EA2 Arg. Essay
How would you feel if you lost your home to floods or extreme weather? Well this might be the future of our planet if we continue emitting greenhouse gases carelessly. We should limit our greenhouse gas emissions in order to save human lives and prevent climate change.
One clear benefit of limiting greenhouse gases is that by limiting the emissions we would save thousands of lives around the world. According to the article “Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Could Prevent Premature Deaths” by LiveScience “researchers found that aggressively reducing greenhouse gas emissions could help prevent 300,000 to 700,000 premature deaths by the year 2030,” and “3 million by 2050.” And these are just

For example, according to ScienceDaily “2015 was the hottest year on record,” which it took the title from 2014 and by estimates 2016 will be even hotter. And plus, the sun is producing less Solar Energy than usual which means we should be going through a period of cooling not warming. This is caused by greenhouse gases capturing heat from the sun, and where did these extra gases come from? Our cars, businesses and homes. And because of this drought like conditions will last longer and ice will melt. This is why people like you and me need to take a stand against climate change to save our planet before it …show more content…
Without farmland starvation will be more widespread and children won’t grow properly because they won’t get the nutrients they need. The lack of good land to grow crops wouldn’t just affect humans, it would affect animals as well. Most farm animals depend on food that is grown on the farm and fertile land without farms could be valuable feeding grounds for millions of animals. So next time you drive by a farm think about how one day the farm might shut down because of what we have done.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, we have been digging hole that we are burying ourselves in. Help prevent this from happening by limiting your own carbon footprint so your children and grandchildren don’t have to worry about a problem we forced upon them to
Abstract: The pressing issue of climate change is attributed to both human and microbial activity. The latter is often overlooked because the media places heavy emphasis on human actions, such as burning fossil fuels, to be the drivers of global warming—some have gone so far as to label this epoch “The Anthropocene.” While humans do impact the environment, it is inappropriate to call it “The Anthropocene” because it undermines microbes’ relationship with the soil, and the centrality of their role in ecosystems. Therefore, the solutions I offer to mitigate climate change, and its consequences such as famine and spread of diseases, consider the interactions between the biotic and abiotic worlds. In this speech, I also discuss how my actions would attempt to alleviate climate change issues, and how the measures the UNFAO takes would increase everyday social responsibility. The UNFAO should 1. Promote no-till agriculture 2. Fund research to develop technology to improve power plants and 3. Subsidize public transport.
First of all, in order to reduce the global warming, we need to reduce the pollution. There are many things an individual can do to reduce the impact on the environment. For example, instead of throwing bottles, we can recycle them. The plastic manufacturing process results in the creation of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which is thought to contribute significantly to the global warming effect. Since the process for recycling plastic water bottles requires less energy and fossil fuels, it also results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, recycling plastic water bottles also help to decrease the amount of pollution in the air and water sources. Moreover, recycling paper also helps reduce the global warming. For example, if we recycle paper, it helps preserve forests, because it
We cut down on greenhouse gases because we started using more natural gas. Natural gas is so much cleaner than gas, coal, and fossil fuels. This explains that natural gas is
Question “Do you know that using cars for the planet is like smoking cigarettes for people?”
A) (Subpoint) Climate change is the change of climate in a locations usual weather during different seasons. Once all of these separate climates begin to change so does the Earth’s.
A. Hook: Some people claim ignorance about this topic, but while people don’t give the required attention, important data show increases in global temperature and media, schools and seminars are discussing this.
A. Attention Getter – The uninhabitable Earth, is what we`ll soon be called. Anticipating what the exact effects will be on mankind and other living organisms on planet Earth is tricky, however, a continuously growing amount of evidence suggest that it will be intense. In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.
A recent report released by the Environmental Protection Agency, titled “Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action” suggest that climate change impacts can be reduced or avoided through greenhouse gas mitigation. It focuses on the physical and economic risks of unmitigated climate change and the benefits the United States would have if they tackled the issue of climate change in a timely manner.
B) Also instead of turning up the heat when your cold, put on an extra layer of clothes. Again you'll be saving energy and money.
There has been so much increasing talk regarding climate change in the last few years. My Ted Talks speaker is related to that very subject, climate change. The Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.5 degree F over the past century, and is projected to rise another 0.5 to 8.6 degree F over the next hundred years. For the people of Kiribati, climate change isn’t something to be debated, denied or legislated against – it’s an everyday reality. In this remote nation of 33 islands, located in the central Pacific Ocean, the land is disappearing one inch at a time, as ocean waves slowly creep inland. This Pacific island nation may soon be underwater, thanks to rising sea levels.
Global warming has been a controversial topic for years and some have even denied its existence; however, as more studies are being published every day in regards to our changing climate, it is hard to ignore this growing issue and how humans contribute to it. The term greenhouse gases refers to the group of gases that are primarily responsible for global warming and chief among these gases is carbon dioxide. Rising carbon dioxide levels can be attributed to a combination of burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum as well as deforestation in general ( Source A). To slow the effects of global warming, it is important for leaders in our society to consider their greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, and make
Carbon dioxide levels are at an all-time high and so are the Earth’s temperatures. On Wednesday, the Earth reached a record breaking high temperature. Some officials may argue that this is simply a one-year occurrence, but the temperatures have been on a record-breaking rise for three continuous years. The rising temperatures can be seen in a variety of places. In the arctic, the temperatures are 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal. These high temperatures are melting the ice leading to the oceans rising, and oceans are also now bearing the weight of the rising temperatures by absorbing the excess heat. The rising temperatures can easily damage aquatic life, but an even more dangerous consequence is coastal flooding. One cause of the rising temperatures is the burning of fossil fuels. Scientists claim, “the heat accumulating ...is roughly equal to the energy that would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs exploding across the planet every day”. Another example of the rising temperatures is the also record breaking temperature of 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit in India.
The disasters of global warming struck the entire earth community. From the last century, our motherly earth rises 1 degree celsius on its average temperature (logos--Number and statics). People are having terrible heat stroke and other health problem like headache and fever. And according to World Health Organization in 2010, more than 135000000 people’s health suffered from this extreme misery from days to days (logos--Number and statics).
Some people may argue that CO2 is already saturated in earth’s atmosphere, and more CO2, manmade or natural, will have little impact on the climate. Well, that’s is not exactly true because the earth’s atmosphere is only capable of holding so much C02 according to the IPCC (Michael). Other people may say the greenhouse gas emissions are making redwood trees grow better than ever (Rogers). Well that may be so, but redwood trees are just a small part of the economy and they still grow without greenhouse
In order for us to help the wildlife during global warming we need to decrease the amount of pollution we put in the air. We can do this by reducing the amount of energy we use and how many times we use our vehicles in a day. We could also stop littering and start recycling. Land development is also a cause. All of these ways can lead to deterioration of certain species’ habitats. This is a serious problem and i want to persuade and and inform you what we can do to stop it and how it is affecting everyday life lives all the way to to the littlest things to the biggest thing. Global warming is growing at a faster and faster rate. Society thinks global warming is not a big deal and is okay with it. Nobody should be okay with this. Global warming is a horrible way of how we treat yourself, our planet, and the animals.
