Example 1. Pollution and global warming

Pollution is protecting the world from climate change, according to two new studies.

The articles below show that the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, may have helped to slow global warming. However, as the world cuts pollution, it will speed up again.

Pollution causes global warming

The articles below state that the increase of greenhouse gas concentration (mainly carbon dioxide) led to a substantial warming of the earth and the sea, called global warming. In other words: the increase in the man-made emission of greenhouse gases is the cause of global warming.

Example 2: Polar bears

Polar bears 'thriving as the Arctic warms up'
An article from The Telegraph. A survey of the numbers of animals in the Eastern Arctic of Canada has revealed that they are thriving, not declining, because of human interference in the environment. In the Davis Strait area, a 140,000-square kilometre region, the polar bear population has grown from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 today.

Example 3: Global warming and the continental ice cap

Global warming is not melting the continental ice cap …

These videos and articles show that the continental ice cap is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap. Other of these links suggest that global warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam, thereby challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of the United States  …

Global Warming is melting the continental ice cap …

These videos and articles show that the polar ice cap as a whole is shrinking. Images from NASA satellites show that the area of permanent ice cover is contracting at a rate of 9 percent each decade. If this trend continues, summers in the Arctic could become ice-free by the end of the century. The summer thickness of Arctic sea ice is about half of what it was in 1950. Melting ice may lead to changes in ocean circulation. Melting sea ice is also speeding up warming in the Arctic.
