Persuasive Essay On Climate Change

I really appreciate all of the work you're doing spreading awareness about climate change while doing your own part to combat it. In this day and age, our work to change the course of our currently unsustainable civilization is more important than ever. That's why we must be very careful when discussing the changing climate and the repercussions that spring from it. Most conversations about climate change focus on the major problems that are going to occur in the future as a result of current human practices. Yet, it is evident that these changes are wreaking havoc in the present world that we all inhabit. That is why the narrative on climate change must change. Not only is climate change real, but it is impacting the earth in devastating ways at this very moment. Climate change should be treated as the atrocity of today, not the possible problem of the future.

addressing climate change. Global climate change means it is a global problem, so one nation or

Throughout the years climate change has been a controversial issue affecting individuals worldwide; climate change has been debated by scientists including the rest of the world. Many factors can affect climate change such as biological factors and human actions. The intricate details are what go unnoticed and unmanaged, people may be greatly against this claim. However, it is underlying factors, like landfills and driving cars, that help maintain the increasing temperature of the earth thus, climate change has become a controversial topic. There have been concerns that climate change does not exist but there is reliable proof that it does even if many scientists do not agree on the existence of climate change.

As Earths average temperature increases every year, the discussion of climate change has become a significant topic in the scientific community. Human activities such as powering factories, running automobiles or something as simple as burning wood for heat, emit dangerous greenhouse gases. What makes these greenhouse gases so detrimental is that they absorb the heat radiating off of Earth and keep it in the lower atmosphere creating a “blanket” of warmth around the Earth’s surface. This causes a drastic increase in the Earths average temperature. Due to the rise in temperature, the polar caps have been melting faster than ever, this is dangerous not only because of the risk of floods and sea level increase but ocean water will become less saline and ecosystems will be destroyed, impacting humans just as much as marine life. In the article, Understand faulty thinking to tackle climate change by George Marshall, Marshall states that most people in our world today do not care about climate change because it will not affect them, “Which points to the real problem: climate change is exceptionally amorphous, … no deadlines, no geographic location, no single cause or solution.” (Marshall 2014). Because the author makes it clear that climate change is indeed a great plight, and fails to be acknowledged by people, it is a significant matter that should be discussed

Did you know that the United States is the second largest contributor of CO2, and the less concerned about it? Climate change has been a problem for decades, but just recently we start to see how big of a problem climate change is, and can be. Climate change is one of the biggest problems that we are facing right now, even if keep trying to act like is nothing. Everybody, the people, the government, and big companies are a big contributor of this phenomenon. The more we keep denying its effects, the more we are going to regret it later, and going to wish that we could go back and try to fix the issue. You going to know one day, and its going to be late. Climate change should be the U.S government main focus this decade and the ones to come. Climate change can affect a country in every way economically, destroyed …., cause a lot of deaths.

Abstract: Climate change is a serious problem that will affect all of the inhabitants and systems of Earth. Gaia was previously responsible for maintaining sustainability of the Earth’s systems, however, Gaia is losing its ability to maintain homeostasis because of these severe environmental changes that are taking place. There must be a push to educate people on what the anthropogenic causes of climate change are and how we can prevent them from negatively impacting our environment. People also need to understand the severe consequences of climate change, which include desertification, rising sea levels, more frequent severe weather, and the potential loss of our food supplies. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization also needs to push for regulations on fossil fuel emissions and help create incentives to prevent major corporations from polluting. Last, everyone needs to make an effort to cut back on their individual emissions by using more sustainable energy sources, cutting back on automobile use, and consuming fewer animal products.

Contrary to what Oreskes and Conway believe, I personally do not believe that climate change will be the reason for the end of Western civilization. While I do believe it is a major issue that shouldn’t be ignored like it has been in the past. I do believe it is not too late to prevent it from causing the end of the world. We will always have to live with the consequences of our actions, although we must not lose hope for any given reason. I will argue against them and provide examples of ways already put in place towards the prevention of future effects climate change may cause.

Despite an immense amount of scientific and technological progress, an extensive problem is being blatantly ignored by none other than the president of arguably the most powerful country in the world. President Donald Trump believes it is beneficial for the United States of America to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, regardless of the fact that the U.S. holds a substantial amount of responsibility regarding climate change. The effects of it are detrimental to those from developing countries, that are accountable for little to none of the causes attributed to climate change, but both the global North and the global South will face an economic decline.

he citizens of the richest countries in the world feel the least guilt about their impact on climate change despite it being the greatest (Monbiot). Yet by ignoring it, not only are they harming the world, but people of places that are more affected by the current climate change. Clearly, people need to care about one another before they can care about climate change.

One of the main themes during my Presidency will be to renew the United States as a global leader in combating the toughest issues, most notably of which is climate change. It is no secret that the United States is a massive producer of greenhouse gas emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports, “in 2014, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions totaled 6,870 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents” (Climate Change Indicators). In fact, the only other country that emits more greenhouse gases than the United States is China. However, the United States does produce more pollution than China in terms of per capita. Moreover, even though the United States is a major polluter, President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the Paris Agreement in 2017. However, in my presidency, the United States will renegotiate entry into the Paris Accords, and furthermore, I will put the United States on a path to become a leader in green energy, such as nuclear power, as well as renewable energy, such as wind, water, and solar power. The importance of addressing climate change cannot be underestimated. The U.S. government website, globalchange.gov, states, “impacts related to climate change are evident across regions and in many sectors important to society --such as human, health, agriculture and food security, water supply, transportation, energy, ecosystems, and others-- and are expected to become increasingly disruptive throughout this century and beyond” (Understand

With the growing fear of nuclear war with North Korea, the threat of terrorism in the Middle East, or the threat of domestic terrorism in the United States, people tend to forget the threat that climate change has on the world. Many people believe in climate change, but some people do not know the significance it may have on the world. The dangers are unclear, but there is a consensus in the science world that the earth and its inhabitants need to take climate change a lot more seriously. While there are necessary measures being taken like the Paris Agreement, it is imperative that people also take into account their carbon footprint and try to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere to ensure a better future for the upcoming generations and generations that develop after that. We do not want to live on a planet that may become too hot to live on, in some places. By examining the effects of climate change and other factors, people should be open to change and be determined, not in denial of the facts not only proved by scientists, but observed as well.

Climate change is without a doubt an issue that affects the entire world and its population, scientific consensus on its existence is substantial and is nearly impossible to refute. As a society we should be working together towards the single goal of reducing our contribution to climate change and restoring already affected parts of the environment. Developing themes of hope, urgency and action that function at the core of this movement to invigorate and precipitate support and action for the movement. However, this is not the case in our society today these core concepts are contested by cognitive, cultural, emotional, communicative and political challenges that effectively divide us as a people against these themes; making actions now holistically ineffective with divided support.

I know I'm not the person who's supposed to do your peer-review, however, I wrote this yesterday in case. I did the work, so I decided to post it. Plus, I really enjoy reading your letter, really stood out to me, because you wrote your letter to the whole board, not just an editor. It gave your letter an overwhelming sense of urgency. Very Nice. Immediately it calls for action and it reminds the newspaper of its responsibility to get the fact out to the community and elected officials, so they can make better decisions. By your choice of word you used, "I believe if 'we as a people' come together and fight this decision we could possibly help save our Earth and our future generations". Bring straight to the front of facts, that our representatives are not supposed to make decisions based on their personal opinion, but for the people. They are sworn to it through, The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States. That was actually highly intelligent move, to get your message across because newspapers love to write about violations of the Constitution. You point out, that many are not pleased with Donald Trump, "vowed to withdraw from the Paris Agreement to combat global warming". "Global temperatures have increased by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 115 years, with this increase numerous climate changes have occurred including, more drought and heat waves; this effect can, in turn, create the perfect kindling for disasters fires

As the United States gears up for an intense hurricane season that will last through the year, an important issue surfaces: climate change and the role it plays. To some, including EPA chief Scott Pruitt, climate change is a very sensitive topic and it is not the time to discuss the role it plays in affecting the earth. During his time as the chief of the EPA, Pruitt has led for rollbacks on the regulations of greenhouse gases, which scientists have linked to rising temperatures. With Pruitt and other leaders wondering about climate change and how it is linked to storms, many scientists have the answer to their concerns. Michael Mann, a climatologist at Penn State, wants people to know that climate change is causing storms to grow larger and become more a threat. Mann says that “The science is now fairly clear that climate change will make strong storms stronger”, and he is not the only one to point this out. The nonprofit group Climate Central has pointed out the rising sea levels and ocean temperature increase of 1-3 degrees in the past century. While this heat increase seems small, CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller is quick to point out that “The ocean is warmer. And all of that really pushes the impact in one direction, and that is worse: higher surge in storms, higher rainfall in storms.”

Climate change also known as global warming, is the rise in the Earth's surface temperatures. Even though the rise in the Earth's surface temperature may be slight it can still have a wide range of effects on ecosystems, rising sea levels, severe weather events, and droughts. A staggering amount of scientist believe that climate change is caused mainly due to the human use of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are used, carbon dioxide is released along with other greenhouse gases into the air. Those gases trap the heat within the atmosphere. Some examples of ways humans use fossil fuels are oil, coal, and natural gas. Humans depend on theses fossil fuels to function everyday life. For example we use these fuels to heat our homes, run our vehicles, and are used in the power industry to produce electricity.
