Know the Misconceptions About Global Warming

Earth is warming and the sad truth is that humans are the cause of it. Although Earth had its natural cycles of warming and cooling, the rate at which the current warming is escalating is far beyond the normal cycle.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and all scientific societies worldwide have accepted anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming as fact. However, there are still those who argue and cannot admit that humans be the cause. Here are a few of the more popular misconceptions made by the skeptics and what are the truth behind them.

1. Global warming isn’t happening; it is only a dirty tactics of some groups to divert our attention to the real issue.

The truth is: It is indeed happening. Climate change is a reality and IPCC noted that humans are to blame for our planet’s current warming.

2. Even if global warming is real, it has no real threat to humanity. It’s not really a problem.

The truth is: With ocean levels on the rise, temperature records are soaring, and hurricane strength increasing, global warming is a serious problem. Our climate is changing drastically for the worse and we are already feeling it.

3. Even if this warming thing is real, it happens slowly and we’ll have plenty of time to fix it in the future.

The truth is: There is no quick fix, Global warming is happening quicker than most people think, and we must act now.

4. It’s not my responsibility to slow global warming, it’s our government’s duty to stop this and make some actions. The truth is: Global warming is everyone’s responsibility. Climate change is going to affect every inhabitant of the planet, and with this, it is everyone’s moral obligation to do what they can to preserve Earth. One of the best ways to help is to support climate-friendly politicians and rally to educate people.

5. I am only a single person, it’s hard to see what I can do to help and it won’t do anything in the grand scheme of things.

The truth is: Your actions can cause a “multiplier effect” by influencing others to follow your example and the results make a huge difference.

Today we are facing one of the most serious problems and that is global warming. We must reduce our carbon footprints to protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations.

Education about this issue is very significant. If we are equipped with knowledge and see how important our every action does to help or destroy the Earth, I know that we can make a big difference in slowing global warming.

Act now before the curse of natures hits us.
