The topic of global warming is a touchy subject with hordes of supports and critics. The heating of the atmosphere is referred to as Global Warming. This Global Warming is not local but worldwide and it affects every aspect of the planet. Global Warming is defined in a variety of ways based on where and how the information was gathered from. The media quite often skews with what science has to offer to the public and what brings in the most views and popularity. There are many concepts which have been shaved off the main scientific evidence. The proof is evident and the media, along with politics, have manipulated what the people absorb and understand for the personal benefit of the economy and personal promotion. This so called man-made Global Warming is a giant hoax to promote political rivalries, greedy multimedia organization and for capitalist company growth. The manipulated and inaccurate data recorded by international and worldwide environmental organizations are intended to increase the donation and reputation of these companies. Without support the funding and belief in "Global Warming" will cease to exist. The need to properly inform the public with accurate and untainted data is essential for the world to focus on more relevant and current issues.

Guess what? The world is heating up. This may seem like a contradiction of what I am trying to argue, but there is undeniable evidence that the atmosphere is changing temperature. The Earth is heating and cooling at different rates and various regions. The cause of this so called "Man Made Global Warming" is said to be the cause of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as sulfate, methane, nitrous oxide etc. These greenhouse gases are essential for the amount of radiation and heat absorbed by the Earth form the sun. The more greenhouse gases in the stratosphere the more heat is absorbed and reflected back at the Earth. This is probably the one and only reason how and why the atmosphere heats up along with other universal occurrences. Even NASA a worldwide governmental organization said that, "Earth's climate changed due to natural causes not related to human activity." (Milankovitch). The reasons why the Earth heats vary on worldwide and universal events that either increase the solar radiation and atmospheric temperature. The volcanic activity that spews around, "130 and 230 million tons of carbon dioxide per year" (Milankovitch) which is an enormous amount of greenhouse gases released into the environment. Over the past millenniums volcanos have become active which has significantly increased the normal amount of reflective particles released in the atmosphere. NASA states that: "Volcanic activity has also, in the deep past, increased greenhouse gases over millions of years, contributing to episodes of global warming." (Milankovitch). Along with the volcanic contribution to the environment, solar disturbances such as solar maximums and minimums. "The total energy the Sun radiates varies over an 11-year cycle" (Milankovitch) provides a solid explanation why in the past century there has been temperature decrease and increases. This correlates to the heat differentiation between the years of the 20th and 21st century. There has been recorded cooling between, "1878-1911, 1941-1964, and 1998-2011" and heating from" 1911-1941, 1964-1998" (Freitas). That's correct there has been recorded cooling during our own life time. The information that the media and politicians have decided to leave out includes some of the most revealing and essential data to start to understand the state of the Earth. If that does not peak the curiosity then maybe some more of Earth's glorious properties will provide the explanation needed to convince you that there is another side to this biased argument.

The other explanation to this warming can also be explained by the Earth's Eccentricity, Axial Tilt, and the Precession proved by "Milutin Milankovitch, the Serbian astronomer and mathematician who is generally credited with calculating their magnitude" (Indiana.edu). These cycles directly influences the amount of decreased and increased amount of solar radiation being absorbed by the Earth. At the University of Indiana they posted an explanation of the MIliankovitch Cycles and Glaciation and they said that these cycles are, "impacting the advance and retreat of Earth's glaciers." Isn't that interesting? The reason why the Earth's glaciers recede is not because of carbon dioxide but from the movement and placement that the Earth undergoes with the Sun. The first part of this cycle is the shape or Eccentricity of the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. These fluctuations of Earth's orbit vary from between "more and less elliptical (0 to 5% ellipticity)" (Indiana.edu). This relates to the distance of the Earth to the Sun in its orbital. The closer the Earth is to the Sun the more difference between the, "amounts of radiation received at the Earth's surface in different seasons." (Indiana edu). Currently we are in a change in eccentricity where the Earth's orbit is more of a circle rather than an ellipse. This mean that the Earth experiences a, "amount of radiation received at the Earth's surface in different seasons."(Indiana edu). The second part of this three way cycle includes the axial tilt. This tilt varies from 21.5- 24.5 degrees and this accounts mainly for the characteristics of the seasons. Currently the Earth's tilt is 23.5 degrees. The basis behind the amount of tilt varies compared to the amount rotated. Because of tilt: "less tilt also increases the difference in radiation receipts between the equatorial and polar regions." (Indiana edu). This can explain the cooling temperatures in the equator and the warming temperatures in the Polar Regions. The last part of the cycle includes the Precession or the Earth's slow wobble as it spins on axis. This results in the," Northern Hemisphere experiencing winter when the Earth is furthest from the Sun and summer when the Earth is closest to the Sun." This means that the seasons that he Earth alternates through will has a greater contrast between the hemispheres. Hints at the reason why the hemispheres vary in temperature.

In addition to the global configuration of the Earth in association with orbit around the sun, the importance of carbon dioxide needs to be introduced. First things first it is universally known that, "current CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere today are around 390ppm, or about 0.039%" (Meyer). This is such an insignificant amount in association with the rest of the atmospheric that it will not cause a significant amount of damage if it increases. Directly quoted from an Aerospace Engineer who specializes in control and stability of dynamic issues:" But even if we were to hit a relatively pessimistic level of 800ppm by the end of the century ...  While potentially undesirable, a degree of warming is hardly catastrophic." (Meyer). The real issue incorporates the most prevalent component of the atmosphere which is water vapor. The issue of water vapor can be used in multiple examples including: The possibility of melting snow and ice could affect the amount of sunlight reflected from the Earth to space or this can increase the range of plants that will thrive off of carbon which will in turn reduce carbon emissions and slow warming. The main inclination that needs to be highlighted is the main concern: "While CO2 is indeed a greenhouse gas, it is a weak one when compared to water vapor."(Meyer). The drastic change in water vapor can out rank the change in carbon dioxide 10 fold. The shear concentration of water vapor to carbon dioxide is titanic and the thought that 0.039% of carbon dioxide can cause over three quarters of the so called "Global Warming" is preposterous. A PhD Professor in Climatology and co-founder of the Australia New Zealand Climate Forum states: "At current concentrations, a 3% change of water vapor in the atmosphere would have the same effect as a 100% change in CO2".( Freitas). The insignificant amount of Carbon dioxide, ozone and other greenhouse gases compared to the clouds and water vapor add up to a total "relative effect of 20.6" while water and clouds give a "relative effect of 67.5%" (Freitas)

If Carbon Dioxide is the compound which destroys our planet why does it have such a bright outlook onto the future of the Earth? We have been hard wired by nature and by society to believe that global warming has no benefits which means it can only mean it is a world-wide catastrophe. We all know that Carbon dioxide is essential for the growth of all plants, so with this in mind can this benefit the deforestation of many different habits along with the reduction of global heating? The thought that carbon dioxide the "Death Bringer" can actually be the savior to the pressing issue of "Man-Made Global Warming". For example what if the increasing temperatures melts tundra and artic regions once uninhabitable by any forestation? This will bring lost ecosystems and new terrain for nature to reclaim that has been lost by man-made expansions and greed. With the increase in plants this means that there will be an increase in carbon dioxide intake from plants in these new areas. In a study which exposed a variety of plants, such as the Eldarica Pine Tree, the results are absolutely startling. Exposing the trees to a concentration five times the natural carbon dioxide concentration for the Earth resulted in a, "net photosynthetic rate of the foliage by a whopping 450%" (Freitas). This result is not just an isolated occurrence or an exception but this has also been shown to be true in multiple other species. It is a wining situation for both mankind and the entire Earth itself. These situations are called positive feedback theory, which many people would never imagined, which means, "there will be changes that may further accelerate or decelerate the warming" (Meyer). Granted not all of this atmospheric heating is the best for the planet, but there are still beneficial aspects that can alter our future for millenniums. Another example that will provide an additional background on these positive feedbacks. Imagine with these rising temperatures an increase in water evaporation around the world. What happens when water evaporates? The rising water vapor creates clouds, which block the sun's radiation from hitting the Earth. This means reduced temperatures and an increased amount of precipitation. It is quite peculiar that people say an increase in carbon dioxide reduces the amount of crop yield and plant growth. A main staple for people around the world includes wheat. Another study occurred in 2003 showing, "that global net primary plant production increased 6% over 18 years" (Freitas). There is a graph that provides evidence that between the years of 1992-1994 wheat yield production in dry areas increased by 23% and in wet areas by 10%. This means more food production for the United States along with third world countries in Africa or other famished countries. Dr. Randall Donohue who is a PhD and currently studies the dynamics in vegetation function under a changing climate. His research show that the increase in Carbon dioxide across the Earth will actually increase the amount of foliage cover over the Earth. Dr.Randall stated in his conclusion: "Both satellite and ground observations from the world's rangelands reveal widespread changes toward more densely vegetated and woodier landscapes. Our results suggest that increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere has played an important role in this greening trend and that, where water is the dominant limit to growth, cover has increased in direct proportion to the CO2-driven rise in water use efficiency of photosynthesis." (Randall) 

For some reason international organizations such as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seemed to leave out crucial data referring to temperature reading during the past years. During a declaration these organizations proclaimed that 2015 was the hottest year on record. Investor's Business Daily is a popular publication cite that provides information which benefits future investors based on business and political trends.  A source from Real Science said that, ""In their 'hottest year ever' press briefing, NOAA included this graph, which stated that they have a 58-year-long radiosonde temperature record. But they only showed the last 37 years in the graph." (IBD) Why would an activist organization who supports man-made global warming provide misleading information to the public? This is quite easy to answer. They need support to continue funding and support or else their corporation will collapse. This indication could also lead to the tampering or inference of the federal agencies to, "have a strong interest in keeping the climate change scare alive" this means "more budget and research dollars for them"(IBD). Could this thought really be farfetched? The federal government wanting more power to have a stronger grip on the United States people. The United States is losing the big stick in the world wide power house. A reasonable redemption to this failure is to try and unite the entire world to fight for a worldwide cause. What kind of cause has been drilled into our heads as a man-made and global issue? There seems to only be one issue that fits into the missing slot, Global Warming.  If the United States can be the forerunner or leader in this pressing issue then we can have a diplomatic advantage once again. Quite a clever idea is it not? It has defiantly convinced millions of people of the United States along with countless other countries. The thought that the federal government tampered with scientific data to manipulate the peoples' mind just to gain a political foothold in the world politics is disgusting. Some of these problems are created by, "by heat islands and the poor placements of weather stations" (IBD). The ill placement of weather stations and heat islands, which are basically areas of urbanization such as Charlotte or Atlanta, need to be accurately placed to ensure legitimately and scientific integrity. 

Our society needs to vastly improve on our efforts to improve the environment and the entire human species. Granted most of the cause of this global temperature change is occurring my universal and natural events but some can be prevented. In American society is seems evident that we need more than what we need or that we can whatever affects us in the future does not matter. First we need to stop or limit the amount of deforestation we cause: "Tropical deforestation accounts for about 10 percent of the world's heat-trapping emissions. (UCS) Most of this deforestation is caused by agriculture and other inflated natural goods. These are the can be effectively prevented:" Businesses can move to become deforestation-free, and consumers can make sure businesses know this is a priority" (UCS). We can also prevent the amount of trash and litter thrown away by many Americans including the rest of the Earth. The incredible amount of waste and litter produced by the entire seven billion people of the planet adds up to billions and billions of reusable and profitable goods. Out of these billions of bottles and cans about, "9 billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean every year."(King). That is 9 billion tons of reusable and viable goods, ready for the pubic, being dumped into our pristine oceans. These oceans is one of the world's largest food banks. If this gets out of hand and the fishing industry collapses, global warming will be the least of our worries. Along with the environmental benefits that can attribute to the cleansing and reprocessing of our garbage we can save billions of dollars. An organization which announces statistics about littering stated:" $11.5 billion is spent every year to clean up litter" (King). This cut in spending can withhold tax increases along with improving our natural resources needed to strengthen our economy. There are other options that have been researched and executed to further prevent deforestation and littering. One idea was publicized on BBC News. This new idea comes from an incentive out of Sweden to reach an 85% recycling rate. This idea consists of," incentives such as vouchers, donations to charities or money back". (BBC) This same process can be used to deter or limit deforestation efforts. Reward the customer or producer for deeds that will benefit the entire world in the future. Seems like an ambitious yet persuasive goal.

Politics and media seem to be the most trustworthy and persuasive information data banks, but realistically they are all for personal gain rather than for creditable statistics. There are a couple main points that should be headed and used to further understand how climate change really is. First, the Earth is changing temperature, both cooling and heating naturally. Second, these natural occurrences vary from volcanoes, solar flares, and with Earth's variations in its orbit. Third, water vaper is more of negative influence on atmospheric temperature than carbon dioxide. Fourth, carbon dioxide has positive feedbacks that can actually reduce climate change. Fifth, national organizations mislead scientific data to get more funding along with more public approval. Finally the need to change and clean up made-man environmental pollution needs to be addressed and fixed.
