Global Warming

I would like to believe the second paragraph, i don't want global warming to be true. But at the same time I have grown up hearing about global warming and although there are some very valid points in the article trying to convince us that global warming isn't true there are also some facts that have a good chance of proving it is. I understand there have been some scams are that some government agencies have been untruthful with the public when it comes to global warming but I still think that there is some truth in it. Humans have polluted the Earth, it is very easy to realize that. I think the hardest part for me and most people is to think that we could essentially be killing ourselves by having the luxuries of electronics, electricity, heat, etc. So even though i would like to believe that we are not at fault and that global warming is not true, I still have that thought in my mind that we are killing the Earth and that global warming is happening.

Statistics:

- Thats in 40 years there will be 2 billion more people on Earth.

- It takes between 200 and 1,000 years to renew 2.5cm of soil.

These both surprised me. It was very interesting that it takes so long to renew such a small amount of soil. Soil is something you don't think about running out of so I was amazed that it had become an issue. What also surprised me was the population of Earth growing by 2 billion people in the next 40 years. The Earth is already somewhat over populated so to think that 2 billion more people will be added to our population is a scary thought. Will that mean that the majority of the world will be poor or living in poverty?
