Wikipedia Knows Best

 While Wikipedia may not be a teacher's first choice to see on the works cited list, I think it makes for an interesting argument in this case. As we all very well know, Wikipedia can be changed by anyone who feels that they have the need to add their own input. It's the perfect device for a society such as ours. However, what not everyone knows is that there are people who monitor the countless pages to make sure people don't add in too much 'incorrect' information. Why is their opinion any better than that of average Joe with the BA in English who thinks he knows a lot about global warming because we didn't get a lot of snow one year? Point being that there is clearly a force monitoring the information giant and there doesn't exit a completely unbiased and opinion-void soul for such a job. Additionally, it is pretty obvious after skimming over the page on global warming that there is a leniency towards 'global warming is real and we are probably causing it.' The first three sections alone throw enough four-letter abbreviations and supposed scientific terminology that I'm sure most don't even bother attempting to understand and just accept it as proven fact. According to NASA blah blah blah, according to IPCC blah blah blah, radiative forcing--definitely yeah totally, Armageddon uhh what... okay so the last one may be a stretch but you get the idea. Long story short, this page is blatantly of the opinion that global warming is a serious issue that is being caused by our gargantuan carbon footprints. The question still remains: is this the socially agreed upon definition of global warming or is this just what the gremlins at Wiki think? Either way, thanks Wikipedia, you're always there for me.
