This is true regardless of your belief on this particular issue.

In the last work to be discussed in this document "Global Warming and Ozone Layer Depletion: STS Issues for Social Studies Classrooms" there is a cry, by educators to come to terms with the facts about global warming and get a sense of how to teach these facts to educators and students. The information being given to educators is depressing, as one student educator stated and figuring out a way to teach the issues is difficult. Without the development of a greater understanding of the "butterfly effect" of technology there will likely not be a more responsible humankind.

If the global warming trend continues, the results could be depressing indeed: melting polar ice along with thermal expansion of the oceans could raise the sea level, flooding coastal cities, and many agricultural landscapes could dry out, becoming deserts. And yet, as the class studied the issue further, we learned that the news is not all bad. The nations of the world have already taken collective action to solve one global atmospheric problem: depletion of the ozone layer.
Global warming, as we will discuss below, is a different and a bigger problem, but scientists have already come together to measure, understand the causes of, and set goals for reducing the rate at which it occurs.

The major stress of this work, with regard to the review of literature is the stress that people and especially educators must look at all the information, both good and bad to understand the need to be more environmentally responsible, in any way they can. This is much the same argument, as the broad thesis of this work. Individuals must regard all the information, on the issue that they can, both good and bad and determine a better way to live, rather that taking a side and stubbornly sticking to it or even worse becoming frozen by fear with regard to the potential effects of issues that we as individuals have little control over.
