Global Warming

After reading both articles, I was surprised that there are scholars out there who are so passionate about the unlikely negative effects that global warming will cause. I constantly hear about the great dangers in global warming, and how certain factors and what we put into the environment will strongly affect and increase in global warming, which will have various other environmental implications. Even though I don't consider myself an environmentalist necessarily, I do feel that there is definitive proof that global warming has significant side effects on the world's resources. Furthermore, even if someone feels that the evidence about global warming is not completely concrete, it should still be closely examined. While it's a new area of environmental research from a relative perspective, there is clearly a great deal of destruction being put towards the environment right now. Any studies regarding such destruction are worth looking into, seeing the fast pace that the environment is being put at risk. I'm sure with time we will know for sure the true effects of global warning, but until then, it should continue being studied as there is nothing to loose in doing so.
