The Argument Against Climate Change

The climate change is overall change, which has taken place in global climate pattern due to increase of carbon dioxide in many folds. Whether it is responsibility of individual or the government to control the climate change has become a moot point for many years. Proponents and opponents of both the views have their own strong arguments. Before coming to an end, I would like to light on both the views in my imminent paragraphs.

The North American Drought of 1988 marked the very first time global warming crossed over from scientists to mass media coverage. Following an American professor’s address to the Senate correlating abnormal weather to global warming, European nations addressed the issue, and many countries began to reduce greenhouse gas. The European Union ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to make it legally binding. In Europe, global warming was acknowledged as a problem, with the only debate centered around how serious of a problem it was- 87% said it was a very serious problem, where around 10%

The argument about man’s role in climate change and the role of government, the role of industry and the role of citizens is a significant challenge that crosses all levels of government, crosses all geopolitical boundaries and crosses all sectors of business. National governments across the globe are dealing with the issue in different ways, but one overarching aspect of control and mitigation can be seen in the oversight and regulation of the electric energy industry. One significant challenge facing each nation is the cost to lower carbon emissions and the question of who will pay the additional cost for compliance. Though the cost issue is significant, a much more difficult question is whether any decision on lowering emissions can make

The issue of scarcity in the face of climate change is something that cannot be completely solved without the contribution and sacrifice from every single living being on this planet. The rate at which climate change is occurring, is significantly increasing due too various factors, like "biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as global warming." While there is a significant amount of damage that has already impacted our planet, there are still various ways that we the living beings that inhabit the planet can take action in the hopes of halting the rate at

We can involve climate change in our daily activities, like living in energy-efficient homes and energy-efficient places, Minimizing polluting transportation and eating less meat. According to Professor Jonathan Taylor, Southern California is one of the energy-efficient places in the U.S. Living in energy-efficient places would lead to less carbon emissions and minimizing transportation which does not cause a lot of pollution. Pollution leads to climate change. Buses and cars are major causes of pollution. Walking and cycling are healthier, does not cause pollution and good for your health. We should eat less meat because it leads to less greenhouse emissions (Taylor, 25th February).

In Dayton Duncan’s New York Times op-ed “Are We Loving Our National Parks to Death” he brings up the argument about how we are not preserving our national parks like we use to when they were first established. Duncan also tells us that climate change is affecting some of the national parks. Climate change is man made and we need to change our ways or the future generations won't be able to see some of the national parks. Scientists today are more certain, than what they have been in the past, that climate change is man made. Climate change causes natural disasters to happen more frequently and makes them hit harder. Even though there is data that proves that climate change is caused by humans, there are still people who deny it because they

Propaganda infested the debate on climate change after interest groups’ increasingly high expenditures financed the argument against climate change. Although propaganda is blatantly common on both sides, the opponents’ weakest link is the science and therefore the logic. Phillips and the Americans for Prosperity abundantly spent on advertisements that persuaded the American public's opinion on climate change. These advertisements were full of logical fallacies, admittingly by Phillips. Eventually, the U.S. Senate took a delagate role where “constituents’ opinions and preferences [are] reflected in legislative opinion”. From the ground up, Americans for Prosperity’s money and propaganda convinced the U.S. Senate to vote against the cap-and-trade

The video shows animal agriculture is the most reason of climate change. It is more pollution than industrial fields. However, I suspect some information in the video. For example, Americans consume average 209 pound of meat per year, so it is unbelievable because they count both meat-eaters and no meat-eaters. They calculate that it need 3.7 million acres to plant grass for raising cow, but it is around 20% total land area in the U.S for agriculture. It shows that animal agriculture waste too much water. I do not think they divide exactly climate, environment, and technology for raising animal. If we raise animal outdoor at hot climate, it would be use a lot of water. If we raise animal on mountain with

Over 35 years ago, climatologist Wally Broecker coined the term global warming in a paper outlining the trends that he was noticing with temperature and C02 levels (Stefan). Ever since then, the debate has heated up on the controversy of global warming. Politicians have even used the issue to boost their campaigns. Some question whether the earth’s temperature is rising at an unusual rate. Scientists perform experiments from glacial ice to observe the correlation between carbon dioxide levels and temperature. Scientists have changed the debate over the years from debating whether global warming was actually happening to the current debate about what is causing global warming. Therefore, the term global warming in this paper refers to

which it is caused by humans, its impacts on nature and human society, or the potential of

Population has surpassed seven billion people, and it is unlikely that the rate of increase will slow down any time soon. The constantly growing population undoubtedly puts a large strain on the environment. First of all, with the ever increasing amount of mouths to feed, there needs to be an ever increasing supply to feed those mouths. Because of this, the agricultural sector has significantly grown. Increased animal farming has caused a high release of methane, and as R. L. M. Schils, a global change biologist states, “[greenhouse gas] emissions… are the highest in regions with high animal densities, like the Netherlands and Belgium” (382). This connection between methane and animal population additionally suggests an indirect relationship between human population and

Here at The United Students Against Climate Change organization, our allegiance is to our planet and our goal is to help improve the environment we all live in. Because of these values that our organization holds, we cannot support Trump or his way of thinking, as they prove to be disastrous in regard to global warming and climate change. We join countless other environmental organizations in the fight against climate change, coming up with ways to combat it and inspiring others to make the changes necessary towards bettering our planet. He has said he wants to produce more coal, more oil, and more natural gas. He’ll also throw out the Obama administration’s regulations on emissions from power plants. This will only set us backward and make the world we live in and the air we breathe more at risk. During a time when sea levels and temperatures are rising, children are being poisoned by lead in their

Many people do not fear the effects of climate change because global warming is a gradual and vastly impersonal thing, and it causes the people no immediate danger now to really fear per say. This appears to be true, a poll conducted by Yale University shows that 65% of people believe that global warming will harm future generations of people and a little more than half that number believe that climate change will affect them personally. The majority of issues that grasp our attention are things that involve P.A.I.N, according to Daniel Gilbert a psychologist. P.A.I.N is an acronym for threats that affect us personally, abruptly, immorally, and now. Another reason why many people don’t believe in climate change is that we have a “pool of worry”,

“There are many different views on climate change, and how people view it. Climate change is a debated topic by many different researchers and scientists. Some people think we are causing it, some people think modern technology is causing it, and some people think that it isn’t even happening at all. Creationists don’t deny climate change, but what they do deny is, The worldview-based assumptions that determine secular scientists’ interpretations and conclusions about the evidence” (Foley, Avery. “Science Confirms Climate Change!”). As Christians we need to use the earth in ways that benefit humans because we have been given dominion over the earth. “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it.” (New International

Climate change is a worldwide issue. Not only is firm action and leadership critical in the United States, but also international efforts need to work toward reducing emissions. Strong public demand for climate change is crucial to enact effective global warming solutions for the future. Unless immediate action is taken, climate change will continue to escalate and continue to affect the entire planet. Ways nations and individuals can help repair the earth's atmosphere is reduce air pollution, use green energy, stop deforestation. Reducing air pollution could have a dramatic effect on climate change. Humans could impact this reduction by simple things such as conserving
