Latest Thoughts on Global Warming

Reading "State of Fear" has really changed my perspective on global warming. I always just assumed that it was a problem because initially we think that since ice caps are melting there a problem.

I have come to find that even though it may seem like global warming is a problem, it is simply occurring in places. Even then, there are many places that have not heated up. Global warming is simply a cycle the earth is going through, and to say that it is a large scale problem is a little bit of an exaggeration. At the same time though, we should not ignore ideas to conserve energy and find alternative sources to preserve the environment.

Global warming extremists often present data that supports their data, and "tampering" with the data by presenting it to be something it is not is very common. I have come to realize that developing an opinion and then evaluating that data is the only way to find your stance. By seeing both sides of the issue from "An Inconvenient Truth" and "State of Fear" I have been able to develop my opinion.
