Myths About Climate Change

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

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman” (Paine 155).

When trees are burned, CO2 is relinquished. The burning of astronomically immense areas of trees is known as deforestation. Human activities integrate more CO2 into the atmosphere through activities like the burning of fossil fuels. The guiding question of this investigation is, “Which carbon cycle process affects atmospheric carbon the most?” The researchers initially wanted to learn 2 things. First, the researchers wanted to learn how much carbon engenderment there would be if they incremented the amount of fossil fuels burnt by a certain amount. The researchers also wanted to learn how much carbon engenderment there would be if they incremented the amount of deforestation.

Recent scientific evidence indicates that humans have upset the carbon cycle, leaving more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, burning biomass such as ethanol and wood, creating cement and releasing other chemicals into the atmosphere is upsetting the natural flow of carbon.

Trench warfare is a type of land warfare used by the military in large trenches to shoot the enemies. The most popular of trench warfare is the western front used in WW1. The defenders had more of an advantage in trench warfare because they were protected by barbed wire and mines and the enemies could not see them. The soldiers lived in the trenches and it was very terrifying. They were constantly prone to getting diseases and always in fear of an enemy attack.

In his video “What They Haven’t Told You about Climate Change” for conservative media organization Prager University, environmentalist and former President of Greenpeace Canada Patrick Moore expresses his skepticism of humans being a major cause of climate change. While it is true that humans have not been the sole contributors to climate change, Moore significantly downplays the impact that humans have had on the climate. The overwhelming, international, peer reviewed scientific consensus is that recent human activity has caused an unprecedented increase in global warming (“Climate Change: How do we know?”). Moore’s characterization of humanity’s impact on climate change omits important data and research to spin a misleading narrative on climate change.

The author is questioning the connection between the obligation a state holds to protect the livelihood and property of its citizens, and whether denying to “address” climate change makes them liable for the negative effects it has on their citizens. If refusal to mediate climate change, on an international level, constitute as neglect of state duty when climate change has a direct impact on people’s lives. The rights issue is lies between the right to state sovereignty and the rights of individuals to protection and well-being.

There are many misconceptions about climate change first is Scientists disagree about whether humans are causing the Earth's climate change. In fact, there is strong scientific opinion that human activities are changing the Earth's climate. Scientists agree that the Earth is getting warmer, that this trend is caused by people, and that if we continue to produce greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the warming will be more harmful. (ByAL GOREDECEMBER 2, 2011) Second is Temperatures in some areas aren't increasing, so global warming is a myth.

When it comes to both sides of the part, politicians say so many lies that later get found out, when they do speeches or debating other candidates. Thankfully, we have access to so much technology and information that when people do lie about the facts we can look up information to see if that is true. I found a claim that a politician made about climate change, his name is Ted Cruz and he is running for president of the United States for the Republican Party. He said that climate change is myth and has not happened, but so many times, all the scientist have said that the earth is getting warmer overall. Cruz stated “If you're a big-government politician, if you want more power, climate change is the perfect pseudo-scientific theory because

In the 1990s we put “6.4 Petagrams of carbon (PgC) per year, and in from 2000-2008, 7.7 PgC/yr. Over 2000-2008, emissions increased by 3.4% per year, substantially faster than the growth rate of 1.0% per year in the 1990’s” (http://carboncycle.aos.wisc.edu/fossil-fuels/.) “As it happens, one of the things CO2 does in the atmosphere is absorb heat from the sun. When there is 40% more of it, it absorbs 40% more heat. That causes the planet to heat up” (“https://www.quora.com/How-does-the-burning-of-fossil-fuels-contribute-to-global-warming”).

Secondly, one of the efforts that schools did is that provided a mandatory courses and programs that students have to attend in order to educate them about how to protect themselves in serious situations. For instance, California State University Long Beach requires students to complete an online program in order to get their bachelor degree telling them about the risks and how to avoid sexual assaults. One of the major issues that is happening now is sexual assault at schools. It is a serious issue that needed to be stopped in order to reduce risky diseases like HIV. Number of parties increase in schools therefore the problem of sexual assault increases too. A study in 2005 shows that college students drink more than non-students. 50% of the

sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. They are caused by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection by an effect comparable at the eddy current brake, forming areas of reduced surface temperature.

The Earth is rapidly heating up or is it? If it is, the next few decades may

Many claim that global warming is obvious and that all arguments against global warming fall. The problem is that what is “obvious” often isn’t true. “A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.” This is the Webster dictionary definition of Global Warming, which basically says that due to an overflow of harmful and hazardous chemicals in the air that it is creating a danger zone for the earth. This is because these chemicals are increasing the earths’ temperature. Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish scientist was the first person to claim that in 1896 that fossil fuel combustion may
