Global warming is our fault - Bloomington Pantagraph

Humans are now accepting that global warming is not a myth, but some still refuse to claim responsibility for what’s happening to our home. The evidence of global warming is irrefutable. The hole in the ozone layer is widening and is wreaking havoc on our temperature and weather patterns; not to mention allowing more radiation to reach us. Humans put 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year; there is no way that we are not responsible.

Some would say that global warming is natural and everything will return to normal eventually. People arrive at this conclusion because there is a mineral called ikaite in Antarctica which shows a temperature increase in both Antarctica and Europe. This happened during medieval times and shows that this is a natural occurrence.

A refuting scientist, Paul Crawley, finds this idea to be not connected to global warming at all. According to his research, the melting of the Arctic sea ice was due to solar cycles, ocean currents or insolation, which are all natural climate variability.

Crawley says, “Climate alarmists have cherry picked time periods to support alarmism.”

And Al Gore says, “The warnings about global warming have been clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. We are entering a period of consequences.”

Global warming is our fault. We need to join together and reduce our carbon footprints by emitting less fossil fuel in order to save our home because without Earth, we are already dead.
