About this trail:
I feel that Global Warming is a concern that we all should be aware of...but is it really that big of a deal? We have people like Al Gore producing the video, the "Inconvenient Truth", and some of the so called facts in the video just do not add up. But if we read statistics on the internet done by scientists throughout the world, we will find some to show facts and others to not really show any kind of proof. If over the past 100 hundred years, humans have been the main contributor to the increase in the global climate, what impact is that going to have on our future? Like with everything else in the News and on the Internet, there is a lot of distorted information in regards to the Global Climate Change.
