Implications of the Global Warming Debate

In the global warming debate, there are two main sides that I have talked about. They are the side who says global warming is man made and will cause the end of the world, and the side who says that global warming is a natural process (another side is though who say global warming does not exist but that side goes against all scientific evidence so I do not find it necessary to go into detail about it).


If this issue is not settled, then the main consequence will be that the people on both sides will have this divide between them which will cause there to be arguments and cause those on the two sides to not be able to work together. It will affect the whole modernized world because instead of the opposing sides being able to work together to advance technology and humanity, they will be spending more time trying to prove the other wrong and not help anyone near as much as they would working together.


If the two sides were able to come to a consensus, there could be many different consequences, some good, and some bad. The first side is if we come to a an agreement on global warming being natural. If we come to that agreement and are right, then we will be able to further technology and hopefully head in the right direction for humanity (assuming this doesn't cause a robot overlord takeover of the world). If we come to this same agreement but are wrong, well, when the effects of global warming really start to kick in, we will be screwed unless we have some kind of space colonies (this has happened in tv shows from multiple cultures).
If we come to the agreement that global warming is man made and are right, then hopefully we will be able to convince the world that we need to stop releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere so that the world does not end this way, and it will hopefully not end, but this will be hard to do because of the economic costs. If we come to the agreement that global warming is man made and are wrong, then we will probably end up once again trying to convince the world governments to spend billions of dollars on green technology, only this time it will be mostly wasted except for preserving natural resources.

As for the consequences of global warming itself, no one actually knows. The possibilities seem endless. There could be an ice age, or just a smaller cooling period, or the destruction of the northern hemisphere. My personal hope is that the debate will be won by the side who says it is man made, and that we will be right.
