Global Warming

When I look at the map on global warming I honestly get a little confused about what it is trying to show. I see that when you click on the boxes, some will describe that the overall temperature has risen in the recent years. Other boxes I clicked on told me how the population and growth of animal and plant life has shifted over the years. I tend to agree with the politicians that believe global warming to be a hoax. In BIO 117 I had to read an article on global warming and write an essay. The essay was titled Should Society Act Now to Forestall Global Warming, I do not still have the article so I am unsure of an author, but I learned a lot from that essay on global warming. Global warming is said to be caused from the effect of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse” gases holding in heat, preventing the heat from escaping the earth’s atmosphere. Actually, it is this process that allows life to live on the earth. There are many things that affect the changes in temperature. The supporters of global warming want to portray the increase of production of carbon dioxide as a really bad thing, when in fact; carbon dioxide within the environment is actually a very good thing. Carbon dioxide is very good for plants; it helps them to grow faster. And with faster growth of plants, comes faster production of oxygen—which just happens to be vital to our survival along with many other species. There is not enough supporting evidence on this website for it to convince me otherwise. Weather changes, it is not something that stays the same. One day will be cold, the next warm.
