There is a general agreement within the scientific community that Earth is getting warmer because of an intensified Greenhouse effect resulting from increased CO2 in emissions from industry, vehicles, and the burning of forests. Global climate change is influencing architecture, causing polar ice to melt, and altering weather patterns. In response to these threats, 196 parties negotiated the Paris agreement in 2015.

Do you agree with this decision? In what ways do my efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses hurt the economy? How can those costs be weighed against the cost of global climate change? Would you vote to stay in the Paris agreement or withdraw from it? Explain .
