I don’t really have strong views about global warming. I do think we should try to be as environmentally friendly as we can to preserve what we have for future generations as well as making the environment healthier for ourselves. I’m not too sure about governments using it to control us though, sounds a bit like a film plot to me.
Global warming is defined as the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s air and oceans. The fact that this has occurred does not receive dispute (apparently the temperature has increased about 0.6C in the 20th century). The debate occurs over whether this is simply an natural phenomenon or are humans causing it to increase? Fossil fuel burning and deforestation are proposed to contribute to the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, I think that it is wise to take measures to limit this type of human activity to avoid causing potential harm to the planet – although I realise that this is easier said than done
