Fred Singer Argument
The vast amount of opposing views from qualified scientists on global warming can easily confuse any reader. The manipulation of data is a main culprit, which is largely to blame for the confusion. This tactic, carefully used by global warming skeptics, falsely makes information appear to prove that global warming does not exist. Fred Singer’s 10 year graph, which shows no rise in global temperatures is a perfect example. While the 10 years Singer has selected show no warming in temperature, when the graph is viewed in its entirety there is a substantial warming trend. This term is known as “going down the up escalator” (Upin) and is used as an attempt to prove global warming does not exist. This is very dangerous because while skeptic’s present

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Environmental Science By David Sanford

    In March of 1992, Dr. Richard Sanford wrote an outspoken paper opposing the claims of the global warming hysteria of recent time. Sanford discusses how people accept global warming theories as scientific fact without questioning their validity. I can honestly say that I was one of these people who agreed with the media's interpretation of these theories. After reviewing the pro global warming material in the course text, Environmental Science, written by G. Tyler Miller, and reading several articles on the opposition of global warming, I find myself becoming not a hardcore skeptic, but someone that will no longer take information at face value without reviewing as many of the particulars as possible.…

    The author, “Contoski, asserts that global warming is scientifically unproven and that the facts reveal that the earth periodically experiences changing climates” (Global Warming Is a Myth). Contoski “denies that carbon dioxide emissions have any noticeable impact on global temperatures claims that human-made emissions are insignificant when compared to carbon output of natural sources that have always been beyond human control.” (Global Warming is a Myth)…

    Rhetorical Analysis, "Global Warming - the Great Delusion"

    Matt Patterson argues in “Global Warming – The Great Delusion” that the alleged scientific consensus surrounding the theory of global warming is based not on fact, but rather on a web of mass hysteria and deceit. Patterson contends that “In fact, global warming is the most widespread mass hysteria in our species’ history”, and that the beliefs of global warming proponents are the result of their own delusional imaginations and a subconscious apocalyptic yearning toward which masses of people tend to subject themselves. While Patterson worries that what he perceives to be the delusions of global warming proponents run amok could prove to be a legitimate threat to the progress of Man, he argues that there is a growing trend of dissenters to the theory among the scientific community that will break the supposed fever of global warming hysteria.…

    Sci/362: Climate Change Regulations

    Anthropogenic climate change is an establishment phenomenon. Within the scientific community, the question is no longer whether climate change will occur, but at what rate, with what effects, and what, if anything, we can do about it. The biggest culprit in climate change is an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is generated primarily through burning fossils. Earth’s average temperature is based on daily measurements taken at several thousand land based meteorological stations around the world, as well as data from weather balloons, orbiting satellites, transoceanic ships, and hundreds of sea surface buoys with temperature sensors. Scientists around the world have researched global climate change for several decades. As the evidence has accumulated, the most qualified to address the issue have concluded that temperatures have increased over the past century, that it is extremely unlikely that natural causes can explain the warming, and the human produced greenhouse gases are the plausible explanation for the warming that has occurred.…

    “Up and Down, Up and Down – That Is How Temperature and Climate Have Always Gone in the Past and There Is No Proof They Are Not Still Doing Exactly the Same Now. in Other Words, Climate Change Is an Entirely Natural

    The idea of climate change, for many, is an opinionated subject with much discussion of whether it is a real issue or just a natural phenomenon. However in recent years it is clear to see that trends in the Earth’s climate and surface temperature has spiked to levels never seen before. Despite all the evidence of the high levels of greenhouses gases and the rise in temperature, many still believe that there is no connection between the two, and that the Earth is just going through its natural cycle.…

    Flaws of Peter Singer's Arguments

    In this essay, I’d like to argue against the general movement concerning animal rights. This movement aims to give animals more rights than is necessary. One of the main people who advocate this movement is Peter Singer. Singer uses many logical arguments that are reasoned and well thought out but are flawed and it will be very useful to show how the animal liberation movement is misguided and unrealistic.…

    Response to Peter Singer

    Everyday wealthy and middle class Americans across the country spend money on luxury items such as: flat screen televisions, laptop computers, digital cameras, fancy cars, and smart phones. At the same time, across the globe in poverty stricken countries, people and children are living in destitution. Many of these people lack a basic human need which commonly includes nutrition, healthcare, education, clothing, shelter, and clean water. Peter Singer, author of 'The Singer Solution to World Poverty', suggests that all Americans that are financially stable to donate should be donating all their non-essential money to the needy people across the globe. This seems like the morally right thing to do, however Singers argument overlooks many factors in his bias, and leaves to many questions unanswered to make his essay true or reasonable to any extent. Is it morally right to make a hardworking American give up all luxuries to the needy people they will never meet? Of course, Americans should feel the need to donate to the needy people of our world. Although the amount they donate should be entirely up to them.…

    The Argument Against Singer

    You would think that based on what I have heard from my peers that they are very uncomfortable with the Peter Singers ideas on donating all money beyond what they need to charity. Although they did think that it was a good idea, they didn’t necessarily believe that it was a moral decision. Of the arguments that I heard against Singer, and I did hear many, I don’t think that they are created equal. I’ll mention three in detail and some justifications that I heard that aren’t as relevant.…

    There are many myths and facts about global warming, but the same question is always asked, “Is global warming real or not?” Many more questions arise from asking if global warming is real or not like, “is it the human’s fault or is it just the natural course of the Earth?” There is much evidence that scientist had gather to prove that global warming is real; for example everyone is aware the Antarctic glacier’s melting causing the oceans to rise and causing many problems not only to people but also animals too (Discovery Channel, Discovery Channel - Global Warming, What You Need To Know [Documentary]). The following are facts about global warming and how it is a real thing whether there are people wanting to believe this or not it is happening.…

    Argumentative Essay : "Singer Solution"

    Every day people in America are buying new and expensive things, whether it is a new car, a flat screen television or that $7,000 engagement ring for their sweetheart. In Singer’s article “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Singer suggests an eradicable solution, that “prosperous people should donate to overseas aid organizations” to help the needy in other countries that cannot afford even the simplest necessities instead of purchasing those “luxuries.” There are several pros and cons that float around Singer’s argument, the negatives however seem to out rule the positive thinking in Singer’s case.…
