Climate Change - A
Global Catastrophe
or a Figment of our
Imagination?
Climate change is a natural phenomena. Like many processes on Earth it is cyclical. It has been occurring for
millions of years and will continue to do so for millions
more. Hurrah I hear the skeptics cry out. Finally a scientific piece supporting our position publicly. But hold on,
Donald Trump shouldn’t crack open his champagne just
yet.
The debates surrounding climate change are based
around whether or not we are having an impact on the
climate and whether or not we should act. Most skeptics agree that climate change is happening, however
they argue that it is purely natural and our lifestyles have
had no impact on global warming or our climate whatsoever. Supporters however, argue that, although a naturally
occurring process, our CO2 emissions are dramatically
increasing the rate at which global warming is occurring.
They point to rising ocean temperatures, melting ice caps,
and increasingly irratic weather patterns as evidence - all
