Some say the world with end in fire, some say in ice. . . that’s a line from a famous Robert Frost poem. He wrote in more than 30 years ago but with now that global warming has hit our world, the lines seem to describe exactly what people are debating today.
Many scientists, government officials, environmentalists say that at the rate that we are emitting carbon dioxide though burning of fuels, we will have an unbearably hot world by 2050. The ice in the North pole will melt and the amount of water in our oceans will increase tremendously and we will all be burried under water.
Late last year, some scientists spoke up and told us that it’s actually the opposite that’s happening. Our earth is not getting hotter. It is actually on the way to another ice age. They say that if we notice, our winters have become colder. Records have shown that during January and February, several cities in North America, Europe and even Asia experienced the coldest climate since 200 years ago. They also notice that the ice sheet in the Artic pole is becoming thicker.
Sometimes it’s hard who to believe. It is true that we experienced the coldest climate this year. Even parts of the Middle East experienced snow which was the first time they experienced it. Our earth is becoming weird and weird as time goes by. Will it end in fire or ice? I hope neither. I hope our planet continues to support human life for our children. Is global warming real? Honestly, people are getting confused. Can an authority guide us and can we stop this global warming debate and just tell us the real score.
