The Global Warming Debate: What Do You Believe?

You probably already know that global warming is an issue that is discussed all over the world. No matter where you look, you will always find environmentalists who want you and others to join in the fight against global warming. On the other hand, you also find those who encourage you to ignore global warming, as it not a serious issue, if it even exists at all. So, who should you believe?

Some people think that those that oppose it may have ulterior motives. In Al Gore`s documentary on global warming, titled An Inconvenient Truth, he highlighted and showed documentation of the actions taken by many politicians and those with stocks in energy companies who opposed global warming. In some instances, these individuals knowingly disregarded scientific evidence and sugarcoated global warming, so that it didn`t seem like an important issue at the time.

Some people believe that the changes we are seeing would occur anyways, but they are concerned with taking action anyway. One of the biggest ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce pollution in the air. Many political figures and other environmentalists want homeowners and business owners to use less energy and switch to environmental friendly electricity, like wind or solar powered electricity. Those who oppose global warming feel that this could have a negative impact on businesses who oppose or cannot afford these changes. If this is the case, many claim that the harm caused to the economy would be much worse than what global warming would or could do.

One way people can help the environment is to convert their automobile engines to run on water. Yes, it is a possible solution now. I have done some research and have discovered that I can convert my engine for the cost of a tank of gas.


Although every American is able to have their own views and beliefs, the debate surrounding global warming does have a number of consequences. Perhaps, the greatest consequence is confusion, as many Americans do not know who they should believe. I suggest that you do your own research and decide for yourself, and along the way you may pick up some tips that can help our planet and save you money.
