Global Myth "Global Warming refers to a long-term increase in the Earth's surface temperature that results in large scale changes in global climate" (Freedman and Duncan 1). Global Warming is a highly debated topic. Many people believe it is a real danger due to the studies from NASA, which do not go along with other scientist's studies. Other studies show global temperatures have been declining every year since 1998. "During the 20th century, the earth warmed 0.6 degrees Celsius, but that has been wiped out in a single year with a drop of 0.63 degrees Celsius in 2007. (Contoski 1). The Earth's temperature is increased by greenhouse gases. Some say they are put off by people and that our own species is causing the Earth to warm …show more content…
Global Temperature has declined since 1998." Sunspots help to heat the earth. There are periods "when sunspots "crash" or almost disappear, which can lead to dramatic cooling of the earth for several decades" (Contoski 3). The dramatic cooling of the earth could lead to a little ice age such as it did 400 years ago. A little ice age may be quite possible in the next couple of decades, according to the article "Global warming, Global Myth,"if sunspots don't show up soon," a slow decline in temperatures will begin as early as 2012-15. This will lead to a deep freeze in 2050-60 which will last about 50 years. We are currently at a solar minimum, awaiting the start of the next solar cycle. If sunspot activity does not pick up soon, we could be in some serious cold climate" (Contoski …show more content…
There is also historic evidence that weather was much worse in times of colder climates than it was in times of a warmer climate" (Contoski 5). The cooling of the earth that most studies show has brought upon us a "tornado drought," setting a new record for the last 60 years." (Newman 2) rather than warming, the earth may be cooling. "Sea-ice cover in Antarctica was growing to record levels, tornadoes and hurricanes were at record lows; the Artic sea ice was rebounding fast; and much more" (Newman 1).
Humans are not the only mammal affected by "global warming." We have all seen the pictures of polar bears swimming in the ocean with no ice caps surrounding them and have heard the statistics that polar bears are becoming extinct. However, "Today there are 22-25 thousand polar bears, compared to 8-10 thousand 40 years ago and only 5000 in 1940 before the big rise of carbon dioxide" (Contoski 4). More consequences will come from the earth cooling, rather than warming
