The Pros And Cons Of Global Warming

However, forests around the world are under threat from deforestation, jeopardizing these benefits. Deforestation comes in many forms, including fires, clear-cutting for agriculture, ranching and development, unsustainable logging for timber, and degradation due to climate change. This impacts people’s livelihoods and threatens a wide range of plant and animal species. Some 46-58 thousand square miles of forest are lost each year, which is equivalent to 36 football fields every minute.

Global warming is an important issue in the world today and concerning its future. There are many factors that affect global warming and its levels. Though some of these causes of global warming are due to natural events, many are the result of human structures and activities. Global warming is mostly due to the emission of greenhouse gases and can have very negative consequences on the environment and society (“Global Warming”).

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?

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.

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.

Richard Hilderman, who has a P.H.D in microbiology, said “The 20th Century has been warmer than any other time period in the last 400 years” (60+). Climate change has been brought upon by the burning of fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases (Hilderman 60+). The greenhouse gases then make a “blanket” surrounding the earth, which traps heat, making the world warmer (Hilderman 60+). Even though there are some overstated facts regarding climate change, policies to stop it would have a positive effect on the job and economic market, and climate change is the most pressing issue of today that needs more attention and worldwide policies to combat it.

Everyone is being lied to! Everyone believes in man-made climate change when it’s not even real. I’m here to tell you the truth. These reasons explain how everyone wastes their time and energy worrying about climate change. They waste their money on projects that don’t help, people believe in the politicians that started the lie, and the miners lose their jobs. I’m going to talk to you about climate change.

The Earth could die by global warming, if humans don’t make a change of how we treat the environment. Global warming means that the Earth’s temperature is rising, getting warmer, because of the greenhouse effect (Global Warming and Climate Change). The greenhouse effect is when the gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap heat onto Earth and stop it from going to space. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.Burning fossil fuels is the main reason global warming is increasing. When we burn fossil fuels, we are releasing carbon dioxide. The more gases in the atmosphere means the higher the temperature. The hot temperature is one of the reason of the constant occurring natural disasters and climate change. Global warming is affecting our weather, ocean, food, and health, therefore everyone should help decrease it.

The climate over the last 100 years has been heating rapidly. Many people still argue whether or not climate change is real. However, that is no longer the question. The question has become: Has the climate been pushed past the point of no return?

According to Alina Bradford in the article, What is global warming?, “Global warming is the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere.” Scientists have tracked and determining if the earth temperature has risen or is decreasing. Scientists have seen an increase of about 1.4 degrees in temperature in the past century and are supposed to keep rising. Climate change is a huge issue because sea level is rising, Glaciers are disappearing due to climate, increasing and melting them, damage ecosystem, and also droughts in many countries. All of those reasons don't just affect me but everything on this planet. Everyone on earth is involved with global warming, For example Bangladesh, Sudan, and Haiti have all been major affected by global warming, Many of their crops are getting destroyed and floods are killing and destroying citizen homes and lands. The top five countries that are threatened by Global Warming are Haiti, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, and Madagascar. There aren't much recent development, but NASA has put out a reported saying that over the last century that we have burned fossil fuel such as coal, oil, and gasses which have increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect.

Global warming has become a world wide issue and an issue that is causing great controversy. It is an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution (Dictionary). Global warming is a natural process, but because of increase in certain activities this process is taking a faster and more dangerous route creating global problems. Global warming was first theorized in 1894 by Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier a French mathematician, who noticed the earth was gradually increasing in temperature. He came to the conclusion that the earth’s atmosphere was trapping solar radiation caused by the sun and reflecting this radiation back to

There is a serious situation is occurring on planet Earth that is causing a significant and harmful effect on communities, health, and the climate. It is Global Warming which can be defined as the constant heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere. In order to understand global warming, the most important basic is to figure out how the of greenhouse effect plays an important part in its development. The greenhouse effect is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) that trap heat in the atmosphere that keeps the Earth warm. The information this text will discuss is the meaning of global warming, the causes, and most importantly how citizens can help to rectify the situation. Humanity must tickle this problem immediately before the consequences increase and affect the entire planet.

Deforestation is an increasing global crisis and is mainly caused by human actions. Forests cover approximately 31% of the area on the planet (Deforestation, n.d.). Deforestation is the destruction of a wide area of forest land into a cleared land that is used for a variety of reasons. The impact on the environment from cutting down, burning and damaging forests is very detrimental and there are severe consequences for the environment and future generations due to deforestation. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, approximately 7.3 million hectares of forests are being destroyed per year in the world (Bradford, 2015). In this essay, I will explore the impact that deforestation on the environment and I will
