Charles Krauthammer The Myth Of Settled Science Summary

777 Words4 Pages

Whoever says science states facts isn’t saying the truth because science is always evolving and making new discoveries. Climate change is going to be a big concern, it’s going to cause a mass change in agriculture, the rising heat will affect farmers and how they grow crops. The burning toxic chemicals cannot lead to a positive outcome as well, it may rise health problems and create different types of dieses that’ll affect mankind. Science has its predictions, but how solid can these predictions be? “The Myth of ‘Settled Science.’” is an article written by Charles Krauthammer that addresses a different point of view on global warming. Krauthammer questions if what these scientists are saying is actually true or if it’s a way for them to manipulate the people. I agree with Krauthammer that not everything we are told about global warming is true, and that not everything can be blamed on global warming; however, I disagree that global warming is not happening. …show more content…

The lack of rain in California is causing a drought. Farms are being damaged and crops are dying. This change in weather might just be a phase or a heat wave or it might be something bigger. In an interview about what’s happening in California, Obama automatically blamed it on global warming. Krauthammer states that in a study on climate change it showed that California should get colder, not hotter. I agree with Krauthammer that we shouldn’t believe everything that we are told about global warming. I certainly believe global warming does exist, but I don’t believe that it’s the cause of the dryness in California due to what studies have

A few months ago, strange, frigid weather was sweeping across the nation. Some places saw their first snowfall in eight years. Other cities ended up being colder than cities that were closer to the North Pole. Scientists believe that this is because of global warming. Some people don’t believe that this weird weather means that global warming is a serious thing: “Some question how it could be so cold if the planet is heating up.

He pulls quotes from Benjamin Strauss, the vice president for Climate Central who has “a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton”(Williamson 2) and Rob Painting, a “true believer who writes for Skeptical Science”(2) who is simply “a former police officer who is really, really interested in global warming” (3). While Strauss is more qualified to speak on behalf of the science behind climate change, the leading climatologists of the world are nowhere to be seen. Instead, Williamson uses these two, less credible, sources to drive his point of opposition further and more

California dry from all of its water people trying to sell or just moving anywhere else. The drought has been going on for many years and slowly California is running out of water. If the government of California does not do anything the people may start to attack farmer to get water or the government may go for the people. The farmers are using all the water and people are losing their water.

I 'm not usually stunned by opinion regardless of how delusional the foundation of it is, but even the hardened polemist may wince at the vehement aimed at global warming skeptics / deniers. Debate is a wonderful thing if it is about interpretations surrounding water tight credible data; I crave for hard evidence - herewith, while seeking it the waters become murky and the rhetoric shifts onwards to comparisons you 'll never dream of... A war veteran 's letter illustrates this point with bells on. "Propaganda by global-warming skeptics and deniers remind me of 1944, when as an Army officer I saw living skeletons in striped pajamas. Horror stories about Nazi concentration camps suddenly rang true.

This is not an effective because it is verifiable. A better way to phrase the statement to make it more argumentative is: What some people describe as global warming is actually nothing more than regular, cycles of climate change over time. 6. This is not an effective argument because it is verifiable. College is getting more and more expensive as the years pass and this could be verified by studies and research.

The cause of all this is the unregulated pumping of groundwater out of aquifers by California 's farmers in the Central Valley. As water is drawn out of these reservoirs, their structural integrity fails and they consequently collapse, causing the land above to sink. Once the aquifers collapse, their maximum capacity is reduced, so they cannot be fully refilled during wet periods. Less water will be stored and pumped, which is a major concern for drought years in the future.

With the heavy rainfall expected during the upcoming El Niño, the city of Los Angeles is at increased risk from effects, such as landslides, mudflows, and flooding. El Niño causes the water temperature to get warmer (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2015). It can also lead to heavy precipitation in some areas and drier weather in other areas (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2015). California has been in a drought for the past four years, but El Niño will not end the drought

Dr. Marty Klein Recap: Legitimate scientific research is often discounted by politicos proclaiming that the issue is “controversial” even when there is a clear-cut consensus among recognized scientists. Consider the so-called debates about the harmful effects of tobacco or climate change, or how IUDs and emergency contraceptives work. Combined, those high-profile issues (and others--fluoride in city water, etc.) are often identified as issues of phony controversy--as they were in a National Geographic magazine cover story, “The War on Science” (March, 2015). For a good example of that ploy we also have Jeb Bush’s (a potential 2016 presidential candidate) comments about climate change. Bush said that “he wasn’t a scientist” but nevertheless he believes the “science” of human-caused climate change was “convoluted,” and questioned the degree to which carbon emissions are responsible.

Throughout the course of history, California reigns as one of the driest areas in the United States of America. Like many other places in the United States, California receives precipitation in the forms of rain and snow because of moisture from the Pacific Ocean, though, in smaller increments. Over the past four years, the amount of precipitation that California has received has consistently declined. In 2011, California’s governor, Jerry Brown, declared the state to be experiencing one of the most severe droughts on record. Four years later, the drought continues to wreak havoc on the state’s land, population, and wildlife.

The concept of climate change may be one of the greatest threats to our modern day life and the future of our planet. Climate singlehandedly is able to impact natural resources, vegetation, and human impacts on an area which and effectively destroy the functionality of an ecosystem. Many climate change deniers use the formal definition of climate to support the idea that climate change and global warming does not exist - they believe that climate is simply the natural changes in weather over time. However, the change we have been witnessing over the past decade is anything but naturally occurring. There is an overwhelming consensus in the scientific community of its existence and us as a species can no longer deny it while sweeping it under

Opening Statement 5 minutes: Global warming is not caused by humans. Warmer periods of time in the Earth’s history started about 800 years before rises in carbon dioxide. More heat is trapped by the atmosphere, causing the planet to become warmer than it would be naturally. After WWII, there was a large surge in reported carbon dioxide production. More than 1,000 scientists say that climate change is not humans fault.

Cruz is completely correct that liberal politicians use to conjure and stress that global cooling was an apparent issue. However, now they are just doing the opposite-saying that the climate is getting warmer. Furthermore, Cruz said that satellites measuring the Earth’s temperatures and weather patterns showed “no significant warming whatsoever” (Inskeep 2015).

Global Warming True or False Many different people have many different perspectives on the subject of global warming. Some believe that is it is happening because of humans, some think that it is happening because of nature, and some believe that it is not happening at all and that the subject of global warming is just a huge massive lie to the world. Many people including myself believe that anthropogenic global warming is happening on the Earth. Scientists have shown that the Earth does have periods of heating and cooling throughout history, but they also have shown that since the beginning of the industrial revolution the temperature has gone up more than ever, as shown by figure 1 below. One article from the National Aeronautics and
