" (Ungar, 2001) in the work of Jerry Williams entitled: "Knowledge, Consequences, and Experience: The Social Construction of Environmental Problems" explored are the "realist and constructionist approaches to environmental-social problems." (1998) Neither view in its current form is adequate as the actual reality is one that "moves beyond relativism and definitional constructionism" recognizing that the natural world is not dependent upon the constructions of humans. (Williams, 1998) the work of Carvalho and Burgess (2005) entitled: "Cultural Circuits of Climate Change in the U.K. Broadsheet Newspapers 1985-2003" provides an argument supporting "a cultural perspective to be brought to bear on studies of climate change risk perception." This article holds that those who produce and consume media texts "are jointly engaged in dynamic, meaning-making activities that are context-specific and that change over time." (Carvalho and Burgess, 2005) Richard a. Kerr in the work entitled: "Global Warming: Rising Global Temperature, Rising Uncertainty" states that dramatic headlines during January entitled: "Scientists Issue Dire Prediction on Warming: Faster Climate Shift Portends Global Calamity This Century" according to the Washington Post. (2001) Kerr states that: "In this politically charged atmosphere of climate forecasting, uncertainties are often seized upon as excuses for inaction. The work of Andrew Dobson entitled: "A Politics of Global Warming" the Social-Science Resource" sates that practically everyone has now been convinced that global warming is a real threat and that human beings are the cause leaving the question which asks: "What are we going to do about it?" (Dobson, 2007) According to Dobson: "The technology...
Dobson suggests that sound social science should be present in the global climate change debates, which will make the question of "what are we going to do about it" look very different. (Dobson, 2007; paraphrased)

Global Warming Argument FACT OR FALLACY Critical Thinking World Health Organization (2013) reports that, in the last century, the earth's warmth increased by approximately 0.75 degrees C. And further at more than 0.18 degrees every decade in the last 25 years. This phenomenon, called global warming, is said to result from the greenhouse effect whereby deleterious gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat within the earth's atmosphere instead of getting released. A steady
" Monitoring and enforcing a [CO.sub.2] treaty would be very difficult, if not impossible. Reductions in [CO.sub.2] emissions by rich countries could be negated by increased [CO.sub.2] emissions in fast-growing developing countries (Udall, 1990)." One of the issues facing the global warming crisis is the debate about who is most responsible for its creation and who should be financially responsible for its curbing. According to recently gathered data Americans are causing a much
There are a wide range of issues it consider here; from the effect that changed ecosystems can have on the general environment to studies of the 'disappearing' coral reef and the glaciers that are rapidly melting. "Scientists predict that composition and range of many ecosystems will shift as species respond to climate change..." (eschatology of the left) This will also have an impact on the forests and it is estimated
Global Warming Formal Outline what is climate change and what is it doing? The reality of global warming: fact vs. fiction and the marginalized greed-based business perspective The Economics of global warming vs. The moral impact of global warming on all stakeholders including non-human ones. Climate change, not global warming: the effects are different in different parts of the globe. The political, social, and financial challenges that global warming creates and how the challenges can be
These effects would be unfairly harsh on developing nations, who had little to do with creating the problem; this is one of the reasons that recent international talks in Copenhagen have stalled (WGW 2009). Not only would these countries not be able to develop as quickly and have healthier populations and more stable governments, but industrialized nations would also see negative economic impacts, making many wary of making any
