The ozone layer is being eaten away, allowing more hot, radioactive rays to strike the earth. The carbon dioxide forms an insulating layer which prevents additional heat from radiating into the space. As a result global temperatures will rise, ice-caps melt, and coasts flooded. Will the above scenario take place? Not really. The evidence supporting global warming is weak at best. The projection of future climate changes is very uncertain which shows that the theory of global warming is not scientifically a sound concept. There has been no observable evidence as yet that global warming is taking place. Most of the scientists have agreed that the temperatures have not risen. According to 1922 Gall up poll of members of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorologist society (the professional societies whose members are most likely involved in climate research), thirty three percent said that insufficient information existed to tell, and forty nine percent believed no global warming had taken place (Jones 7). Over the years scientific studies hav
