Today's modern geographic debate, aside from whether Crimea should be included on Russian maps, is global warming. Many people have strong opinions one way or the other. Recently, a United Nations-affiliated group (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) leaked a report explaining its near-certain belief that climate change is caused by humans. However, there also has been data showing a minimal increase in global temperatures over the last few decades. Moreover, studies have shown that decreasing our "carbon footprint" will not affect global temperatures.
