Position Paper Blog #2: Global Warming

Many people might find global warming as a serious issue, and others might find it as something going on that just has to deal with polar bears dying. There are pro and con issues that deal with global warming and some might find them true, or other might find those facts false. Global warming has many con effects, in other words; bad effects. Some cons are that as the Earth warms, the ocean levels will rise due to melting ice in Greenland, and the Antarctic. The rising ocean levels will inundate roads, farmland, towns, and even cities. The cost will be in the trillions. A warmer Earth equals more powerful storms, with increasing frequency. Wildlife will suffer if their habitats change more quickly than they can adapt. The solution to our future energy needs lies in greater use of renewable energy sources for both heat and power. People think that nuclear power is the solution, and it's not.

There aren't many pros about global warming, but to some people there might be. Some pros might be that there is increased agricultural productivity & land; more rain, warmth & Co2, longer growing seasons for all plant life, greening of some of the Earth's vast frozen land masses, and added habitat for wildlife. Those are some good advantages, but there are advantages and disadvantages for everything. Sometimes the advantages take over the disadvantages, and sometimes vise-versa. In this case there are more severe disadvantages than there are advantages.
