Is the threat of global warming real? Many people believe it isn’t real, however some do. Ross Gelbspan points to a variety of scientific evidences, including a 1995 announcement from 2,500 scientists, indicating that the planet is warming. Brian Tucker, a senior fellow of the Institute for Public Affairs, argues that there are still too many uncertainties to conclude that global warming has arrived (Harf/Lombardi 146). My opinion on the matter is that global warming exists but there is not enough scientific proof to back it up.

Ross Gelbspan believes that the climate change is here, and so is global warming. “By the 1970’s scientists perceived that the melting of Antarctica’s ice shelf would signal the accelerating heating of the planet as human activity pushed the temperature of the earth upward (Harf 146)”. The breaking up of the ice shelf is devastating to some people. “This is the most dramatic manifestation of global warming, other symptoms have been emerging around the world for several years (Harf 147)”. Some countries such as Maldives and Kiribati would vanish completely beneath five-foot waves (Jordan 315). Gelbspan states how the coal and oil industries

Brian Tucker believes that global warming is “science fiction”. He thinks that the greenhouse gas emissions are well founded, but it does not support the conclusion that calamitous effects from global warming are right upon us (Harf 158). When one looks at the CO2 production they will find that in the United States alone the total millions of

are denying that global warming exists only to keep making money and that the consequence of this denial is “massive destruction (Harf 150)”.

People everywhere are seeing the effects of global warming, whether it is their grass dying (from a rising temperature), or the rise in the ocean level. Some can come to the agreement that the last couple of years have been hotter than ever. It’s hard for San Antonio to have a winter but the last couple of years, Christmas has felt like an early fall day. As I stated earlier I think global warming has started. After reading both sides to this issue I find myself stuck between a problem. As I did further research on this problem to better understand it and my view on it, I came to an interesting article.

Metric tons have increased almost one thousand tons (Allen 144). This is not yet a significant number or at least one to cause an alarm for our environment. Th
