What About Global Warming?

So lately you have all probably been hearing a lot about global warming. You have probably heard that you need to start worrying. You've probably heard that we don't need to care at all. It's all political or it really is scientific. It is very common for people to be skeptical about it. It's probably close to evolution as the most debated scientific topic.

Uncertainty is the biggest reason that people don''t believe it. Sure it is overstated sometimes. The climate is very hard to predict. What we do know is that the global temperature is going up. We can clearly see this. It is predicted to go up about 1-5 degrees by the end of the century.

Watch the Inconvenient Truth, I know Al Gore isn't a Scientist, but his science is correct. He is dramatic, the sea levels may not rise for 100 years, and maybe Katrina was caused by global warming. The question of whether it will be that bad or not shouldn't be a reason to not "go green." None of us knows if we will get into a car accident, but we all have car insurance. Most home owners have house insurance, you don't need it though, you probably will never get robbed.

I definitely am going to write more, but there is way too much to write for the site. I guess Pascal's wager works better on this than religion. It won't do any harm to drive less, turns off lights when you leave a room, or more energy efficient appliances. These will reduce carbon emission and save you some money on gas and the electric bill. It may be inevitable, but if we can slow it down enough, science may be able to come up with solutions to the problems that will come as the world heats, even if it is the natural trend.
