Argumentative Essay On Global Warming

The Global Warming theory has become increasingly popular over the past few years. Citizens of the world are being encouraged to be more environmentally conscious by others including politicians, celebrities, and world organizations. The problem with the theory lies in the fact that it has become more and more controversial as it gains publicity and attention. The basic concept behind this theory is that the earth was made with a balance of “greenhouse gasses”. These gasses are naturally occurring within the atmosphere and they essentially make the planet habitable by keeping it warm.

Many people do not fear the effects of climate change because global warming is a gradual and vastly impersonal thing, and it causes the people no immediate danger now to really fear per say. This appears to be true, a poll conducted by Yale University shows that 65% of people believe that global warming will harm future generations of people and a little more than half that number believe that climate change will affect them personally. The majority of issues that grasp our attention are things that involve P.A.I.N, according to Daniel Gilbert a psychologist. P.A.I.N is an acronym for threats that affect us personally, abruptly, immorally, and now. Another reason why many people don’t believe in climate change is that we have a “pool of worry”,

Over the years there has been a lot of controversy on if climate change is an issue that needs to be discussed and solved. There is a constant debate among scientist on if human actions are contributing the changing of earth’s climates. Climate change is defined as the change in average weather patterns for a specific region or Earth as a whole. This could include the change in an average temperature for a city or the amount a rainfall it receives (Dunbar, 2015). The main difference between weather and climate is the period of time specific patterns are recorded. Weather patterns are looked at over a much shorter period of time, meaning that these patterns are going to be more sporadic and change more frequently. Climate on the other had is recorded over a much longer period of time and usually show less drastic changes in patterns when compared to weather. Some people may argue that climate change is not an issue because Earth’s temperature is always changing do to natural effects. What people don’t realize is that human activity has effected the rate that earth’s temperature is changing, and just the smallest changes can lead to drastic consequences (Dunbar, 2015).

Climate change is a change of our Earth’s climate throughout a long period of time. An example of climate change is the glaciers melting in the Arctic. When the glaciers it signals that our Earth is warming. This is a very serious issue because if the Earth is warming it can cause more intense storms or make it easier for natural disasters. Natural disasters are already a big enough problem as they are. Climate change is something we can not throw to the side. This is something that will eventually have very negative effects of life. In this century the Earth’s temperature has raised about 1 degree Fahrenheit. Even the littlest change like this makes a very big difference.

Climate change has undoubtedly become one of the most prominent debate topics in the world today. With that being said, there are multiple aspects of climate change currently being discussed; causes of climate change, the idea that climate change may be a hoax, and whether or not climate change affects human health are three of the many ongoing debates about climate change. Climate change is surrounded by negative connotations, but Jay Leno, former host of NBC’s The Tonight Show, shed some light on the darkness of climate change, saying "According to a new U.N. report, the global warming outlook is much worse than originally predicted. Which is pretty bad when they originally predicted it would destroy the planet.” Although his first statement is rather true, Leno manages to lighten its load with a less true, but hilarious, comment. His words force one to realize that climate change impacts everyone in any area of the health triangle, whether it be through a joke such as Leno’s, or directly through issues such as pollution and pollen; the areas of the health triangle include physical health, mental/emotional health, and social health. Therefore, climate change is a threat to all aspects of human health; social health, mental/emotional health, and physical health.

If I am truly being honest I must say that climate change has never really helped the economy. More times than not, climate change, and the terrible storms/natural disasters that it produces, harms the economy, especially when hurricanes and tornadoes hit us down here on the coast. For example, when Hurricane Harvey came through, even though it hardly touched us, we still went through the aftermath. A major gas line, that supplies most of the Bible belt (the south), was shut off for days, and gas prices shot up, and while they have gone down in towns/cities farther north in Mississippi, Hattiesburg gas prices are just starting to decline. Climate change occurs when there is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Now when I say that climate change has cost the economy a lot of money I am in no way referring to global warming. Contrary to the belief of many, climate change and global warming are not the same. Global warming, however, has caused many of its own problems. Many scientists, who study climate change, have agreed that climate change will hit the United States hardest of all, though they are not sure how bad it will be yet. The southern part of the United States will be the ones, who suffer more than the rest, but, due to the fact that the majority of the nation’s food comes from the south, it will eventually get bad for the rest of the nation. If forced to think about the entire situation, one may notice that every summer, especially in Mississippi, is hotter

Currently, the world is facing a big problem. A problem so big, that it puts at risk the world as we know it today. This big, well actually huge problem, is climate change. Climate change is one of the most debated topics now a day, especially recently when the Paris Accords arose to the public eye. The Paris Accords gave even more to talk about when the President of the United States joined the small, now one country group that would not be signing the accords. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, had already stated his point of view on climate change, he has always stated climate change is a myth; therefore, it was no surprise when he decided the United States would not be a part of such deal. The other country that will not be making part of the accords is Syria that has a perfectly understandable explanation as to why they will not be joining the accords. However, The United States finds itself totally divided. The division and uncertainty in the nation over the President began since he was elected, however, this decision to “back out” of the Paris Accords which seek to minimize the world’s pollution brought not only anger but hate towards the President. Most Americans were very shocked by this news and began to show their concern and outrage towards this decision publically. All this information brings to mind an important question, first of all, what is climate change and furthermore, what are the Paris Agreement for Climate Change and how is it affected

As of November 2016, Donald Trump was elected our 45th President of the United States, he is known as a business man with little knowledge of how exactly politics work or ones’ position in the White House. This man was selected to run our country for the next four years; there are many words for which could be used to describe our president, good and bad. The United States, more importantly Earth, is the most vital form of life yet to Trump it is an insignificant waste of money. Trump in less than a year managed to withdraw the U.S from all effective forms of saving our environment. With three years left in office there is still a lot keep an eye on, with hopes of smarter thinking on ways to improve our home.

shrugging it off. This is issue is bigger than a rivalry between countries. It’s a bigger issue than building a wall to separate the United States and Mexico. Global Warming is definitely a bigger

Nowadays it is needless to mention that global warming becomes one of the biggest problem for human beings to deal with. There are a lot of bad effects global warming, for instance, alteration of ecosystems, abnormal weather, rising in sea level, etc. Accordingly, the energy consumption problem is one major task, and Michael Pollan, the author of “Farmer in Cheif”, make interesting remarks during PBS 's debate, " Agriculture is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases." How does agriculture add to global warming? Also, what can we do for it?

Climate change is the global issue of a rising temperature due to human activity. As a result of the rising temperature the polar icebergs are melting. This is putting more water into the ocean and causing sea levels to rise. Because of the higher sea levels many coastal communities are flooding. With Massachusetts being a coastal state this could majorly affect us. Given with the current trends of one eighth of an inch per year (NOAA), a good portion of Massachusetts could be flooded soon. But how soon? And how will it progress over time? This is what we hope to find out with our project. (Kique Ruiz)

The world is constantly being shaken by extreme weather and rising temperatures on the incline. As the global temperature soars, there are droughts, forest fires, floods, and vast storms all over the world. The question arises as are these horrors a product of global warming? The source of global warming is a controversial issue. Some scientists reason that global warming is natural because the Earth has always had normal heating and cooling cycles. Other scientists believe that global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect directly attributable to humans. The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun's energy in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface. There are two main arguments which are; global warming is being triggered by man-made carbon dioxide emissions and global warming has no relationship with the amount of man-made carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere. Global warming, regardless of the source, is changing our world and causing many adverse effects.

“There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” - Barack Obama. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion, because of the threat to our environment. The world will forever be changed if climate change isn’t taken into serious consideration and not in a good way. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion, because of the threat to our environment. Climate change has had many negative effects, for example, damage to coral reefs, the increase of wildfires, and most importantly rising sea levels. The damage to our earth cannot always be undone nevertheless it can make some things disappear forever.

Global warming, we see it as sad polar bears hopelessly swimming for their lives in the ocean. It's shown as rising sea levels that can washout entire cities. It even sometimes gets turned into politics but scientifically, what is the definition of global warming?

Global warming is the constant increase of temperature in the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, greenhouse gases and many other pollutants. Chlorofluorocarbons are any type of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine which are harmful to the ozone layer. Global warming can affect many things, one example is the rising of temperature which can result in different types of disasters like storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. Global warming also causes Higher death rates, Dirtier air, Higher wildlife extinction rates, the increase of Acidic Oceans, and Higher seas levels. In this essay, I will provide information that will show how harmful global warming can be to not only the earth but to humans and animals, and what we can do to prevent it from increasing.
