Some believe global warming is a natural cycle that has nothing to do with human activity. Anthony Lupo gives claims to this belief such as "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant as many claim. Carbon dioxide is good for plant life and is a natural constituent of the atmosphere. During Earth’s long history there has been more and less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than we see today" ("Global Warming"). Carbon dioxide may be good for plants but according to data the last time there was this much carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist. High (CO2) have high risk on humans health and can produce a state of hypercapnia or an excessive amount of CO2 in the blood. which typically results in acidosis, a serious and sometimes fatal condition characterized in humans by headache, nausea and visual disturbances. So saying the rise in (CO2) will have no effect on human life is a very false statement ("CO2 …show more content…
According to author James Delingpole "Between 1992 and 2001 the ice sheet gained 112 billion tons of ice per year. This rate slowed between 2003 and 2008 but still the ice sheet was gaining 82billion tons a year. Not only that but according to the same study, it has led to a reduction in the sea level rise of about 0.23mm a year. Does that sound to you like a continent shrinking because of global warming? Of course not."( "Meltdown Myth"). Although his claim may make sense to some, over time that sea level increase of 0.23mm per year will catch up to us. Just because this may not seem to pose a threat on the environment at this current time doesn't mean its not an evolving problem we should take caution on. Even if their claim of global warming being a natural cycle is true, that doesn't mean we don't have to take better care of the environment. As stated by Mike Huckabee before "whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it" ("Global Warming
