The Importance Of Environmental Differences On The Environment

Enviropigs were produced to reduce the amount of pollutant waist, hog farms could raise significantly more hogs, and help meet environmental regulations. One of the reasons why the enviropig fail, was the lack of investment in continuing to study enviropigs and the company wanted to put more money towards other efficiencies in meat production. People were also very afraid to eat them, with fears the long term effects on their health. The enviropigs were also never tested for its effects on human allergies, since this type of food was never in there diets before. The best way to decrease environments impacts, is to decrease the amount of meat that is consumed.

The environment has changed over the years. Back in the 1980’s people were concerned about the environment. That was the earliest people began to worry about the whole environment. During this time people find out the environment was getting polluted more and more each day. Many people don’t know that the environment has a very important role in life. It just isn’t about the trees anymore like people thinks it does.

The problem that the pro- global warming theorists have created is that of social standing and little else. While there may be scientific backing to support some of the theory, the media presents the problem with great sensationalism. Global warming and energy conservation has thus become a trend and losses some of its validity through this. The scare tactics used by the media to “promote awareness” are just that, a linguistic ploy to gain favor. “Awareness of this global threat reinforced public concern and environmental problems and thereby provided environmental activists, scientists, and policy makers with new momentum in their efforts to promote environmental protection.” (McCright, 2000) This statement draws line to the potential benefits that would be received if the pro-global warming theorists were to draw enough attention to the issue. Driven by social empowerment and conviction to environmental protection, these activists misrepresent the actual threat and paint it as being much more

The subject of environmentalists is one that is just asking for a series of childish bickering amongst fully grown adults. No one can ever agree to disagree because everyone wants to be right. Of course, that is impossible, but God forbid that people just come to a reasonable agreement to leave opinions as they are, opinions. Mr. Edward O. Wilson does a very good job illustrating how pointless these political arguments are. How does he do this? He simply writes his own passages, setting himself in the shoes of both of the opposing parties.

Environmental differences affected social, political, and economic institutions in the Delhi Sultanate, the Swahili city-states, and Mali. Many of these differences helped the civilizations, but some affected them badly. Mali had abundant rainfall and a very tropic climate which helped with the fertile soil in the area for farming. Although there was also high mountain ranges and plateaus that had cooler weather and shorter growing seasons. Malians adapted to this tropic climate by using their positive environmental factors to outweigh their negatives. Although the mountainous regions took space from farming areas, there was abundant wild food and fish that helped the Malian civilization develop without farming, agriculture, or herding.

Most people who hear the politicians’ speeches on the environment are unconvinced by their arguments.

With today’s broad spectrum of opposing political ideals, climate change is one of the most polarizing and argued points. In an article entitled “Why Some Conservatives Can’t Accept That Climate Change Is Real” by Carolyn Gregoire, we are presented the supposed thought process and biases held by modern conservatives. The author, Carolyn Gregoire, serves as a senior science and health writer at The Huffington Post. Though challenging competency is a common attack used on both sides of the political isle, this piece sidesteps petty mudslinging and instead takes root in the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives. Inherently, as a political piece, this article criticizes the conservative thought camp. In doing so, this article (like a majority of articles on the Huffington Post) is written towards a sympathetic, liberal audience. Pertaining mainly to psychology, there is no doubt logos is the appeal used by the author. Furthermore, with logos often comes strong, inductive reasoning. As we delve deeper into this article, we also will examine and explore several fallacies implemented by the author. Also

The left brains linear way of thinking can be useful in some cases but often times fails to look at the whole picture. The conservatives are the same way when it comes to the environment and some of them refuse to believe global warming's existence. One example of this comes from a senate meeting where conservative Senator James Inhole brought in a snowball and threw it claiming that global warming did not exist simply because it was snowing outside. This way of thinking is exactly why conservatives choose to ignore the environment

In the news report “Climate of Doubt”, PBS FRONTLINE investigates the reasoning behind the relationship climate change and politics has been fluctuating over the past few decades. In 2006, An Inconvenient Truth, a film that called for action against climate change, gained mass attention from the American Public. However, this rally for environmental sustainability created some undesirable consequences. There is a growing movement for anti-climate change by various CEOS, scientists, politicians, etc. that have been marketing against green movements. They claim that climate change was developed out of scientific malpractice, has no scientific backing, and the bad weather we experience is no more abnormal than it was a century ago.

Most people agree that climate change and environmental sustainability are important issues, but not many take action to mitigate the increasing flow of greenhouse gasses and other environmental problems (CITATION290). This publication explores why. Structural barriers that are beyond an individual’s reasonable control are part of the answer, but psychological barriers also hinder behavioral choices that would facilitate mitigation, adaptation and environmental sustainability (CITATION290).

As more scientific evidence has surfaced in recent years in relevance to global warming, many informed individuals feel as though the environment is an important political issue. The Republican party stresses that conservation is a conservative value and private property ownership is key to an environmental agenda. The Democratic party aims to restore wilderness and watersheds for generations to come. However, they honor hunting & fishing heritage via more conservation lands. The Green party advocates strongly for environmental issues, as made clear by their name. This party believes that: the Human species has no right to exploit animals, sustainable society lives within planet’s resource limits, and we should safely dispose of all waste we create. A scientist who knows the effects of global warming and the state of our planet may feel obligated to vote for the Green party because of their environment issues, solely. Therefore, this shows how a single issue may sway a voter on election

One could say ideology plays a role in peoples’ refusal to accept climate change as a real problem, but one could also say ignorance also factors in. Many businesses that help contribute to climate change deny it due to negative effects that could hurt their business. They care more about making money than they do about wanting the planet to live. Which would be fine if that decision didn’t also impact every plant, animal, and person living on the planet.

Dr. Art Markman and Dr. Bob Duke, in the lecture If It’s Unsustainable, Why Does It Feel So Good?, spoke about why we are so willing to ignore environmental issues and the solutions to these problems. The main idea of the lecture was that in order for there to be real change, there must be social pressure put upon each member of society to do the “right” thing in terms of what is in the best interest of the environment. People need to feel good about their choices, they have to find it enjoyable to do things environmentally friendly. An example used in the lecture was when one pulls over to help someone

attitudes toward global warming are shaped by an individual’s personal experience. Which they validate by performing over 2100 surveys across four different states. Respondents were provided with comprehensive information about the effects of several factors on their views about global warming. Briefly put, the study found that views on climate change in the United States were being shaped by a mix of personal experiences, events, and physical changes on the planet in this study most respondents were as although the focus of their data concentrates on the Individual-Level Causes of Belief in Climate Change. They also discover that there are other factors at play that they have to take into consideration, which is what sets this study apart from the one that came before it. Borick and Rabe as oppose to Carlisle and Smith believe demographics – more specifically party affiliation – play a role in an individual’s views towards environmental

Every year education was a positive predictor for TEA and for many of the years, political ideology (being more liberal) was also a significant predictor. Political ideology was not significant for green consumerism, which was somewhat unexpected. However, one could argue that the rationale behind green consumerism seems to be based on conservative principles that of the free market. The location of the respondent, suburban and urban, rarely mattered. Urban was found to be a negative predictor for either green consumerism or traditional environmental activism a handful of times.
