Question

Explain why each statement is wrong.

i) Scientists are not in good agreement with each other about the cause of global warming.

ii) The global warming we are experiencing now is part of a natural cycle because Earth’s temperature is continually changing.

iii) Last winter was so cold compared to other winters. Clearly, global warming cannot be happening or else the winter would have been warmer than usual.

iv)If we take care of the hole in the ozone layer, global warming will no longer be a problem (Hint: you may need to look up information about the cause of the hole in the ozone layer on the internet).

v) Since the Earth has been much warmer in the past than it is today, global warming is not a problem.

vi) Since water vapor is the main greenhouse gas, it does not matter how much carbon dioxide humans put into the atmosphere

vii) Global warming is just a theory that scientists made up, so we do not have to worry about it.

viii) We can just wait and see whether global warming is a big problem or not and then decide what to do.

ix) There are no energy alternatives to burning fossil fuels to limit humanity's carbon dioxide emissions.

Explanation / Answer

i) Scientists are not in good agreement with each other about the cause of global warming.

CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING ARE CLEARLY KNOWN

ii) The global warming we are experiencing now is part of a natural cycle because Earth’s temperature is continually changing.

NO, IT IS MAN MADE

iii) Last winter was so cold compared to other winters. Clearly, global warming cannot be happening or else the winter would have been warmer than usual.

THESE WILD FLUCTUATIONS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING

iv)If we take care of the hole in the ozone layer, global warming will no longer be a problem (Hint: you may need to look up information about the cause of the hole in the ozone layer on the internet).

THE HOLE IS NOT THE ONLY REASON FOR GLOBAL WARMING.

v) Since the Earth has been much warmer in the past than it is today, global warming is not a problem.

NO, IT IS BECAUSE OF HUMAN MADE, HAS TO BE REDUCED

vi) Since water vapor is the main greenhouse gas, it does not matter how much carbon dioxide humans put into the atmosphere

CO2 CONTRIBUTES A LOT

vii) Global warming is just a theory that scientists made up, so we do not have to worry about it.

NOT AT ALL, ALL OF US FACE CONSEQUENCE OF IT EVERYDAY

viii) We can just wait and see whether global warming is a big problem or not and then decide what to do.

NO

ix) There are no energy alternatives to burning fossil fuels to limit humanity's carbon dioxide emissions.

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO BE PUT INTO PRACTICE
