Is the global climate really warming?

In the past two years, the topic of global warming has been very hot in the United States because of Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Recently, Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for this film, and the topic of global warming has become more popular and controversial.

Controversy aside, at this point, all factions have reached a basic understanding that the climate is changing-in fact, the climate is going to change. But what is intriguing is that the title of "global warming" was changed to "ClimateChange" last year, ironically, it was changed to a cold direction.

Last winter and this spring, many places in the United States were particularly cold, and some places even had the lowest temperature in history. Last winter, Congress planned to hold a global warming hearing in Washington. As a result, the meeting had to be postponed because of the extremely cold weather and freezing rain in Washington. It is also reported that in March this year, someone will organize an exhibition on global warming in the Arctic. Explorers Bankritt and Levi tried to reach the North Pole and take some samples of global warming for exhibition, but unfortunately, the explorers almost lost their toes-it was colder this year than when Bankritt explored in 2 1 year, so the exhibition had to be cancelled. Ann Twood, the organizer, said: Twood also said a more interesting sentence: "The temperature experienced by explorers is obviously not global warming, but we have made one thing clear, and that is the unpredictability of global warming."

In today's world dominated by media, celebrities, Hollywood and committees, many people believe a politician's science documentary so easily. Gore is not a scientist, but through the celebrity effect and Hollywood propaganda, in the eyes of many people, Gore has become an authority on meteorology, and his documentary has also become the "Bible" of global warming. Of course, there are some facts in The Inconvenient Truth. For example, many meteorologists support Gore's argument that global warming is a fact, man-made global warming is a fact, and people can change global warming through their own efforts. It should be said that the vast majority of meteorological scientists still have a * * * knowledge, that is, the temperature of the earth's surface has risen slightly in the past hundred years. However, Gore used Hollywood-style fiction to enlarge another important fact-there is a great controversy in the international meteorological community about the causes, effects and countermeasures of global warming.

William Greer, a famous American meteorologist, has always criticized Gore's view that global warming is attributed to human beings. Gray pointed out that the rise of the earth's surface temperature is mainly related to the change of salt composition in the ocean. Greer is also an expert in hurricane prediction. In response to Gore's statement that hurricanes are related to global warming, Greer gave detailed statistics. Between 1900 and 1949, there were10/0 hurricanes. At that stage, the temperature of the earth was low, but it was at a higher temperature of 65438+.

Greer said that many meteorologists don't believe in the theory of man-made global warming, but in order to get research funding from the state and the IMF, many scientists have to be speechless collectively. 10 year 10 month 12 day, after Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, Greer was giving a speech to more than 300 meteorologists and students at North Carolina State University. Greer pointed out that mankind should not be responsible for global warming, and it is absurd for Gore to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary.

There are also Gore's long-term allies, such as institutions like The New York Times, who oppose the views of Gore and others. In March this year, The New York Times published a long interview and commentary article to cool down Gore's global warming fanaticism. The New York Times pointed out in his article that although many scientists supported Gore's documentary, many scientists questioned many mistakes in the film, for example, Professor Dan easterbrook pointed out many mistakes in the film. Gore showed great confidence in his prediction of the future, such as when the sea level will rise and how much land will be submerged. Kevin Raines, a professor at the University of Colorado, disagrees. These scientists all said that they did not question any of Gore's political ideas, but made their judgments from a scientific point of view.

Recently, the parents of a British student took the school to court because the school teacher wanted to show the inconvenient truth to primary school students. This parent thinks that Gore's documentary is totally political propaganda, brainwashing primary school students, and the school should ban this kind of political propaganda film. Although the judge didn't fully meet the parents' requirements, after listening to the testimony from various aspects, including some scientists, the judge pointed out nine major mistakes in An Inconvenient Truth, which is undoubtedly a denial of Gore's film. The judge decided that the film could be shown to the students, but the teacher must also point out these major mistakes in the film.

Humans need to continue to explore the causes of global warming, but we can't easily accept Gore's conclusion. As for environmental protection and resource conservation, it has little to do with global warming. Whether global warming is man-made or not, human beings should protect the environment and save resources as much as possible, but there is no need to panic because of Gore's views.
