Global Warming?
There are many mixed opinions about global warming and if it is really occurring. Scientific tests have been made about the affects it is having on the Earth. At first scientists believed that the sea level would grow only a small amount compared to new research. They now believe that the sea level will rise up and submerge one third of Florida, southern Manhattan and even the entire countries of Bangladesh and the Netherlands. It seems like with these projections we will have most of the New Jersey coast which is well populated covered in water. Although this is not going to happen in our lifetime it seems that it is something to be worried about if you are a believer. The warmth is melting ice caps which is putting more water into the oceans. Through research scientists also concurred that the sea level during the Eemian stage which was about 125,000 years ago was about 13 to 20 feet higher then it is today. Many might not know that the Earth had anther period of global warming which was called the Eemian stage. This makes me believe that global warming if it is occurring has little to do with the human population on Earth. Unless the Neanderthals were driving cars and polluting the air I do not think humans have much to do with this occurring. It is the Earths natural cycle that is making it happen.
