The first factor one should consider when seeking to do something about global warming is pollution. When putting gas into an automobile, one rarely considers the pollution problem they are creating. New technologies have changed the numbers in pollution. While driving, the engine releases about a half a pound of c

Opposing Stott’s view is another one of Bailey’s false doomsday predictions. Bailey believes that a return to the ice age would be a result of human activity, such as driving. The effects of driving due to the carbon dioxide problem would cause a return to the ice age. Stott believes that an ice age is part of a natural cycle and is unavoidable. Stott and other scientists are researching into other parts of the world, such as Antarctica because it is an observable place, where it is nonindustrialized. Observations made by this research would really tell the truth because no human activity is in Antarctica. If it is found that global warming has just as much as an effect on Antarctica as does here, then we know it is not due to human activity. As we can see, the argument between Stott and Bailey is irrelevant. “As far as the global environment is concerned, there is a brilliant future for humanity and Planet Earth” (Bailey 322). As for Bailey, maybe he shouldn’t speak so soon. Until Stott and others research other areas, Bailey should consider keeping quiet.

Furthermore to avoid and limit the disasters of the greenhouse effect leading into global warming, what can be done? Norman Myers has a plan. “In 1980, 36,000 square miles of forest were burned in the tropics. In 1987, 33,000 square miles of rain forest were burned in Brazilian Amazonia alone. By the year 2020 the figure for tropical-forest emissions of CO2 could climb to another 5 billion metric tons. As a result, the CO2 released into the atmosphere each year would rise to approximately 10.2 billion metric tons.” Myers solution to this problem would be to reforest the earth. He believes that, “replanting trees in the tropics could eventually offer a solution to the greenhouse effect”

Comparing both essays, McKibben and Bailey agree that pollution has decreased. Bailey did not mention a single scenario dealing with CO2. This is the issue that is being stressed upon in dealing with global warming and Bailey failed to mention it. The CO2

In “If Global Warming is Real, How Should Humankind Respond?” Andrew Palmer discusses what to do if in fact global warming is true. If it is indeed true, he believes we

As you can see, Bill McKibben’s idea for a solution to global warming is completely different from Myers. McKibben believes that the end to global warming can come from a revolution in our lifestyles. He thinks that if we change our daily ways and consume products wisely, global warming will sooner or later come to a complete stop. Eating less, driving less resulting in using less gas, car-pooling, and recycling are all some of McKibben’s strategies of putting this to an end. In “Share the Ride,” Lee Morrison expresses the importance of car-pooling. This student points out an advantage that car-pooling �
