Argumentative Essay On Global Warming

The Earth is our home, so why don’t we take care of it and preserve it? Most people think that they can’t make a difference as just one individual in a world of over 7 billion people, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Anything from being a vegetarian, which highly reduces the amount of water used and byproduct created when farming animals, to carpooling to school helps combat global warming. By convincing my English class that global warming is an important issue that we are facing today and will face in the future, I hope to get them to take their own initiatives to reduce their footprint on our planet Earth.

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.

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 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.

Global Warming, much of what does or does not happen forty years from now rests on our actions or inactions taken between now and then. The crucial question is whether we should pour all our resources into mitigation – reducing our carbon emissions. According to scientists who study the climate there are other environmental problems; “we now face a global crises in land use and agriculture that could undermine the health, security, and sustainability of our civilization”.

Global warming is affecting the earth, as we speak. While some disagree with this, scientific studies clearly state the amending of our natural surroundings. Furthermore, there are countless ways we can slow these effects and prevent further damage. Climate change is a modern problem, with global environmental patterns that we are strongly accountable for and must stop.

Global warming could result in catastrophe and death if we don’t start making a change to finally put an end to climate change. The consequences of global warming can already be seen today and this is only the beginning. We aren’t just hurting ourselves we are hurting our environment and all the animals in it. The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than they have been in centuries and it will only keep increasing. Nasa Tells us in their article Global Climate Change: Evidence, “it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century.” We are damaging the earth and hurting our future generations. America as a country needs to focus on moving towards greener energy and away from fossil fuels but right now it doesn’t seem to be happening. We need to put an end to the corruption and greed in our country that allows such large support for fossil fuels and begin moving towards greener energy. Global warming is a dangerous manmade phenomenon that could have devastating effects if we don’t come together and to something to stop it.

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

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

When talking about global warming we want to know if it is true or not. When your current government says the whole thing is a hoax and man-made who are we to believe. President Trump withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, even going as far as trying to get rid of climate research itself. When people watch news outlets reporting that global warming is false wouldn’t you believe it too? Doing research on the internet you may come across information that agree with the government and you may find ones that say global warming is real. Since the Industrial Revolution the 1750s, carbon dioxide levels have risen and continues to rise today. Studies have shown that the carbon dioxide levels have created a warming trend and it is likely it is the outcome of human activity. Carbon dioxide can act as a blanket on the earth’s surface which allows the earth to absorb heat making it hotter.

The Earth is changing on a constant basis, how much of that is caused by man-made pollutants and what are the effects we may feel if nothing is done to curve carbon dioxide emissions on a global scale? remains to be seen.

Global warming comes down to the number of people who enjoy things, like the winter season, a nice home cooked meal, and people who know someone suffering because of an illness. We all have something in common which is in the hands of climate change. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of those things are gone if we continue on treating the planet in the fashion that we are.  It’s time to stop throwing Global Warming to the side like a pair of dirty socks.  It is here, and it is not going away.  I consider it to be one of the most monumental issues of our time and most people are still in denial or inactive in making adjustments for a change.  We all live on this planet, let's start treating it like we do, because what we put in, is what we are going to get back.

“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.
