Global Warming Debunked
analytical Essay
1547 words
A growing population in today's society is becoming more and more weary of this so-called global warming epidemic. Tactics such as propaganda, various styles of indoctrination, and surreptitiously instilling fear have been used to flood the minds of the gullible; not to mention utter deception. FOX 11 is home to an array controversial sitcoms. One show in particular, Family Guy, disputes vacillating whether or not global warming is factual or fraudulent. The deliberation of Family guy, along with other sitcoms, is to tap on heart-strings; exasperate; impose on engrained morals and values; all in an attempt to be comical. The episode Excellence in Broadcasting, brings forth the "unpopular" view-point, contrary to many enviro-drone's perception that global warming is a conglomerate of falsehoods and fabricated pseudo-science. Along with this science comes radical and unconstitutional legislation such as the cap-and-trade proposal. Seth McFarlen, producer of Family Guy, predominantly portrays a liberal ideological perspective on societal and personal issues. Uncharacteristically, Seth produced the episode Excellence in Broadcasting with a sporadic conservative tenor. In the first few minutes of the episode, Louis is shown reading a news paper; near the back of it she found a blip about Rush Limbaugh's book signing later that day. Brian overheard the comment; after criticizing and badmouthing Rush's credence regarding global warming; he left abruptly to confront him. After failing to insult Rush with his parrot-like accusations; he encouraged Brian to read his book and formulate his own opinion of him. From this it is certain that Brain's presumption and attitude toward politics directly mirrors the average consumer. The way he... ... middle of paper ... ...and-its-a-great-big-one/ 4.

- Global Warming is a Theory, Not a Factanalytical essayOn April 25, 1975 a Newsweek headline blamed a deadly outbreak of southern tornadoes on a disastrous average climate temperature decline that had been persisting for over thirty years. This report stated that the temperature drop increased pressure points in the upper atmosphere amidst the circumvential flow of the westerly winds that in turn affected temperate regions to increase numbers of deathly droughts, floods, freezes, and late-coming monsoons (Gwynne). Global cooling was a scare that resulted because of a theory, but now the concern is global warming. With many theories resulting in a a dead end when they were only hypotheses in the first place, intellectual citizens have begun to distrust the scientific community because of their tendency to teach theories as facts instead of educational hypotheses.

752 wordsRead More - There are three numbers we have to worry about. The first is the 2 degrees Celsius, which is the agreement that the temperature would not reach beyond that number. The second number is 565, and this is how many gigatons of carbon dioxide the atmosphere can hold and have hopes of staying under 2 degree Celsius warmer climate. The last number is 2795, and this is how many gigatons of fossil fuel are still available and ready to burn. Statistically speaking the numbers is increasing at a faster rate than before, Bill McKibben replies with, “environmental efforts to tackle global warming have failed. The planet’s emissions of carbon dioxide continue to soar, especially as developing countries emulate the industries of the West” (5). Majority of the population is aware of climate changes and the negative impact it has on society but people either look the other way or lose interest in finding new solutions. Klein’s article shows the reduction in world coverage of climate change, she states “in 2007, the three major US networks ran 147 stories on climate change. No longer. In 2010 the network ran just 32 climate change stories” (3). These numbers show that the general public is becoming less aware of climate concerns and the media instead is displaying material that gains more viewership such as the latest fashion trends. The main theme that is presented by both Klein and McKibben are the effects of global

Rather than monotonously expounding upon detail after detail, he uses interactive visual aids to clarify his claims. As Stefan Lovgren, in “Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ Movie: Fact or Hype?,” abbreviates, “the documentary handles the science well.” Gore is confident in the delivery of his information; he talks to his audience with ease and precision. He states, “[t]he relationships are actually very complicated, but there is one relationship that is far more powerful than all the others and it is this: When there is more carbon dioxide...

Scientists debate whether the cause is manmade or one of many nature’s cycles. Both sides have clear evidence which is true. Government programs have fed millions of taxpayer money to research. The current theory of the greenhouse effect supposedly results in global warming despite clear evidence of hotter temperatures in history. The video, “The Great Global Warming Swindle,” by BBC broadcaster Martin Durkin depicts how global warming is a sequence. A few major topics involving global warming are niches, media and businesses, and carbon dioxide.
