Is Global Warming a Certainty or a Hoax - Term Paper Example

17.03 Do you think Global warming is a certainty or a hoax? In my opinion, the point of this video is to show that global warming nowadays becomes rather a political issue, than an ecological one. Some time ago politicians were trying to avoid this problem during elections, but a group of skeptics, among them, was Cooler Heads Coalition, decided to change public opinion about global warming. Fred Singer, the founder of the Science and Environment Policy Project, also insists that “climate needs no help from worried people”.

Still, I totally agree with the conclusion of the video, which said that in fact, nobody is sure whether global warming is a certainty or a hoax. One point is clear: “now there is no concerted national response for climate change”.Did the video sway you regarding your opinion? No, the video didn’t sway me regarding my opinion, as there are lots of Neosporin facts, which prove that global warming is an ecological problem. Sure, carbon dioxide is a “plant food”, but still while deforestation takes place, carbon dioxide emissions only increase.

Skeptics call it “life”, but I consider that that be pollution. Though I believe that the issue of global warming has already become an instrument of political manipulation, I don’t think that initially “was not based on science but was a political consensus, which included a number of scientists”. Finally, I totally agree with President Obama, that global warming is not an economic or ecological problem, but a national security crisis that should be solved. What are the politics behind the changing public opinion regarding this issue?

Skeptics had found their seats at the table, and one of them was Myron Ebel, who was acting on a broad strategy with his action plan “Victory Will Be achieved” in order to make the public recognize uncertainties in climate science. State Senator David Rouzer considers that the climate of the Earth is changing from the very beginning of the world, so it is difficult to continue coastline study and define the correlation between climate change, global warming, and sea-level change. Nevertheless, when cap-and-trade came up for a vote in the House in 2009, it passed, with eight Republicans on board, and was supported by President Barack Obama. Sen. John Kerry also took part in coming to an uneasy consensus, that “galvanized the action of people who opposite it”.

What, if anything should the next Administration do to address this issue? I consider that Administration shouldn’t ignore the problem of global warming. In addition, there should be taken some actions in order to protect America’s citizens from the consequences of climate change. Finally, as “now there is no concerted national response for climate change”, something should be done on an international level. US Administration should cooperate with governments and scientists of other countries in order to prove their existence and solve the problems of global warming, deforestation, an increase in carbon dioxide emissions, and sea level change.
