Ryan ChartrandPerhaps the poor, ignorant young man who wrote Thursday’s editorial on global warming needs to open his eyes more and maybe watch some different channels than just Fox News.
Mr. Scott claims that global warming is a myth and “the greatest failure in our modern age.” Now looking at Mr. Scott’s major, it comes as no surprise that he is a senior business major, not a scientist, which he even admits to. It would seem to me that Mr. Scott has yet to look at any recent studies, as his most recently cited study was from 15 years ago. At today’s rates of advancement, we now know much more than we did 15 years ago in many fields, including medicine, climate change, computer and electrical engineering, even things that we have done for thousands of years have experienced major leaps like agriculture.
Now I would suggest to all those who wish to “debate” the issue of global warming, why not just debate the potential solutions to this problem that is evident not in a cooling trend which happened 60 years ago but in the warming trend that continues now. If you would like accurate information on this subject, try reading the UN report about the effects of global warming, which looks at 100 years of data worldwide. Also you can just look at the fact that the 10 hottest years on record ever have been the last 10.
