Thesis statement for Global Warming?

Question

Identify whether your thesis statement is a claim of fact, definition, value, cause, or policy. Explain what that means, and list three to five sub-claims you will use to support your thesis.

Answer 1

Somebody wants us to do his homework.... =)

Answer 2

If you took a POLL of climatologists:
Asking: Do they think that Pollution is "majority" contributor to Global warming. You would find that they would be SPLIT.
WHy?
Because, the science of the green house effect is true. However, since there are so many NATURAL sources of green house gases that could effect the climate before pollution.
(ie/ methane production from animals,
volcanos emmitting sulfur & fine particulate and most important of all; the SUN!)
In the 1970's, climatologists impregnated a similar "fear" into society as they are doing now. Except, they were predicting the exact Opposite! In the 1970s a Mini ICE AGE was forcast. Right in the middle of a mini industrial revolution! When gas gozzling cars were emmitting peak amounts of toxic emmissions (green house gases) Industry was careless dumping millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere. The green house effect was certainly available for debate then too, but the temperature was certainly not going up at that time. Records show that the global temp was going down. Why? Well for about 5-7 years, the sun was producing fewer SOLAR STORMs.
(analogy: if you turn the BBQ knob down, there will be less heat? (1970's). If you leave the BBQ on for an hour (today) the grill is extremely hot?)
So in comparison, those who theorize that the Global warming due to Carbon emmissions argue that THE SUN is the dictator of our EARTH's climate and not just pollution.

Since the Earth has been bombarded by a continous array of Solar Storms for the last 15 to 17 years,(longest in history?) it would be safe to say that the SUN has major influence on the increase in today's global average temperatures.

Sad, for todays' fundamental pro Global warming scientist but more likely than true. We have really no control of the climate.

So why not focus on something that is definitely a concern; CONTROLLING POLLUTION levels.
In the end it will probably will curb green house gases anyways???

Answer 3

Since global warming is really theory, not fact, it would be impossible to make any factual statement about it.

Answer 4

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. Are you worried? Then recite a prayer:

A psalm of Al, Patron Saint of Hot Air
The GORE is my shepherd, I shall not be in want of petrol.
He makes me lie for green causes, he restores my carbon footprint.
Even though I drive through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no emissions, for you are with me;
Your offsets, they comfort me.

Answer 5

Yeah yeah. Ask me something difficult next time.
