Skeptic finds he now agrees global warming is real
This paper talks about that Richard Muller, who is a brilliant physicist and skeptic of global warming spent two years and finally changes his mind. The research that he did in two years is about the world’s surface temperatures. He searched books that are further back, which can trace, back to Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Two main criticism are examined during the research. “One is that weather stations are unreliable; the other is that cities, which create heat islands, were skewing the temperature analysis.” (Borenstein) In this research that did by Muller, there is nothing about searching for evidence of causes for global warming neither more projection nor how the future situation will be.
He planned to find evidence to prove that the mainstream scientists are wrong about global warming. The result turns out that the temperature of the Earth is 1.6 degrees higher than 60 years before. This perfectly matches with NASA’s data. With more and more researches under taken, leading skeptic scientists are no longer talking about that the globe is not getting warmer. They switch their central argument on how much the temperature raised by human influence. For skeptics, global warming is not a significant issue and it is worthless to spend money to prevent it happen.
