Global Warming: A Myth or Reality
Global warming, a debate spearheaded by world leaders and experts alike, has been a contested moot topic for an exceptionally long time. The evident climatic changes about global warming have remained the most indistinct, contentious, and vastly disputed marvels in contemporary times. It is a phenomenon that has attracted divergent opinions, with the protagonists linking the destructive climatic changes to increased industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, while the opponents are fervently arguing their case with the same vigor. Nonetheless, global warming's effects are evident in the recent unpredictable climatic changes that have ravaged and devastated the world. It is, therefore, a reality that needs to be conclusively addressed sooner rather than later.
Inferring from the two divides, the proponents affirm the reality of global warming by citing its influence on the climate variations witnessed in recent years due to compounded greenhouse gas emissions (Proctor). In contrast, the antagonists reject the entire concept as a sheer myth that is significantly non-apprehensive and without any scientific basis connecting it to human-caused activities (Wollstein). According to Wollstein, global warming advocates support their argument by proposing that the increased anthropogenic activities that have resulted in increased atmospheric greenhouse emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2) are solely responsible for global warming and the unpredictable climatic changes. Albeit experts are yet to present clear and broad scientific evidence associating ozone layer depletion (the main activity in global warming) with climatic changes due to enhanced greenhouse emissions, the latest ice cover depletion, suspicious climatic changes, and steadily increasing temperatures deconstruct the global warming myth analogy (IPCC).
The flurry of unprecedented global disparities in climatic changes from the past decade has recently intensified global warming concerns among world leaders. For instance, the 1997 El Niño and the 2019 World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report on increased temperatures above Earth's pre-industrial average temperatures are among the signals that have lately inspired the debate tackling global warming and rescuing the world from an imminent tragedy. World leaders have held numerous conferences, like the Kyoto conference of 1997 in Japan and the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, to discuss global warming's detrimental realities. The talks majored on finding viable solutions to mitigate its already destructive effects and prevent its escalation. The Kyoto conference ended with consensual international decree signage to decrease other greenhouse emissions to control global warming in an agreement dubbed the "Kyoto Protocol" (COP-3). On the other hand, The Paris Accord limited global warming temperatures to less than 2 degrees Celcius above pre-industrial temperatures.
As highlighted above, both conferences portrayed the global warming issue as a reality that requires human attention. The main culprit pointed out in its advancement was the increased greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Moreover, global warming's side effects are catastr...
