Blog assignment Number 9

In 50 years if we continue with our current path and do nothing to slow the rise of CO2 levels in our atmosphere, I think there would be more people with Asthma, increased levels of respiratory malfunction in general. In a couple of years about half a billion people in China are going to want their own car, just like here in the United States. And that's almost double the population of the United States. In 50 years, probably 1 billion of the Chinese Population will press to have their own car. And there will be more and more CO2 emissions, we can't necessarily blame them. But we as Americans, living in a technologically advanced domain can blame ourselves for not setting the standard of both environmental hygiene and clean, renewable energy. We American's are the ones doing it now, we as world leaders should be in charge of setting the bar and pressing for a more Environmentally safe earth.

The Heartland's Institute's Argument, is somewhat Scientifically based, especially when they mention the DATA collected by NASA. However, their argument is more intuitive based than it is scientific. The truth is, however, is that everyone knows what happens to the "masses" when a crisis is upcoming. I believe these arguments might still exist to keep the people away from fear. Obviously, these researchers, and scientists are being funded to attempt the "inconclusive" or "controversial" method. This Method is geared into suggesting that there are many disagreements within this specific topic, rather than actually providing definitive proof. Polluting Businesses know they can not definitely provide proof against the substantial evidence for Global Warming, so they attempt the inconclusive method, to gear society into believing that the data is inconclusive. This helps businesses because, people feel less guilty for polluting the environment, and if it is actually successful it may keep Environmental enthusiasts and lobbyists off their back.

Climate change will likely effect our world in the way of a decreased biodiversity. The Polar Bear is a clear example of this, the Northern Poles are getting hotter, giving the Polar Bear less ice land to travel on.

As Carbon Dioxide emissions increase, so to does the climate, that is an established correlation. Humans release carbon dioxide just by breathing, more so when they're driving their car. So humans, do play a pivotal component of climate change.

 The Climate is definitely changing even the, skeptics agree that the climate is changing, perhaps the clearest evidence of this is the polar bears and their recent threat.
