Analysis

Global warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature of the Earth. It is agreed by almost all scientists that global warming is occurring. The issue at however, is whether or not human activity is contributing to global warming. Some scientists believe that global warming is a direct effect of human activity while others still hold to the belief that it is just a natural part of the Earth and that humans have no significant effect on it. Regardless of the differing opinions of the scientific community, most politicians have chosen to believe that global warming is happening and that people must do something to stop it. John McCain plans to fight global warming and make America less dependent on foreign oil. Obama plans to do the same thing but has put more emphasis on how he hopes to accomplish his plan. Now you may be asking yourself what the big issue is if almost all members of both parties want to limit carbon dioxide emissions.
Truth is, that the government is editing documents to hide the truth about global warming. They are preventing some scientists from communicating what they have learned with the general public. This is a big deal. Global warming has become a huge market creating thousands of jobs for people here in America. It is basically one of the driving forces for the United States to become less dependent on oil and find other sources of fuels. It allows politicians to have more leverage in their push for making America greener. Without global warming there would be no need to make cars that produce less carbon dioxide and no need to push for people to regulate the carbon dioxide already being emitted.
At the same time oil companies have hired unqualified scientists to make it seem as though global warming isn't real. Oil companies stand to lose a lot if they can not convince the general public that there is no threat from global warming. The people would demand higher standards from oil companies and then want to find other sources of fuel even more than they currently do. This could result in the destruction of the oil market as we now know it and it is in part already starting the destruction of the oil market. With politicians pushing for more ways of alternative fuels, the oil market will eventually crumble. So the fact that global warming could be being caused by the burning of these fossil fuels only results in the oil market losing ground even faster. The only reason that the oil market is still successful today is because of the lack efficient alternative sources of fuels. However, I believe that the oil market will crumble the moment that there is some better option to burning fossil fuels.
