Global Warming Myths


A person could drive themselves nuts with all the misinformation circulating about global warming. Truthfully, it may not even exist. The words that are being spoken are scaring people way beyond what is actually happening. Here are a few more reasons global warming might be a myth:

1.The earth has a natural cycle of warming and cooling. It has been that way since the beginning.

2.Polar bears have seen the ice cap melt before and they are also still here – OK, I admit, a few of them have lost their lives on the way and it is pretty uncomfortable being on top of a floating piece of ice that has melted off from the main flow. But it is a natural occurrence but the video image is compelling.

3.The earth is moving away from the sun at a rate of knots. This is a natural phenomenon and one which will lead to global cooling rather than warming. It is the reason why Mars is cold and Pluto is very, very cold. The earth will cool, it will happen.

4.Carbon dioxide is not the cause of global warming – in fact it is the other way around. Global warming CAUSES the retention of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It's not nice but there is nothing that we should blame ourselves for.

So stop driving those little death trap cars and travel. It is a natural cycle and mother earth will survive.
