It seems you can't turn on the TV without hearing something about global warming. Some people denounce it as environmentalist nonsense and others try to warn the world of what could truly be the devastating aftermath of years of pollution.
You know that environmentalists have cried wolf before (there was a prediction about an upcoming Ice Age in the 1970s), but you're still just as worried as the next person about the obviously harmful effects that human-made pollution causes. Who's right about global warming? Where do you get the facts about global warming?
You could watch Al Gore's Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth to start, although that is obviously a biased view that states that global warming exists. However, no matter your preconceived notions, An Inconvenient Truth really has been the starting point for getting the idea of global warming out into the public forum and you should know what it says.
To balance out your views, you can view a few minutes of global warming discussion on any number of news shows to see just as many fanatical people denouncing Al Gore and global warming as there are people trying to convince the public of the severity of global warming.
If you really want to sit and think and study both sides of the global warming debate, though, there's nothing like reading a newspaper article or a magazine about global warming. There are online archives for magazines about global warming and other environmental issues that offer articles at the best price, too--free!
Global warming articles have been in any number of newspapers, from The New York Times to the Los Angeles Times. Search their online archives or ask a librarian for help to look through oldest issues--or pick up the latest copy, as there might be an article about global warming today!
There are no magazines entirely about global warming, but you can find articles warning about as well as denouncing global warming in any number of news magazines, like TIME and Newsweek. Pick up a subscription to the magazines for the latest news about global warming or try visiting globalwarmingarchive.com or bestglobalwarmingarticles.com for a searchable archive of newspaper global warming articles!
Now that you've done all of your research, if you'd like to start a magazine about global warming yourself, you might want to check out thinkandask.com/globalwarming/062506-notice.html, which claims to own the rights to any future magazines about global warming as well as Web sites for those magazines and seems to be looking for help in putting together a magazine about global warming.
Only serious writers and publishers need to worry about the legality of putting together magazines about global warming, however. That's the best part of the Internet--you can go online and post your opinion for free!
Now that you've done the research and kept an open mind, you're free to post your own opinion! Or you could start your own revolution by pointing out that whether global warming is true or not, we still need to cut back on pollution!
