With the two different sides of this growing proposed problem in our society today, how is one common citizen supposed to choose what they believe? No matter the amount of information provided, or how serious the matter will be, humans by general understanding will create and form their own opinions based upon what they want and choose to believe. Global warming is attempted to be solved and thoroughly figured out by hundreds of different scientists all over the world.

Between factories, pollution, cars, etc. this is something that would be easily proven to be true whether in a science lab or by an everyday person. These gases are
