Fallacy Perpetuated by Global Warming Alarmists

Introduction

The main purpose of this paper is to make arguments on the Botkin's essay on the fallacy perpetuated by Global Warming Alarmists.

Botkin's essay on the fallacy perpetuated by Global Warming

Botkin has made argument in his essay on Wall Street Journal, that there are no such effects of global warming. He argued in his essay that global warming does not have much negative effects on earth. He said that there are many other reasons for the tropical diseases then the hot climate. A host of authors (19) directed by Daniel B. Botkin (Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California Santa Barbara) published in the latest edition of an article Bioscience orientation, whose theme is modeling the effects of global warming on biodiversity. About them: the current models lack the ability to make correct simulations, they tend to overestimate the risk of extinction (Bailey, 96). The number of researchers who co-authored this article is probably proportional to the audacity of the way, since the text states quite quickly: "The fossil evidence, recent research in ecology and genetics, along with the specific problems associated with these methods prediction, we suggest that current projections of extinction rates are overstated.” A more accurate description might have been that most current projections are meaningless, given the yawning gap between the rudimentary tools of modeling and the complex dynamics of life. In comparison, the atmospheric or oceanic models are already marvels of sophistication. The authors address eight recommendations for modeling the response of species to climate. Most are obvious: the mere fact of having to remember is quite worrying for what it reveals the state of precipitation of publications at a time when global warming "sells." The ecology and population biology have (unfortunately) failed to mediate the defense of biodiversity, they sometimes tend to take the train in motion climate, even leaving aside a few basic precautions. The authors also point out an interesting point; they refer to the Quaternary conundrum. "Current methods of prediction suggest that global warming will cause many extinctions, but the fossil record indicates that in most areas, a number remarkably low species have become extinct during the Quaternary (from approximately 2.5 million years)” (Godrej, 12). In fact, our climate has undergone large changes between glacial and interglacial, punctuated by abrupt changes (Heinrich events, Dansgaard-Oeschger events), with periods warmer than today (maximum temperature of the Eemian, the last interglacial). Even in the absence of human predation (for exploitation or habitat fragmentation), high species sensitivity to climate variations would have resulted in high rates of extinction, which is not observed (Follett, 156).

My View

Global warming heavily impacts the habitat of species in negative way. It has reduced the coverage of Arctic ice. It has eroded the ice in the central polar basin. It has changed the timings of freeze up and breaking up of ice in region. Since ten years and more, global warming is effecting population. Species are forced to shorten their hunting time. They can ...
