Warming In Brief) So as you can see global warming is still in some serious debate. The Global Warming In Brief Internet site particularly interested me in stating The idea that global warming would melt the ice caps and flood coastal cities seems to be mere science fiction. A slight increase in temperature -- whether natural or mankind induced -- is not likely to lead to a massive melting of the earth ice caps, as sometimes claimed in the media. Also, sea-level rises over the centuries relate more to warmer and thus expanding oceans, not to melting ice caps. (Global Warming In Brief) The debates on the causes of global warming prevention have also caused much upset in politics. The questions on how much to cut emissions of cars, and factories, as well as other pollution have become somewhat of a political scam as parties continuously change their views on certain topics. However many promising treaties, proposals, and policies have been made. As of right now no one can be sure where the governments of the world are going to go with this issue. One thing is for sure though, we are aware of the possibility of global warming, what we intend to do about it lies in the future. Along with all this another evil lies in our air, exposure to certain chemicals labeled toxic air pollutants. Title III of the CAAAs has identified 188 Hazardous Air Pollutants HAPs. The 188 HAPs consist of toxic air pollutants identified by EPA which, when their emissions are controlled through available technology, are likely to have the greatest impact on ambient air quality and human health. (New Hampshire Air Resources Division) Toxic air pollutants are those pollutants that, at sufficient concentrations and exposure, are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or to cause adverse environmental effects. (New Hampshire Air Resources Division) These are poisonous substances in the air...
