The paper will particularly identify and relate the controversy between science and technology to global warming. In addition, the main focus will be based on texts obtained from Hulme (2009) based on reasons as to why people disagree about climatic change, Ford (2011) which is about policy making at the edge of chaos, Hallam and Ingold (2008) on creativity and cultural improvisation.

Climatic change being experienced presently is totally different from what it used to be a century or decade ago. The rate of ozone layer depletion is alarming due to the adverse effects of industrialization among other practices that are unhealthy to the eco-system globally. Socio-cultural and political practices are confirmed scientifically to be the main influential causes of the worsening rate of ozone layer depletion. Science and technological interventions should be encouraged to facilitate the reduction process so that the alarming rate of depletion would be reduced drastically.

Different political groupings have respective opinions towards the global warming issues. The super powers and G8 have...
