The Pros And Cons Of 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.

Global warming is the steady heating of Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere caused primarily by human activity. Climate change is one of the world’s biggest challenges right now, from people actively arguing that it doesn’t exist- to other’s who don’t care enough to do anything about it. There’s evidence showing that climate change is happening and affecting our world now and from what it seems, if action isn’t taken, major consequences will soon arise. Most of the world’s land mass has experienced a 0.2-1.0 degree Celsius average temperature increase since the 1970s, the temperatures of the Artic has increased at almost twice the mean global rate. Climate change is caused by human factors such as greenhouse gases and ozone depletion and because humans are so dependent on fossil fuels in their day to day lives, the issue at hand is only going to get worse.

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.

Alleged Global Warming has been a hot topic and been widely reported in the American media since the 1970s. In March 2014, TED, a nonprofit committed to expanding ideas with short talks, gave a powerful presentation of the alleged current consequences of Global Warming in Gavin Schmidt’s (2014) talk: The emergent patterns of climate change. His claims are stark and he implores his audience to take the grave predictions of Global Warming seriously and not just write it off as insignificant. While Google Trends (2014) shows (graph 1) that search terms for global warming in the United States (red) have decreased while worldwide (blue) interest (image 1) fluctuates with India showing the most curiosity. Yet, not everyone agrees that Global

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.

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.

As climate change becomes increasingly recognized as the key environmental issue of our times (Verissimo et al 2014), there is overwhelming scientific consensus that only a large reduction in greenhouse gas emissions can reduce the risks and impacts associated with climate change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007). Yet, to achieve meaningful reductions, we will need to change the way we use energy. One of the more immediate and cost-effective paths to this change is to increase energy conservation and improve use efficiency (Alcott & Mullainathan,2010).

there has been many documented reports on climate change. There are still many people who believe that climate change is false. Most skeptics say that global warming is just one of Earth's many global cycles. They say they will have a stretch of Ice Age then swinging from massive glaciers to normal heat that is bearable to live in. You can hear this argument for many people from relatives and friends to even people on the news.Berkeley a nonprofit research and suit folks on climate change has released a paper on global warming hiatus. In 2015 Berkeley Starpointe now modern buoys that measure ocean temperatures tend to report slightly cooler temperatures than older ship-based systems even when measuring in the same parts of the ocean at same

Climate change, as both a major science debate and an economic issue, has become a major dividing point in American politics. Climate change, or global warming, has become a more prevalent issue in our society as the years pass by. Generally, this warming is attributed to the increase of green-house gases in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Science is making advances towards predicting future correlations between nature and human events. Many lines of evidence have been presented to the public to prove that climate change is and has been in progress for years now. However, some solar scientists are considering whether the warming

The warming of the Earth’s surface in the past century, or climate change, has been a big topic of debate in the recent years. With the passing of the Paris Agreement, the Obama administration was proud to add another win for climate change activists to their list. Supporters of climate change wish to combat this phenomenon by increasing government regulations and investing in alternative energy. This is met with much opposition as the current administration under President Donald Trump has consistently shown their disregard for the growing issue. Trump has rolled back many environmental regulations for the sake of big business. Because an overwhelming number of climate scientists agree that human activity is causing climate change and its long-term effects impact the global atmosphere, the current administration needs to take a stronger stance on climate reform.

Global warming is an unsolvable issue that the world is facing right now. Some causes of global warming are not a natural thing to happen in this environmental conflict. Numbers of scientists, environmentalists, and researchers has been trying to know the other reasons for the sudden changes of the climate over time. Many of these environmental specialists believe that the changes in the global climate are called the “global warming.” Based on the article of Chaya Dachoh, global warming is a global increase in the temperature of the earth 's atmosphere, usually due to the greenhouse effect, which is the result of excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants in the air. The temperature here on earth can skyrocket past 104 F and can drop lower than 32 F (Dachoh). The world has filled with many technologies that scientists and other environmentalists could use to determine or monitor the weather. Satellite is an example of calculating the atmospheric temperature by the radiation that oxygen is releasing in the atmosphere. By this, scientists can be able to determine the global average. However, humans are contributing to global warming and they are the one who can reduce it to eliminate all of the problems it causes.

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

Each year, the temperature of the Earth only gets worse due to human actions. “Global warming is already responsible for some 150,000 deaths each year around the world, and fear that the number may well double by 2030” (Gould). This statement proves that the choices we make and activities we take part in, affect the population’s health negatively. Humans do not have the capacity to easily adapt to extreme temperature or to any other events resulted by global warming. All the direct and indirect effects of extreme weather only hurt humans because we create this situation. Health is one of the main aspects that is negatively impacted due to the rise of temperature. Therefore, our priority should be to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But all these problems around us make it impossible to be healthy in many ways and this results in damaging the human development since the pregnancy and after it, lungs problems, and mental stability issues.
