The Issue Of Climate Change

The world now faces one of the most and complex issues it has ever had to deal with: climate change. Many people believe it 's not true and caused much uproar on the topic. But most of the world’s great nations or company leaders can no longer deny that it is a real issue. The huge impact that humans have had on the Earth has literally changed the climate and how it functions. Higher temperatures are reported yearly and even monthly, stronger storms are forming causing harsh tornados or hurricanes, and some of the planet’s critical nonrenewable resources are being depleted forever. For all of these major changes that in the very end affect everyone on Earth, The nations of the world have not all gone about climate change in the same

Climate change is one of the most controversial and ongoing topics in society today. Scientist and politicians alike all have opinions, but very often they are not in line with each other. 97% of climatologists agree that climate change is happening, as well as many of the large corporations in this field such as NASA, the Geological Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of science. Still, these debates take place on sites such as climatedebatedaily.com or the worldwide conference that was held on June 6, 2015 that took place 79 countries. Both sides claim to have solid evidence that supports their theories, but it is evident to most scientists and corporations alike that the human race is creating our own destruction

Critically assess how the media have used the scientific evidence in the debate around the climate change, and its causes and/or effects

Climate change is one of the most talked-about topics since the past two decades. The planet and its habitants are suffering from this change and, at first sight, people think that they are the only affected by climate change, but this thought is incorrect. In fact, the fauna and flora, and of course the weather are also affected. To combat these problems, many scientists are trying to analyze the behavior of the animals and of the plants to see their reactions to its changes, 195 countries try to find solutions to slow down this phenomenon at the Conference of the Parties every year, awareness campaigns are launched so that citizens can contribute to this slowdown and many more. Many disasters are caused by global warming and this is likely

Climate change has been a widely debated, controversial topic. Some think that it is not an issue that should be payed much attention to. With climate changing being caused naturally and by humans, the climate has been widely changing due to ample amounts of CO2 emissions. Where the burning of fossil fuels is the main source of the human impact. As well as volcanoes being a majority the of natural emissions. Although nature contributes to the climate change humans have more widely contributed to the change of climate abroad.

Global climate change has been a controversial issue for many years. Global climate change, often referred to as ‘global warming,’ is a broad issue that encompasses many categories. However, I have decided to focus more the on the health issues that arise due to the effects that Global Climate Change has had on this planet. As a concerned citizen, it is important to take into account where diseases are coming from and why people are getting ill; whether this is caused due to sanitation, vector or food borne factors. If physicians are able to practice preventative medicine more, then there is a chance to decrease the number of people that get ill. Global Climate Change is and should be a topic of concern because it is affecting the health of

The key issue of our time, according to McMichael, is global climate change (McMichael, 2008). Because of the greenhouse effect, overall temperatures of the earth have gradually increased to dangerous levels making global climate change the greatest environmental threat. Furthermore, it is believed climate change may be irreversible at this point. There is minimal time to reverse the greenhouse effect, and the goal is a ninety percent reduction in gas emissions. There is significant scientific evidence that more than a two percent Fahrenheit increase in the global temperature threatens the planet's natural systems and human well-being and health. As the world races against time to prevent the earth from becoming uninhabitable, world leaders

There is an issue on this planet that will define this generation. The issue is climate change. Global warming. A world on the collapse as our oceans are acidified, our air polluted, our forests disappearing, and human rights issues getting worse. It seems that people are not aware of how big climate change actually is. It’s not something that only takes place on the ice caps or in the forests on the far corners of the world. This is an issue that happens here, and now. It’s real. It’s happening.

Both Al Gore and Daniel Botkin have different arguments on global warming. They are both think very similar on the same topic. Because one part of the argument is serious, and the other one is not so much. But, the point is that both of their stories are pointing out to their views on this issue. But, according to Webster Dictionary, Global Warming is when the increase in the world’s temperature that is to believe to increase by carbon dioxide. Both of the authors have a different view on this topic they have a different position, logic, and facts on what Global warming really is.

Is mankind going to willingly make life on Earth miserable for the next generation? Our climate is changing due to humanity’s irresponsible actions, and many are just living their lives as if nothing is going on. The issue of anthropogenic, or human caused climate change has arose due to the increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere. Of these, Carbon dioxide is a huge culprit in anthropogenic climate change, as humans produce incredible amounts of it through environmentally irresponsible machines. Also, the issue of anthropogenic climate change is becoming a political issue, with the main argument being over regulation of businesses to reduce carbon output. Whether humans are politically active or not, they need to realize that anthropogenic climate change is a real issue and begin to fix it. To realize that the issue of anthropogenic climate change is true and begin to fix it, the population of Earth must understand the evidence of the crisis, the effects of the crisis, and how it can be fixed.

There is a dire divide between scientists politicians in America that has potential to seriously harm the entirety of the world. Nothing represents that divide as closely as the debate over climate change. An almost unanimous amount, 97%, of climate scientists believe there is strong evidence to support global warming (nasa.gov.) In congress, over quarter of Representatives and Senators obstinately believe the opposite, no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary (thinkprogress.org.) The depth of the issue became especially apparent when Senator Jim Inhofe, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, brought a snowball into congress as testimony against global warming. Even after thousands of people have pointed out the

Take a deep breath and imagine it is Sunday morning. The birds are chirping, the air is crisp with freshness, and the sun is radiating at a perfect temperature of 62 degrees. The coast is a 6-minute drive away, and this is the perfect day to take a short journey to the rocky shore and splash in the water. However, there is one problem, an action such as driving to the beach front will almost certainly contribute to the destructive effects of climate change. Due to this claim, is it then morally obligatory to not go on this Sunday morning drive in an effort to prevent greenhouse gas emissions?

The effects of climate change are much more complex then a simple rise in temperature. Habitats and the species that rely on them are disappearing, in what I view as a ‘snowball effect’ of biodiversity loss. A reduction in a species habitat will have dire consequences for them as well as other species that co-exist with them, over time every aspect of that environment is affected. In the Artic, sea ice is melting at a faster then it has in centuries. According to an article published by Aarhus University "Climate change is by far the worst threat to Arctic biodiversity. Temperatures are expected to increase more in the Arctic compared to the global average, resulting in severe disruptions to Arctic biodiversity some of which are already visible” (Aarhus University, 2013). Among the many species being affected, the polar bear population has already experienced serious decline because of its reliance on sea ice. Polar bears rely on the sea ice to hunt, breed, and, in some cases, den. Changes in their population and distribution are starting to become noticeable within the Arctic ecosystem. There are social, environmental and economic effects associated with the negative effects climate change has on the polar bear population. Because of these dire consequences related to climate change, swift action must be taken in order to help protect this species and its environment.

We as a society have reached one of the most crucial time periods in the history of our world. Due to the way we have used the resources on this earth we have created a situation in which our climate is drastically changing. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil has caused gases like carbon dioxide to become trapped in the atmosphere causing a natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect has caused the earth’s average temperature to rise and has resulted in arctic glaciers melting. These glaciers had gases trapped inside them that are now being released into the atmosphere further raising the earth's temperature. Due to the way we are polluting our air we have caused global warming. This global warming has caused stronger natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires putting our society in more danger than ever before.

The issue of global warming should be on the list of our top priorities. Studies show that the average of global temperatures have risen since the Industrial Revolution began. Since the Industrial Revolution, human emissions has quadrupled the frequency of certain heat extremes and many scientists have warned that a failure to bring greenhouse gases under control could eventually lead to a 62-fold increase in extreme heat blasts (Gillis Justin A17). Most of the increase is due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These activities contribute to a build-up in carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is made of gases like nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gases act as a blanket that covers and gives us warmth, but once these gases such as carbon dioxide absorbs heat, but does not release it back into space in which causes the increase in global temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect because it only traps heat but does not release it.
