4 Myths About Global Warming

Scientist Janet Schlarbaum Discussions By Tim Bijman

There are more and more myths going on around global warming, in this article we’ll discuss a few as stated by the royal society.

1.) There are a lot of scientists who do no think that climate change is a problem. There certainly are different opinions among scientists about some of the details of climate change, and how we as humans contribute to this climate change. A study in the journal Science in 2004 stated that only scientists who work for oil companies, or companies related to oil, reject the impact of human activities on the climate change. Almost all the other scientists however, do believe in the human impact on the climate change. Such a fact is hard to contradict, because a lot of scientists are strongly influenced.

2.) There is little/no evidence that global warming is happening. Even if it’s happening, it doesn’t happens much.
Well, you can’t contradict this statement. Studies have shown that the global surface temperature has risen by 0.6 centigrade degrees during the last century. The question if the risen temperature is a result of human activities, or that it is a result of normal heating/cooling down cycles stays.

3.) The Earth is getting warmer, but not as a result of emissions of greenhouse gases, which are caused by human activities. Not true, it isn’t arguable more to discuss the question if the Earth is warming as a result of the emission of greenhouse gasses by humans. It is, but the question stays whether it is bad.

4.) Scientist have been exaggerating evidence, in order to raise the attention of people. Well, this could be true. There are cases which are very strange, take for example the glacier scientist who stated that the Himalayan glaciers would reduce because the glacier was reduced by a 134 meters a year. Not true, it was only reduced by 21 meters a year. The calculations were based on wrong facts. These kind of cases do raise questions about the evidence given for global warming. We however do not have enough knowledge to judge if they evidence is true or not. So a lot of evidence remains unquestioned.
