Persuasive Essay On Climate Change

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 pressing issue in the world for quite some time now. Early it was known more aggressively as global warming, but most recently it has been considered as climate change. But over the years there being many different perspectives and viewpoints on the issue. Some nations don’t even think about in their quest to become a developed nation. Certain Developed nations have taken great strides in preventing climate change. Other Developed nations are aware of what’s happening to the planet, but haven’t taken too many decisions in Preventing climate change. But why do different nations have different perspectives on climate change? Recently the United States have been weak on climate change to ensure jobs, but many are critical of Recent Presidents trump climate Change policy and Europe is leading the way combating climate change with Paris agreement.

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 is a big issue in today’s world, which is claiming the homes of many different species. Just by looking at the polar bears we know how catastrophic climate change can be. With the world constantly getting hotter and hotter some species cannot handle the heat. Sometimes climate change doesn’t directly affect the animal, but instead, its food source cannot grow in a warm environment. As for the giant panda, they are affect directly and indirectly by climate change.

Climate change is a very controversial topic that has been the heart of research for a lot of scientists for decades. In 2017 climate change is not only looked at by scientists, but by regular people on a daily basis. There has been so much research done to determine if climate change is even real, and how it impacts the whole world. There are more than a few factors that affect climate change. There are also a lot of things climate change It is also important to know the ways climate change is impacting the world. Climate change is mostly caused by human activity. Some impacts of climate change are the effects on animals and unprecedented weather patterns. There are people who do not believe in climate change. Overall climate change is a serious issue. Studying and researching climate change is also interesting. There is plenty of information out there to not only support climate change, but to figure out what can be done to solve it.

Climate change is a huge man made issue in which we tend to ignore with each day that passes. With the days that pass the level of carbon monoxide rises and creeps closer one step at a time. Climate change has an enormous damaging effect upon our environment and human civilization. With the millions of humans remaining passive on this subject there will be guaranteed severe and damaging results to Earth. Climate change is caused by global warming and global warming is caused by humans. Every time you start your car engine to speed to work or when family comes over and you decide to make a fire out back. Everything will ultimately contribute to global warming as the output of carbon monoxide is released. This climate change means the average temperature of earth in which rises over a certain amount of time. This is a major issue and is within the grasp of humans to attempt to slow down the process of global warming.

The arrogance of mankind is not in the belief that their lifestyle can alter the Planet’s climate, nor in the denial that it could; instead it is believing that we can understand and address climate disruption individually. This is an issue that stretches far beyond a single discipline, and affects every living creature on Earth, reinforcing the notion that geologists, oceanographers, or even climate scientists cannot tackle this problem on their own. We need to determine our response to the realization that we are living in a period coined the Anthropocene; a time defined by the very influence of human action on the environment we live in. The key to addressing the predicament we now find ourselves in: one of altered weather and climate, shifting ecosystems, unstable resources and numerous negative health effects, as well as possible mass migrations and copious extinctions; to survive it we must use an interdisciplinary approach. By involving as many sectors as possible, we will greatly increase our understanding of the problems we face, and we will be better equipped to address them and find solutions. Through cooperation and artful communication, together we can confront the looming repercussions of climate change.

Life on Earth, as we know it, is possible thanks to the natural effect known by the term greenhouse. The effluent gases, mainly water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and gases such as methane (CH4), nitrogen oxide (N2O) and tropospheric ozone (O3), allow solar energy to illuminate the Earth with visible light but also pressure infrared heat.1 This phenomenon keeps our planet sufficiently warm, ensuring the proper physiological functions of all organisms.1 The greenhouse effect that for millions of years was a blessing for the Earth, seems to have become a serious threat to the Earth during the last century due to human activity.

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.

Statistics show that on February 2017 it was reported that from 2016 Monarch Butterfly's population count, which was just about 150 million butterflies, nearly one third of that population decreased.As a matter of fact, these are the results of our actions like climate change, poaching/farming, pollution and the destruction of their habitats. As a result , it is a priority that the public is aware of these certain situations, so that we can fix the problem with climate change with some possible solutions.

Climate change revolves around claims that cannot be quantified and research with no backbone. Through the use of an exaggerated media, climate change has been turned into a certain doom that overshadows us, instead of a general guideline for responsible waste management. We have decided that the 1C change in temperature noted since we have begun to record temperature, means that we are heating the Earth and dooming our race. This is simply not true. Patrick L Barry says, “The Earth has gone through warming periods before without human influence, they note. And not all of the evidence supports global warming. Air temperatures in the lower atmosphere have not increased appreciably, according to satellite data, and the sea ice around Antarctica has actually been growing for the last 20 years” –Nasa Science Beta President Trump is not condoning unethical treatment of the Earth, but instead working to promote the wellbeing of American Citizens by withdrawing our financial contributions and crippling agreement to the Paris Accord.

Glaciers and arctic ice are melting. Oceans are growing increasingly acidic. Sea levels are rising. Droughts, floods, heatwaves, and downpours are becoming a regular occurrence. Climate change is not a hoax. The United States ranks second in the world regarding emissions of carbon dioxide. As more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere the Earth is gradually warming up. Even the slightest change in temperatures can make drastic changes in our climate. It is time to take action combatting climate change through lowering our use of fossil fuels, increasing our research development on geoengineering, and implementing a carbon tax.

Completely obliterating everything you love and own just because of a mistake you did not even notice you were making. Alison is a single mom who lives in Colorado and one mistake made her whole world literally burn down. Alison tells how harmlessly doing laundry caused her house fire; “I pulled my massage sheets out of the dryer and put them in a laundry basket, intending to fold them when I returned.” Upon returning to her house after work she was met with shock and her home’s windows unveiling menacing clouds of smoke. The family lost ninety percent of their belongings. Without her home Alison felt, “the unknown was so horrifying and unsettling and I just did not know what was ahead for me.”

Many would call this agreement an historic turning point. Whether it be positive or negative, people all over will have a different view on this accord. This deal is an agreement including all the world’s nations embarking on climate change. It is meant to rise global temperatures and speed up the process of doing so. Scientists have pointed out that this Paris Accord needs serious renovations and advancement in order to help stop very hazardous climate change. A key element here is to have the richer countries help the poorer countries by providing ‘climate finance’ in order to adopt to climate change and change to renewable energy. Each country had an individual plan tackling the greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. also pledged $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund which is meant to help countries adapt and fight climate change. As you can see, Obama gave up $3 billion not even to our country, America, but he gave our money to other countries. America is not at its best, so for Obama to only be worried about all the other countries of the world is beyond me. Trump withdrawing this agreement sounds like a great thing to me and a lot of other residents. We should not be giving other countries money to help themselves when we are not even helped. As a president, you should be doing anything and everything you can for YOUR country. My position on this, is that I think America should be stable and at a good place before we start helping others. Since May 2017, of the 196
