Global Warming

Does Global Warming exist? A question that most people say yes to but never really look at history of the earth’s weather cycles. If someone that believes in global warming is asked where do they get their proof most will say scientist have proven it but in fact to say if global warming is a real phenomenon scientists have signed a form saying they believe in it and I have found out about two such instances. One where “Vice President Al Gore proclaimed that 1997 was the hottest year on record,”[1]* but this information cannot be all that accurate because he used ground base thermometers to take this reading but when in reality he should have used orbital weather satellite data because they are not on the earth near buildings, asphalt and concrete which let out excess heat known as the “urban heat-island effect.”* Though if he had used orbital weather satellites he would have found that in the last 18 years that satellites have been used they have actually showed a slight decrease in temperatures (orbiting satellites are accurate to 0.1 degree C). The other form I found out about was one that President Clinton was involved in as well as 2600 scientists but “Citizens for a Sound Economy” has proven that no more than 10% of these “scientists” know anything about the climate and other people that signed this form were a plastic surgeon, two landscape architects, a hotel administrator, a gynecologists, seven socialists, a linguist, and a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Global Warming fright was actually created believe it or not, by the media. Global Warming was approved before research had even begun. On a report Timothy Ball made he said that if the media decided to say the earth was flat that it would surely make headlines and be what everyone is talking about.  Though media is a big part of it also people with power like politicians even though they don’t have any knowledge or understanding. Even if they flipped a coin to choose whether they would believe in it or not they would still be listened to more than meteorologists who the weather is their job and life. Aaron Wildavsky a political science teacher at New York University gave his graduate students an assignment to find the scientific proof behind what these politicians were saying. These students could only do this because they were “students doing a project” but if they did it for their job or to get paid they would be attack by these politicians (not physically) in a way which could make them lose their jobs because then they would then be considered a skeptic to the whole world even though they know what they are talking about and the politician doesn’t (he’s just has more power than them). To the class’ surprise they found that there was little scientific evidence and justification for the theory.[2]
