTRODUCTION
The overall temperature which is rising of the atmosphere as a result of greenhouse gases
is known as global warming. In the atmosphere of the earth, these molecules consume and then
they store heat. Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and acid make up the majority of the
gases (Masood, 2018). These gases have the largest contribution in the greenhouse effect, in
which vapors insulate the surface of earth so to keep the earth warm. Carbon dioxide has
accumulated in abundance in the atmosphere as a result of activities of human, much of the
consumption of the radiation is from the sun. The environment is expected to release the heat in
bulk amount, but the environment consumes much of it which leads to an increase in the
emission of the greenhouse gas. Many people are ignorant of what exactly the greenhouse gases
is and how they are leading earth to global warming.
MAIN BODY
Since the middle of the twentieth century, emissions which are human-made (due to
various human activities) such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide have been the leading
sources of the changes in the temperature (Chakrabarty, 2017). This was the statistics given by
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which is a body of United Nations and it
helps in providing information relating to the change in climate by assessing science. Statistics
provided by the IPCC indicate that average temperature of the global surface and the average
level of the global sea have been gradually increasing, whereas the snow cover in the hemisphere
of northern has been gradually declining. While on the other hand, no matter how many reports
or statistics are provided or researcher’s research, there are still a lot of people who continue to
accept the fact that global warming is possible. Therefore it can be said that the scientific
experiments that can be reproduced with similar findings are more accurate with the vast
majority of the time. There should be no doubt about the conclusion if consistent results are
obtained each time.
After the industrial revolution, there was a rise in global temperature by 1 degree
Fahrenheit (Roh and Tae, 2017). Only a degree change in the temperature generally is not that
big deal but in case of change in global temperature, it is a concern. The change in temperature
or measurements indicate that with a slight increase in the global temperature, a substantial
volume of snow would not fall. This connection clearly shows that how important temperature

changes can be even if it is very mild, and the situation is only getting worse. There have been
two times in the last decade that the world have had the hottest average temperature which was
ever recorded (Kirchain Jr, Gregory and Olivetti, 2017). Besides that, Mt. Kilimanjaro, as well as
several National Parks with glaciers as their primary landform, have been losing snow very
steadily. Other sites area also seeing the similar effects, such as the Greenland's icecaps, which
are melting at a very alarming rate. When the ice is melting, it sinks into the water, which leads
to the raising the level of sea. According to various study done by scientists, the level of the sea
will be increasing by around 23 inches in the next coming decades. This issues seems to be very
small right now, but if behavior of the human does not get improved, they can become
catastrophic. The main issue is that the humans think that they alone can’t change the climatic
change or temperature of the world so they continue to do their activities which is causing harm
to the environment and on climate. There are millions of people in the whole world who are
driving cars and other vehicles which are all generating or let’s say emitting carbon dioxide
which is harming the climate. Every individual on the earth is considering themselves as one
instead of thinking in a broader sense that all the individual together are contributing to the
global warming. This situation of global warming is not a concern of single person but is of the
whole world.
There are various number of explanations that the people in today's world will support or
deny the principle of global warming. Any analysts argue that the entire "crisis" is a scam,
comparable to Y2K and global warming. Others often believe in the fact that the activists
influenced global warming in order to emotionally manipulate the people into making donations
to them (Hoxha and Jusselme, 2017). Another thing to consider is that the whole global warming
concept is a publicity stunt which was invented by liberals so that they can expand regulation and
empower the big government. In the other hand, others argue that statistics, researches and
studies have shown that global warming is real. Besides that, it is reported that the ice is
continuously melting at the polar ice caps which will soon result in the extinction of the polar
bear living in those region. However, as opposed to all critics who dispute the reality of global
warming, this side uses more of the statistics to make their point. It is observed that People are
against global warming for the sake of attracting attention towards them and because they
despise the Republican Party. The statement that global warming data is skewed and manipulated
in order to reassure the public that the world is in danger is balanced by the argument that global

warming evidence is distorted and inflated in order to persuade the public that the planet is in
danger.
It will be incorrect and false to state that there have been occasions where scientists
distorted data so that the minor issues can further be developed into significant issues (Varela-
Candamio, Novo-Corti and García-Álvarez, 2018). Although there were issues with the
exaggeration of data and its manipulation but only because of few instances of data exaggeration
exist, this does not invalidate any of the other data obtained by different scientists over the years.
Much of the evidence gathered were gathered over the years has been checked by many as
accurate, and any who want to deny global warming should offer credit where credit is due. Facts
are facts, and statistics are statistics. Critics cannot dismiss what is valid simply on the basis that
they wish or expect to conclude that their side of the argument is right.
Some of the people argue that global warming is a normal phenomenon and that it will
continue to occur as long as humans continue to obstruct the earth's natural processes with their
activities. But this perspective implies that all of humans on the Earth will be washed out in a
very short period of time. People today claim that consuming oil in a vehicle is important to live
in this country, but the problem is that we are using a lot of oil every day which is affecting the
world. The human society must recognize that ozone is not an infinite, and that even minor
changes will have a much significant impact. Therefore, this is not true as this approach is what
has caused global warming to worsen.
Therefore it can be assumed that the global warming is more of a feature of science of the
earth and also that the considerations of human like ethics and morality should not be included or
should not be a part, when discussing whether or not the situation of global warming is real.
Human values and activities, after all, have a little impact on the ambient of temperature of the
earth's surface (Sueyoshi, Yuan and Goto, 2017). However, regardless of their home country,
language, history, or skin color, everybody on this planet is a human being. When explaining
global warming, opinions and science should not be confused.
According to some experts, there are only four years remaining before the world surface
temperature rises by another 2 degrees Celsius or more. This would be tragic for the environment
and such a slight rise in temperature will have a huge effect on the planet. The sea level would
rise dramatically, which will more ice to melt. Polar bears will be wiped out soon from the earth,
as they are already fighting for life (Harvey, 2018). Time will run out to solve crisis that humans

have begun as long as there are nonbelievers and people who fail to realize that they make a
difference.
Despite the fact that global warming has been occurring for some time, there are always
opportunities to boost the climate change situation if we move quickly (Sgroi, Vagliasindi and
Roccaro, 2018). The first step may be to phase out gas-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles.
This would be costly and time-consuming, but if the environment improves, people will make a
significant difference. Perhaps it should be tried by humans to reduce the amount of gasoline,
coal, and natural gas burned and find a more environmentally sustainable alternative supply of
electricity. Since trees consume carbon dioxide and emit oxygen in exchange, deforestation plays
a significant role. Planting trees here and there can help in the fight against global warming.
There are several approaches to addressing climate change issues, and each one necessitates
commitment and initiative in order to see success.
CONCLUSION
It is concluded from the above report that Global warming is a contentious topic, and
while some argue that the crisis is unfounded, the fact is that there is enough evidence and data
to support it. It makes no difference whether people agree or disagree; the truth has been stated,
and personal values cannot be allowed to sway what has been scientifically proven. There has
been some misrepresentation, but the claims are well supported by fact. Ethics and morals, on the
other hand, have yet to provide any objective data or scientific statistics. People can save the
world at any moment, and any little action will ultimately pay off. As a consequence, people
must recognize that reality is reality, and whether or not they agree with it has no impact on the
outcome – global warming is real.
