As the political debates heat up, The majority of the American public still feels that the Earth is heating up as well. There has been a multitude of research conducted exhibiting that the Earth is, in fact, heating up. (Many Global warming supporters just threw their hands up in the air.) Although the Earth is getting hotter, there is nothing horribly wrong. The Earth constantly heats and cools as it is a living and breathing mass of water, dirt, and gases. Changes are to be expected. Do we, as intelligent human beings, think that a planet that was created through an event labeled the "Big Boom" is going to be an utterly and completely stable environment? Who are we to access the recent heating trend and call it abnormal? Furthermore, heating Who decides that this trend was the fault of man?? Many supporters claim that global warming glaciers are melting and shrinking. Are they? Some glaciers are actually expanding, as stated in my last article regarding global warming. At this juncture, however, I will admit that some glaciers are shrinking. Glaciers in Antarctica have been shown to be shrinking. A possible explanation for this is a volcano centered under the ice sheets. Sometime around 207 BC, this volcano erupted spewing hot lava and ash over the ice, causing large areas to melt (Chang, 2008). Little is know about this volcano. If this volcano is still active and magma is breaching the surface of the Earth's crust, could it not heat both the ocean water and the ice layers? Under further research is done, there is not adequate answer to this question. With other glaciers growing larger, the support used by glacial melting global warming is now supporters debunked.Another item of discussion is the global warming CO2 emissions caused by vehicles and the quest for alternative fuel methods. Again, who are we to consider the CO2 levels in the atmosphere as high? What is this claim based upon? Next, how do all of the major global warming supporters travel? They drive their "green" electric automobiles to the airport, where they board a jet that has four engines much larger than that of an automobile engine. While they sit on the tarmac, these four massive engines spew outrageous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. More greenhouse gases mean more global warming. That is how it works, right? I have not seen too many of these global warming supporters taking trains or driving their vehicles across country environment friendly. They fly.Lastly, if CFC's are so harmful to our ozone, why have not they been Outlawed? I remember the cries of their being a hole in the ozone layer and how we could all burn up from the rays of the sun. Again, should we fear holes in the ozone? How do we know that holes in the ozone are not normal? In 1973, chlorine was identified as the catalytic in ozone destruction. That was 25 years ago, yet chlorine is still used in large proportions. When a thin spot was found in the ozone layer over Antarctica in 1985, it was found to be the result of atmospheric dynamics, solar radiation, and chemical reactions. The thickness of the ozone was seen to change during different seasons (CFCs and Ozone Depletion, nd). So, if the ozone was seen to change and vary, yet this discovery took a very long time to discover, how are we to know that a similar trend is not true to this global warming hoax? Temperatures, glacial readings, and other conditions used to support the notion of global warming have not been recorded for a long enough period of time to make rash decisions. There is not enough information especially of the idea that our presidential candidates should be debating what to do about it. The hoax of global warming needs to be finally put to rest so that some of the lesser educated public does not run out and vote for a presidential candidate Because of their views on a phantom problem.
