Essay on Global Warming is Causing Climate Change

It is well known that politics and religion are two topics to never to be discussed with someone one does not know well. In today’s society, it feels as if this list of topics that are socially deemed inappropriate to discuss seems to be growing, with climate change now being a conservation to avoid. This aversion to discussing climate change appears to stem from the fact that the issue tends to polarize opinions, in which people fall into one of two groups: climate change skeptics and climate change believers. This paper seeks to address and analyze the ways in which climate skeptics speak about and understand climate change as well as how climate scientists understand climate change phenomena. More specifically, this paper focuses on how climate skeptics comprehend the relationships between grasslands, livestock, methane and nutrient cycling and how these interconnected concepts do not lead to the type of climate change that “green urbanities /green politicians/green activists/green elite” predict. The paper will conclude with an evaluation of the two differing positions between climate skeptics and climate scientists, in which I will determine which argument I find to be the most accurate.

A big question is climate change a hazard to future generations? Climate change is and always will be a hazard to future generations and not just for human beings, but for all kinds of species. The comprehension to accept it, is a hazard that species that cannot adapt to the change in climate are more likely become extinct. Luckily, human beings are masters of adaptability. Because our own evolution is a reason for climate change and our capability to adapt. After all, the hazards are always there should we ever fail to adapt fast enough. Our climate is always changing, both naturally and due to human effect on the environment. There were already beyond doubt, proof that animals, birds, and plants are being affected by climate change.

The fact that so many people don’t believe global warming is a real problem is dangerous. Global warming, if not stopped, will destroy the human race, as well as many other species of animals. As the ice caps at the poles melt, species like polar bears, penguins, and arctic wolves that must cross the ice regularly to seek out food, shelter, and breeding grounds must swim longer and longer distances over open ocean (See Fig 1). Some drown, and some are simply cut off from food and starve.

Purpose of this research is to discuss the problem of climate change and highlight the importance of sustainable development of resources to reduce or eliminate global warming. This paper also introduces the Paris Agreement to its readers and the research is questioned by asking: What if countries don’t sign Paris Agreement? The information used in this research paper is obtained from the official United Nations website which is the primary source of information for this paper as well as the secondary sources like Reuters and NASA along with scholarly sources like ProQuest. This paper refers to previous studies and discusses the effects of climate change and global warming domestically as well as globally on a country. In this research, the significance of the Paris Agreement as a driving force in reducing activities responsible for climate change and lowering percentage of global warming will be highlighted. Referring to the analytical and statistical information provided by NASA, the paper is designed to persuade the readers that the information is credible and accurate.

The morning sun begins to shed its light on the city below. Turning off the alarm, James removes his Dexcron SleepInhaler 4000 to breathe in what little oxygen he can. Feeling light-headed, he quickly dresses into the day’s apparel consisting of a climate controlled, blue bio-suit and an oxygen tank. Today marks the first day of the month so he turns his calendar as he walks towards the door. He closes the door wondering what caused the world to be this way. All he can remember is that the temperature has been rising since he was born and the hottest day on record, 122 degrees in Cleveland, was recorded last week. Exposing himself to the outdoor elements, he waits for the public shuttle

More than a million species face potential extinction as a result of disappearing habitats, changing ecosystems, and acidifying oceans. Global warming is a growing problem and is growing increasingly worse with more pollution getting released into the atmosphere. There are many causes, and dangerous effects of global warming, but there are ways to stop it.

Global warming has been researched for a while by scientists and they have come to conclusion that “the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the ‘greenhouse effect’” . Greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere in order to keep the Earth from becoming extremely cold. Things like coal burning causes carbon to enter the atmosphere and mix with the oxygen in the atmosphere to form carbon

Global warming is the increase of Earth’s temperature caused by the growth of atmosphere’s greenhouse gases. The burning of fossil fuels, like coal, petroleum, oil and natural gas is the most widely known cause of Global warming. In the attached pie, is shown the total world energy consumption which is high in Coal consumption -25.1%, Oil-34, 3% and Gas-20.9%. Only Coal, Oil and Gas are summing 80.3% of the world energy consumption.

Increasingly high atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration is causing global warming. If GHG emissions are not reduced drastically, global mean temperatures will continue to rise to dangerous levels. Such drastic reduction in GHG emissions is only possible with international cooperation.

Imagine you are placed into the future. The year is 2100. You begin to live in this

Due to global warming, ice is melting all over the world including, mountain glaciers, ice sheets that cover west Antarctica and Greenland and Arctic sea ice, causing sea levels to rise, more quickly. They are expected to rise between 18 and 59 centimetres by the end of the century and water temperatures will increase. Global warming also affects many species living at the earths poles. For instance, the number of breeding pairs of Adelie penguins on Antarctica have dropped from 32,000 to 11,000 in 30 years. Another animal being affected by global warming is polar bears. As sea ice melts, two thirds of polar bears will disappear by 2050. It is also expected that global warming will also cause the population of seals, polar bears prey, to decline. This polar bears will go hungry for longer periods of time, resulting in cannibalism. Additionally, as temperatures increase around the world, there is an increase in extreme weather events. Storms are able to absorb energy from the water temperature causing hurricanes and typhoons.

good swimmers, so 40 percent of Alaska and Canada polar bears estimated by the National Geographic drowned or starved as their hunting area shrunk dramatically. I am not sure whether polar bears attain a mutation making them become “Olympic athletics” and successfully transfer this gene to next generations before they have the same fate with 50 percent of all the living species on earth which are on the edge of extinction. Coral reefs are also “victims” of global warming. Recent research indicates the rise of both ocean acidification caused by carbon dioxide and water temperature are threatening 75 percent of the world’s coral reefs since the changes of water’s features make they unable to absorb calcium carbonate which makes up their shells.

The seas are rising, rain patterns are changing, and polar ice is vanishing (Swim, et al.)! Unfortunately, these are the sad realities currently within our Earth and they are all a result of global warming. Through human actions, such as burning fossil fuels and the destruction of forests, humans have altered Earth’s heat balance and as a result, have raised the temperatures on Earth (Swim, et al.). Over the past ten years, Earth’s climate has increased as a direct result of the negative actions by Earth’s inhabitants (Swim, et al.).

The main gases that cause the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane, which comes mainly from animal manure. Other gases like nitrogen oxide and chloroflurocarbons, man made gases, get caught in the atmosphere as well. The decay of animals and respiration are two main natural sources of carbon dioxide. In my opinion, we the people of the world should try to slow down the emission of greenhouse gases and/or find ways to balance the gases so the climate doesn’t change so rapidly. If it did, we would be forced to adapt to the new climate that we brought upon ourselves. If we had an international cooperation to put a damper on the production of chloroflurocarbons and slowed down the use of fossil fuels it

Global warming first mentioned by ‘Svante August Arrhenius in 1896’, but in ‘1753, Joseph Black discovered carbon dioxide’ and in ‘1827, Jean-Batiste Fourier suggested that atmospheric effect kept the earth warmer than it would otherwise be’, (Direct.gov. n.d. A history of climate change). Since this time, reports, and study have be done with graphs to show the impact of global warming and what could happen to our planet. In 1979, the first conference was held this was called ‘International climate science’ it called on governments to ‘foresee and prevent man-made changes in climate’. 1988 the ‘IPCC’ was setup by the ‘United Nations’ to look at reports and the findings, they advised measures to stop ‘greenhouse gases to prevent global
