Global Warming is not all to blame

A weird thing happened this summer. The weather was surprisingly cold. Almost everyday it would rain in heavy amounts or it would just drizzle. Whatever the amount of rain, it was always there waiting to put a damper on my summer. I thought with Global Warming, this summer would have been much warmer. But I guess the weather proved me wrong.

The weather has always been quite unpredictable. According to this article in the Science Times section of the New York Times, summers in the Arctic have been getting cooler. Scientists are saying that Global warming may not be the only reason for climate change, but the coming of another ice age that could last for the next few millenniums. Warming in the Arctic has seen significant change for 2,000 years. Yet, the effect of global warming and how humans have treated our planet allows Arctic ecosystems and sea levels to have a major change. This change can have a drastic effect on our planet as a whole.

The weather has always been an unpredictable force. We try our best to predict the outcome of our world's natural problems. Some theories are right and some theoires are wrong. Many scientists believe that the climate change is normal and that's it's supposed to happen. Some believe that it's because of the greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere that's all to blame. Some believe in both theories. Yet, this climate change is taking a real toll on how the biosphere is shaping. I believe both theories are right even though I thought we were already in an ice age. Hopefully, the truth will come to light one day and maybe we'll be able to save this planet before it's too late.

  1. Good job, Tiffany. We'll be delving into this subject in depth later in the semester.
