Science is based closely on facts & evidence compiled by an overwhelming body of research & experiments. There is more. To argue against science, there fore, one would need just as powerful a fact baked by just as in depth research & experiments. However, arguments against global warming thus far have seen only unfounded opinions motivated by self indulged intentions.

In the United States, for the longest time right wing politicians attempted to convince the people that global warming was nothing more than a liberal propaganda. In the face of mounting ridicule, many of them have changed their position since. However, the force undermining global warming is a dangerous one. As the International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), the most authoritative body on the subject partly established by the Untied Nations, prepared to release their report in February this year, oil companies such as Exxon Mobil began to offer academics & intellectuals hard cash to publish articles to counter the IPCC findings. Philip Cooney, a long time lobbyist for the oil industry was hired as a key official in the Bush administration & was given a free pass to edit a report on climate change before the government released it to the public. The idea was to undermine the threat of global warming. After uproar from the scientific community, & after copies of Cooney’s original hand edited reports were leaked in the press, he lost his job.

It seems that the most common recurring factor about the argument against the evidence of global warming is that these arguments are concocted & disseminated by industries that depend on the production & sale of elements that cause global warming. It’s also a recurring theme that many of these industrialists have established long & intimate relationships with politicians who help their cause & receive enormous financial campaign contributions in returns. Clear? In the case of American politics, environment has traditionally been a liberal cause that the Democratic Party fights for. So instead of being treated as a bipartisan issue of much importance, the right-wing media has relentlessly worked to attempt & disprove the existence of global warming, a movement led by radio personalities such as Rush Limbaugh, who has also long battled prescription drug addiction.

But perhaps the leading public voice to undermine global warming has been that of Myron Ebell. While the media often hounds him for his ludicrous sound byte for the sake of presenting the opposing view, virtually everyone admits he is the master of spin doctors when it comes to global warming. His D.C based think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute has received regular funding from oil industry giants to perform research & suggest policies that portray global warming as a hoax or worst yet, a good thing for everyone.

It does not take long to realize that there is no serious argument against global warming, & most of the ones that do float around are designed by groups with vested interests. Clear? In actual fact, the general consensus amongst the world’s population, leaders & the scientific community that it’s one of the greatest threats that mankind has ever faced has never been stronger.
