Your Parents Do Not Know What They're Talking About

July 15, 2009

Dear Simon,

I have no idea about what your parents are telling you, but you really need to know the truth about global warming. Although you might be a little confused about human contribution to the atmosphere, you should know that you are probably a main cause to climate change. I do understand that you and your family are probably filthy rich, but I guess you guys do not know anything about reality. Come back to planet earth, and you will see that the earth is slowly making a transition, but for the worst. It’s kind of like when you start to throw a little fit for something you don’t get, and the worst comes out of you.
Every time a car is turned on, gas is released, and it finds its ways to the heavens of the sky. Obviously, the gas goes into the atmosphere, which makes the atmosphere polluted, and thickens the atmosphere. You do take science class right? If you do, you would know about the atmosphere.
According to Mark Maslin’s Global Warming (A Very Short story), temperature increases as carbon dioxide increases. In graph A, based on ice core data, on page 61 of Maslin’s short story, temperature is affected by carbon dioxide, and it makes it seem like the temperature is the carbon dioxide’s shadow (Maslin, p. 61). When the carbon dioxide increases, or decreases the temperature increases or decreases. When the carbon dioxide gets trapped inside of the atmosphere the earth starts to rise in heat. Maslin stated, “There is, therefore, excellent evidence that atmospheric carbon dioxide increases before overall global temperatures rise and the ice sheets melt” (Maslin, p. 60). When high temperatures melt ice sheets, global warming gets heavily impacted. As ice glaciers melt, water rises. Based on the mini clip, “Global warming: junk science vs. real science,” New York City will be underwater if ice sheets continue to melt. Humans force increasing temperatures because of all the gas and oil they release into the polluted atmosphere.
According to a mini clip, “The Climate Change Denial Industry,” companies use advertisements to persuade many people that climate affect isn’t being caused by humans. Dr. Tim Ball strongly disagrees with human contribution to climate change. He believes that climate change is natural. However, when people wanted to interview him for his opinion he rejected. If he strongly believes that he is correct, why doesn’t he want to be interviewed? Instead of being interviewed, Ball decided to sue the company and say that the media was mistreating him by asking him to explain his perception on climate change. In the clip they show companies such as Exxon, a gas company that it used everywhere, to show how gas has always been used, but what they don’t say is that all the gas that it used is going into the atmosphere adding on to the polluted atmosphere.
Face it brother, you’re wrong. Whatever your parents are telling you is extremely wrong. Your parents also cause global warming. They own an oil company that ships out oil to other companies. When humans use the oil that gets shipped out, they change the climate because carbon dioxide increases, which causes the temperature to rise. Now tell your parents that they contribute to climate change every time they ship out oil or use gas. Ask your parents if they know that. I’m glad that I took this opportunity to tell you this because you needed some real knowledge inside that thick head of yours.
Sincerely,
Jason Acosta
