The Global Warming Controversy

Is man-made carbon dioxide really responsible for heating up Earth according to Al Gore and his empirical views? Or are the scientists right with their data?

There's been a lot of controversy surrounding Global Warming of late. I chose two Google videos, placing them side-by-side in order to illustrate the flip-side versions behind the Global Warming controversy.

As always, it's necessary to look at both sides of a coin when presented with only one version of whatever news circulates around. I will never advocate that not having to take measures for a healthier and greener planet is not essential, but as a researcher, it's always in my best interest to explore all angles to any given situation. Hence, I decided to examine all the issues and facts behind the reality of global warming.

The Controversy

Since the release of Al Gore's movie - "An Inconvenient Truth" (the Google video trailer shown below) - many have been digging for answers to see if Al Gore was correct due to many inconsistencies which were presented within the movie. However, Al Gore continues to ascertain that he is politically correct with his conclusions as he swept over an entire nation with his influences, to the point of asking people over the internet to sign a "card-petition" (http://www.algore.com/cards.html). With over half a million people having signed this petition, Al Gore then presented chock-fulled boxes of people's messages to Congress demanding immediate action to solve the climate crisis.

Many scientists were shaking their heads with what Al Gore's movie strove to propagate, and these scientists sought to reach through the world's populace with their own empirical findings, only to be scoffed at and ignored. Hence, the Global Warming controversy began. These scientists were just as determined as Al Gore to present their views and scientific data.

After viewing the two Google videos, I leave you to be the judge.

Al Gore's View - "The Inconvenient Truth"

Realistically, the message is being driven home that we, the inhabitants of this earth, must do something about the vast pollution which is affecting our home world.
