Global Warming Argument Paper

Decent Essays

Global warming today is a scientific fact, and have been through controversial and emotional public discussion. Global warming research shows average climate temperatures have been increasing for the last century and an increase in weather temperature fluctuations, affecting the global biosphere environment. Local environments have also been affected by these changes, and many claim local biospheres could be led up to extinction especially in locations such as the polar caps. The argument suggests that global warming is responsible for the decrease in deer population in Canada’s artic regions.
The argument relies heavily on the unwarranted assumption, that global warming implies the average warming of all areas simultaneously. This assumption is untrue, since climate and weather are extremely different, as weather is only a local instance of the global climate, meaning weather could be fluctuating between higher and lower temperatures. If, as the author suggest, ice formation has decrease rapidly, such that deer cannot move between habitats, the author must present evidence that the local temperatures, as opposed to global, have …show more content…

Deer hunting for itself could be the very cause for the decrease in numbers. For example, if deer hunting is performed all year round, the number of deer might decrease gradually and perhaps reached a cutoff point, where mating has become rare due to population sparsity. The author must present such evidence, showing deer population through the years, the percentage of deer hunted and how the ratio of deer population increase, the number of the hunted deer and the number of the hunter population itself. Though complicated, proving hunting is not the main cause for deer population declining, through regulation such as hunting and mating seasons, the author would strengthen his
