Global warming has gotten many countries split into environment-friendly people and the ones who destroy it. Many businesses are requested to close, some are sued for their unfriendliness with the environment and few are even closed because of not following environment standards.
Many scientists together, have noticed the recent changes in the weather patterns. If the earth's weather is even affected by a variation of only 5 degrees+ in every single country, we would have an ice age. Because of this, none of us can notice significant changes, because in the weather world significant change means a change in average temperature by only a few degrees.
That is why; one may think that global warming is a hoax. But can we all deny the following facts?
- Canada broke the record for most centimeters of snow, eventually breaking the all time snow fall record set in 1938.
- A few years before in Canada the average snow fall had almost broken the record for the lowest snowfall recorded.
One year Canada had lowest snow fall and the other year it broke the record for most snowfall. This is only one country we are talking about. Here are even more astonishing facts about global warming:
- According to NASA studies, the global temperature has increased 1.4 degrees, and as mentioned before a change of 1 degree is considered to be significant.
- Temperatures in Southern Asia went lower in winter and higher in summer with a variation of 2 degrees than normal.
These facts cannot be denied and that is why they are called facts, because they are methematically calculated after taking averages of thousands of weather patterns. The lining on the earth's atmosphere has also thinned causing greater UV and more cases of skin cancer.
Weather patterns changing so quickly have got to start worrying scientists and us. We don't notice the changes because we are not out there experiencing things like extinction of animals, glaciers melting, sea levels rising, etc. We feel the same on 10 degree day as we do on a 12 degree Celsius day.
Considering global warming a hoax is like considering "terrorism", a hoax. We don't lose our lives in terrorism because we are not part of it, and we are not the ones experiencing tortures in the middle east, but the fact cannot be denied, that terrorism does exist and has taken many lives.
People who would consider global warming hoax would be the ones that don't want to take care of their business. We will all be dead by the time global warming completely demolishes
