The Pros And Cons Of Climate Change

In the past few years, the issue of Climate Change has been introduced as an new and upcoming problem for modern leaders. There are many people who think Climate Change is a hoax, but at the same time there are many people who thinks it is the real deal. I am here to tell you that Climate Change is real and a very big problem. First off, Climate Change describes the increase level of greenhouse gases and the increase of temperature of the Earth overtime. In recent years temperatures in many areas have reached the highest they have ever been, and temperatures look to continue to rise.

First of all, for anyone that does not know what climate change is, it is a change in the world’s climate. A lot of people think weather and climate is the same thing but it is not. The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time. Climate is what the conditions are over relatively long periods of time. My belief of the issue is that climate change is man-made.

According to The Framework Convention on Climate Change, “[climate change is] a change of climate that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere, and that is in addition to natural climate variability over comparable time periods” (Pielke 31). Many climate change deniers like to focus on the latter portion of this definition, claiming that the warming changes currently being experienced throughout earth’s climate are a naturally occurring phenomenon, and that the earth goes through periods of

For those individuals who doubt climate change is real, I would strongly recommend they watch this documentary; it just might change their perspective on climate change and how it has led to extreme weather changes. Research shows that "Eighty-eight percent of natural resource professionals in this study agree or strongly agree that the science indicates that our climate is changing" (Allred et al. 10). The problem is most people do not truly believe the facts that are discovered by scientist. President Donald Trump is one example, you hear it over news reports saying that us as people do

Climate change is not real. The ice caps are not melting. Animals are not becoming endangered. Food is abundant on the land and in the sea. These are the arguments by naysayers and climate change deniers. These are the people who refuse to listen to generations of history and scientific research. These are the political administrations that will stop scientific advancements.

Climate change has become a major issue in global environmental politics as it has been shown to have a correlation with issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and desertification. As Chapter 45 states “The 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) found consensus in the scientific community that greenhouse gas emissions have significantly increased because of human activity and, further, that the modest temperature increases we have already experienced are “very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.” Due to this report awareness was brought to almost everyone of how serious human activity was to the global climate. In 2009, it was declared that “If global warming is to be limited to a maximum of two degrees C. above preindustrial values, global emissions need to peak between 2015 and 2020 and then decline rapidly”. To me this sounds foreboding and it is something that deserves our full attention immediately. To try and get a better understanding of how serious climate change is, I’m going to try and interpret chapter 45 which deals on climate change through 5 different paradigms of International Relations.

Climate change conspirators/deniers is a problem to today’s population. Climate change is defined as any irregularities in earth’s weather (NASA, 2017). Individuals who deny the scientific facts that are climate change is an interesting subset of the population. Climate change conspiracy theories typically challenge the scientific proof and ultimately claim that climate change is a hoax. The reasons these individuals give vary. For one, a major claim is that climate change is natural and not a result of human behaviour/consumption patterns. Another main argument is that the science is not reliable. Despite both, and hundreds of other arguments against climate change being proven wrong, these deniers continue to believe that climate change does not exist. The primary conspiracy theory that will be focused on is the belief that climate change is a sham. Two research questions that would help understand why individuals choose to believe this conspiracy theory are: are there any common demographics among climate change deniers; and, how is this belief perpetuated in the media?

Global warming is not fiction. Scientists have found new and dramatic evidence of what’s happening to our world, and the impact is already being felt; it’s time for the non-believers to begin believing. The extreme weather we’ve all suffered through, all across the world should be a default red flag in your mind letting you know climate change is occurring. People put forth climate change as if it was something new although the science demonstrating man-made climate change is quite old, presented, and well established. For the past 150 years, scientists have been aware that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse-gas. In the 1800s, Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist, performed the first calculations of what would happen in a hypothetical scenario where

President Trump, will the United States, will be the only government to take an opposing view on Globe warming. According to the CNN reporter, Michael Mann, Syria has offered to join in on the Paris climate agreement. Luckily, a new report released by two credible and major organizations on climate change, the US National Climate Assessment, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Mann reports, “a massive report assembled by hundreds of our nation's best scientists.” is keeping the shot light on the Trump administration.

Climate change is a fake. Many people say we have climate change, it’s because we use too much fossil fuels. We produce too much carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases. And then we have global warming. But actually, we feel the climate change or global warming it’s because human existence too short. Earth was formed around four and a half billion years ago. But human just appear only a sudden.

Climate change, global warming, greenhouse effect—even if you only watch the news periodically, these are phrases that you have most likely become aware of. In short, climate change is the change global and regional patterns regarding climate; this is due to possible changes in the Earth’s axis, human activity modifying the composition of the atmosphere, or geographical activity such as volcanic eruptions [1]. Many have speculated and argued whether climate change actually exists. Regardless of your opinion, a staggering amount of scientists have accepted climate change as a reality. In fact, the much-admired astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson claims that individuals denying scientific facts is the “beginning of the end of an informed democracy” [2]. The article Climate Change: No Hiding Place supports Neil deGrasse Tyson’s notion stating “those who doubt that greenhouse gases are quite the problem they have been cracked up to be by most of the world's climatologists” [3]. While it may be difficult to see climate change presently, there are many indicators of its existence with the higher temperatures and acidity levels in the ocean, the melting of Arctic ice caps,

Environmentalists believe that climate change is a significant issue that the government needs to work on it. Scientists have explained that many events including drought, flooding, severe weather, rising sea levels, acidifying rains, and wildfires have affected people’s lives and the planet due to climate change. Climate change is caused by increasing heat in the atmosphere. The consumption of fossil fuels and other emissions are trapping carbon dioxide in the air, which increases the temperature and the more carbon dioxide humans produce the more the environment rises in temperature (Meyer, 2017). The hotter temperature affects environment, economy, health, and security. For example, people who live near coal mines are at higher risk to get asthma than other places, or fishermen suffer from ocean acidification because their income is heavily relying on fishing (Frank, 2012). These two examples indicate that climate change is threatening the environment and can create disruptions.

Those in power, who believe climate change is a myth, are dangerous for humankind, the environment, and the future as well. Specifically focusing on Trump, who has been in office for a few days, and those he choose to be in various government positions, together, they have already done more damage than good towards the environment. The decisions Trump, and Scott Pruitt (head of the Environmental Protection Agency) made with freezing the EPA's aid negatively affects poverty-stricken areas, like Flint, Michigan. By making drastic decisions without even considering those in America without clean drinking water, highlights that not only is the environment neglected, but also helpless people. While the denial of climate change is present, environmental racism is at work as well.

Global warming skeptics say that there is no evidence to prove that global warming is really happening. The warmest years on record occur within the last eighteen years. Glaciers all over the world are receding. Carbon dioxide emissions have grown by 90% since 1970. Species are going extinct due to habitat loss. Weather is becoming more extreme, such as more droughts and more hurricanes. Ocean levels are rising. Climate change is a common occurrence for earth, and I think it's safe to say there is definately a climate change occurring. What people have to consider now is whether or not we will be able to sustain life for hundreds of years to come or if we should all just pack up and move to mars before the earth extincts us itself.

The Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years. On the other hand, humans have been around for over two thousand years. The Earth has been through lots of climate change but none like the one we are experiencing. The ice glaciers in Antarctica are melting faster than ever. Sea levels are increasing more than ever while on land, we are recording record high temperatures and droughts. In addition, many places around the world are experiencing floods more than normal. These disasters have been a hot topic in the news and the United States presidential debates. There are the Democrats who acknowledges these facts and the Republican who denies these facts. Most people have accepted the fact that carbon dioxide, CO2, are the primary contribution to climate change but some people have yet accept it. I believe climate change is real.
