ed crisis by positing the natural, scientifically proven, key drivers of global warming. Some of these are climate cycles, deforestation and radiation, among many others. The objective of the following report is to identify the facts underlying global warming and its impacts, because a misunderstanding of the facts may result in resplendently bad policy judgments. Our research team addresses the more imminent and real economic crisis that threatens our global society; namely, the trillions of dollars that could be wasted to significantly reduce the level of CO2 emitted by companies and individuals.

 

Global Cooling

Did you know that the consensus has not always supported the belief that the planet is warming due to humankind's environmental negligence? It was only a few decades ago that major news media was using scare tactics to argue that the globe was experiencing a drastic decrease in temperature due to the carelessness of humankind.

 

Joseph Paul Watson, an eminent researcher whose particular interest is examining the media, mentions the fact that between the 1940's and 1980's, there was a good deal of hype in the media concerning global cooling, despite great amounts of CO2 emitted into the air as a result of the industrial revolution, and people were being unnecessarily terrified with the thought of a “meteorological apocalypse” and a new ice age. He made this interesting point by saying, “From the 1940's until the 1980's, the Earth experienced a significant cooling period, despite the fact that industrial production and release of CO2 vastly accelerated during this time. This led to political and media scaremongering about global cooling, the threat that the earth was in the midst of a new ice age” (Watson, 2007).

 

To further illustrate this, the April of 1975 edition of Newsweek, a major US publication, released the following information in an article entitled “The Cooling World”:

 

The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the earth's climate seems to be cooling down. [Meteorologists] are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the country. The meteorologists begin forecasting the results of this decrease by noting the slight drop in overall temperatures that produces large numbers of pressure centers in the upper atmosphere. These break up the smooth flow of westerly winds over temperature areas. The stagnant air produced in this way causes an increase in extremes of weather such as droughts, floods, extended dry spells, long freezes, and delayed monsoons. (Gwynne, 1975)

 

To the layman, this article immediately achieves scientific credibility due to the seemingly large number of meteorologists who support the idea, and forces the reader to fear that perhaps their own life is threatene本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
