As in all topics and issues around the world there will always be people who have different opinions about certain topics. Global warming is no exception to this. Although the scientific facts are there, some people still believe that this has happened before and that history is repeating again. " Temperatures have been dropping in a wholly unpredicted way over the past year. Last winter, the northern hemisphere saw its greatest snow cover since 1966, which in the northern US states and Canada was dubbed the "winter from hell". This winter looks set to be even worse." said Christopher Booker in 2008. Its facts such as his that make some people think that global warming isn't happening, I know its often hard to know which scientist to trust. There are really only two views that somebody can take in this, either a yes or a no. Scientists in the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) report that over the past 50 years more than 13 000 sq km of sea ice in the Antarctic Peninsula has been lost which indicate the effects are in action. "Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss." says National Geographic scientists who are very acclaimed and also have many other strong reasons to support the problem. These debates will always persuade people in thinking different things. Keeping an open mind and looking at the strong facts will show you the truth. After reading the articles and learning the different sides, the people that don't think its a problem should explain their reasonings to all the animals that have gone extinct from global warming. The animals are becoming extinct due to the loss in habitat from the changing temperatures being found around the world. Many people are arbitrary and need to remember the facts.
