Should one be concerned about rising global temperatures? How might increasing global temperatures affect us? These are all questions and concerns on the minds of many as they decide where to stand on the issue and credibility of global warming. On one side of global warming are those who believe that it is a scientifically credible concern while on the other side are arguments against global warming and an overall consensus that it is not a threat. Both sides implement several tactics including rhetorical strategies to counter the arguments of their opposition.
These are the clues that prove the climate is changing day by day. Begley suggests there is no certain way to stop climate change due to global warming, so now people need to find out how they are going to make efficient adaptation plans to keep the planet safe from climate changing threat. Rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Small changes in the average temperature of the planet can be a large and potentially
Global warming Do you believe in global warming? I don’t global warming has been a huge debate that will never come to an end. The liberals believe that humans play the biggest part of global warming because we burn fossil fuels and think we need to find a cleaner way to produce energy. The conservatives show that it’s the earth natural cycle and that the earth has been heating and cooling through out history. My views lean toward the conservatives side I believe in facts and proof.
Or does our history prove that Global Warming is just a part of nature? There are arguments on the causes of Global Warming; whether it is caused by humanity or whether it is caused by nature and more important there are arguments about the impact of Global Warming; some believe in positive outcomes and some believe in negative consequences. Is Global Warming really all negative or is it possible that there are benefits from Global Warming? The causes of Global warming
The longer the worlds nations wait to respond, the more costly the response will be (Herzog, 1999). It would appear that Canada is an ideal place live, yet in order to succeed and live in this fast past environment, a few unknowingly sacrifices have been made. Canada is one of the main contributors of emission and other deadly gases, which leads to global climate change and therefore should take a more aggressive approach in finding solutions. By not concentrating on finding ways to reduce emission gases, the ozone layer continues to deplete, and therefore causes the climate to change worldwide. Nevertheless it is also
June Avant English 101 November 22, 2010 Global Warming Controversy Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere which causes climatic changes. Global warming leads to changes in rainfall patterns, sea level, negative impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. Al Gore and Daniel Botkin both have great points about global warming. Botkin has a scientific perspective about global warming; however, Gore’s position is better. Al Gore uses facts and evidence to support his views about global warming.
Furthermore, online participation denoted that the paleoclimate graphs show correlation of CO2 and temperature are not clear doer. As additional challenge, James Balog (2009) provided data which seems the less likely with the accuracy. As for instance, he acknowledged how twenty years ago, the small ice-mass responded rapidly to climate in Greenland; this gradually start to react to the changes then followed by a huge increase of temperature ( 14.29). So what causes the rise of the two decades from the past? It appeared that his claim is merely an
Eaarth Chapters 1 & 2 We’ve changed the planet. Global warming is no longer philosophical or future threat but instead a current and very real threat. The changes made to our planet are more evident in the toughest parts of the planet, and climate change is wrecking the lives of thousands daily. We need to consider the world we’ve created and how to live in it. We need to figure out what part of our lives we must forego and what ideologies we must abandon so that we can protect our societies and our civilizations.
Can a sustainable energy supply be maintained in the future? Ensuring the supply of energy for future generations and preventing further environmental damage is one of the main concerns facing the generations of today. Using current sources of power at the levels we are today are unsustainable and will result in serious environmental consequences. By developing alternatives and reducing the demand of energy, sustainable energy supply may be achieved. Supplying a sustainable source of energy for today’s population is already a challenge, however in the future the world’s population is set to hit a peak of 7.8 billion.
David Zhang Ms. Khan ENG3U1-08 25 March 2012 Oryx and Crake: Climate Change Climate change is a tough subject for humans to deal with; ever since the Industrial Revolution, our dramatically increased consumption of energy over the century has brought about immense consequences. Abnormal weather conditions, an increased frequency of natural disasters, and rising sea levels are what many of us claim to be part of a “natural cycle”. However, it is no coincidence that we are on the wrong end of that “natural cycle”, and our behaviours and activities have only caused it to worsen. Climate change will worsen if we continue to disregard its existence and compromise with its consequences, rather than confronting the source of the issue and taking responsibility. Our irresponsibility could ultimately lead to the destruction of our world and civilization, as portrayed in “Oryx and Crake” by Margaret Atwood.
