GLOBAL WARMING WHY YOU SHOULD BE A CRITIC

Global warming is an environmental phenomenon that refers to a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature. There has been a lot of debate regarding global warming and the measures that can be taken to avert some of the effects of this environmental phenomenon. The overall take-home message has always been that that global warming is threatening the future sustainability of the planet (Romm, 2016). However, very few people have actually taken the time and arm themselves with knowledge and information regarding the actual impact of global warming on the ground. Indeed, there have been a lot of debates surrounding global warming and it is important for each and everyone to take a resolute position with regards to this debate. Such an approach would mean change the way of life of millions if not billions of people all over the world.

Industries have come to define the day to day lives of many people due to the fact that they are a source of livelihood for most people. Furthermore, no country can attain economic prosperity without investing heavily in its industries. If the world decides to reduce the level of industrialization today, then many people would have to contend with lower standards of living occasioned by substantially reduced income. Established economies such as USA, Japan, and China will become poorer on account of reduced GDP while emerging economies such as South Africa will never realize their economic potential if we decide to go the way of the proponents of global warming. There is so much information about global warming and some it might actually be questionable.

As a critic of global warming, one has the opportunity of enhancing the overall accuracy of information regarding the causes and effects of the environmental phenomenon. This is because; a critic will be able to present an alternative view of the subject thus initiating another discussion on the same. Currently, the most predominant explanation that has been advanced with respect to the gradual increase in the earth’s temperature is that the increase is caused by an increase in carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases that come out mainly from the industry (Husher, 2007). However, the fact of the matter is that the greatest source of heat on earth is the sun. The same notion can and should be extended to global warming whereby the information that is put out there by critics plays a significant role in improving the quality of data and information available on this topic.
