Global Warming: The Signs And The Science

The thesis of the film “Chasing Ice” is to portray the extreme climate change we are facing today. The film has a clear goal of showing visually the danger we are causing our planet by denying climate change. The aim of the film is to show us visually that climate change does exist and it is happening at a rapid rate. The film does a good job at providing evidence that climate change is happening, by capturing footage of the changes occurring over short periods of time. These videos captured by James Balog’s recording devices make it almost impossible to deny climate change and that is precisely the purpose of the film.

Restorative justice generate an opportunity for people who have been effected by crime to talk about their experiences (Shapland, Sorsby, & Robinson,2011). Not only can this be a therapeutic process, it can also be valuable to not only the victim but the community. By hearing the stories from person that was affected by a criminal act, it helps to develop awareness of all involved, which can in turn allow many people to gain a deeper perspective into the root or origins of the crime ( Shapland at el.,2011). In addition, storytelling grows compassion among individuals who find themselves connected by wrongdoing.

One evidence to the occurrence of global warming being discussed in the movie is the frequent occurrence of extreme weather phenomenon, such as storms and droughts. The movie explains that with the increase in temperature, the evaporation of water increases as well. This makes it rain harder which can lead to floods. Another evidence is that it has been snowing less regularly. Snow has been one source of our water

Climate change is evident throughout the world and is a major issue. It is no secret that our planet is getting warmer. Global warming is now recognized in the scientific community as a real problem. There are multiple aspects that are causing this issue. Majority of the warming is caused by greenhouse gases. Volcanic eruptions and changes in the intensity of solar radiation have offset the warming partially. It is estimated that average annual temperatures will increase 3.5°F-9.5°F by the century’s end.

John Smith was an english soldier, author and explorer who wrote The General History of Virginia. In this book he speaks about the settlement of Jamestown. Unlike in Of Plymouth Plantation,written by William Bradford where he speaks about the settlement in Plymouth. From the excerpts we have read, I got to learn a lot about their differences and similarities.

This article describes what global warming really is. It tells the extreme effects of climate change that its happening today. It summarizes nicely of what the U.S is doing towards helping fix climate change.

It is easy to overlook the damage that is currently being done – but it won’t be for long. Ocean levels are predicted to rise by four feet by two thousand one hundred, and natural disasters in general are expected to intensify significantly. More bushfires, more flooding, and more irreparable damage to society.

The movie was not all bad. One interesting technique was to cast the concept of climate change as inducing colder temperatures. I think that one of the leading reasons that global warming is not being confronted more forcefully is that – seriously - people generally like warm weather. And, in an extra twist of irony, the nations that are contributing the most greenhouse gases to the earth’s atmosphere are generally in cooler climates, where

The principal subject for “Before the Flood” is fixated on climate change and its impact on today’s society. This includes the impacts it has on the Earth, as well as accurate representations of what scientists and enthusiasts are predicting. The film also explains what could happen to reality if we don’t take care of the earth. The documentary uses examples and Leonardo DiCaprio as the leading actor to clearly pass on the message on climate change and its urgency.

Alternatives proposed are such as wind power or solar panels, all of which are renewable. The movie is especially informative on what we can do to lessen climate change. It provides hope that there is still a lot that can be done to save our environment. It is not enough to say that there are climate change and show audiences images of melting

The concern of global warming contains many arguments, as presented by DiCaprio on Earth Day 2016. First of all, his speech explores

In conclusion, The Day After Tomorrow may increases its audience’s awareness of climate change with its convincing visualisation of the disasters climate change causes

Thesis Statement: Global warming is a growing concern of scientists and researchers who believe that it is a serious problem for our planet. The concerns and research have also been questioned and have even been called myths. Millions of people find themselves affected by these weather pattern changes and are concerned for their futures. Activists on both sides of the argument are very passionate and not afraid to attack each other in every way they can. There are many questions that are still not answered, however, we continue to see drastic weather changes to Earth. We must go beyond the arguments and learn as much as we can to stop what could possibly lead to the destruction of our planet, our way of life and our future.

On February 28th. 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar for the movie The Relevant. Before he concluded his acceptance speech, he made a very powerful statement that left the audience speechless. “Making The Revenant was about man 's relationship to the natural world. A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow. Climate change is real, it is happening right now” (DiCaprio). He saw the affects of climate change first had and decided that it urgent that we as a world must do something to stop it. Climate change is when CO2 is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere, causing the planet to warm. The world does warm naturally but adding the trapped CO2 speeds up the process drastically. DiCaprio concludes with, “We need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this” (DiCaprio). Climate change is real and will destroy parts of the world if the nation does not communicate efficiently to decrease the amount of CO2 that is produced into the atmosphere, causing the world to warm.

I have a feeling when people watch this movie they have more of an idea about global warming. When Al Gore explains how global warming is affecting the world as a whole and shows evidence of the ice cracking, it makes you realize global warming isn’t really something we should mess around with.
