=__LETTER TO THE EDITOR__= Dear Editor, In recent years the media has manipulated the ideas around global warming and has enforced the concept that global warming is reality. However there are still many people who believe that global warming is a myth. In order to produce this project for earth week we have thoroughly researched both sides of this argument. Despite acquiring a deeper understanding of both arguments concerning the beliefs of global warming, we still remain indecisive on what is factual. There are many reasons as to why we are inconclusive in regards to our beliefs on the global issue. The main reason for our belief is due to the overload and claims on particular theories that contradict one another. Such claims include that the ice is melting due to a warmer climate. The media portrays this occurrence as reality, illustrating footage of melting ice-caps. On the other hand other sources reinforce that the sea levels actually maintain a steady level and ice continues to accumulate on our polar regions. An individual by the name of Lord Christopher Monckton quoted ‘The right response to the non-problem of global warming is to have the courage to do nothing,’ [BrainyMedia(2009)Brainy Quote[Online] Accessed 20th November,2009. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/christopher_monckton.html] meaning as people we should accept that global warming is a natural phenomenon and do nothing about it. On the other hand many other people such as from the East Anglia University, Professor Corinne Le Quere are influencing civilization to reduce the amount of impurities like carbon dioxide that are released. ‘The only way to control climate change is through a drastic reduction in global CO2 emissions...’ claimed the professor. [Takver(2009) //Scientists: Climate Treaty more urgent with Global carbon emissions still increasing// [Online] Accessed 20th Novemeber, 2009.http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/11/18/18629044.php] Unless more research is conducted and additional evidence is available, as a member of the future generations, we hold our belief regarding global warming. We also hope that society will cooperate together to be able to establish a better future of ecological sustainability. Yours Sincerely, Tracy, Christina & Alex (GROUP 21) = = = =
