Argumentative Essay On The Environment

The environment, along with its protection and issues connected with it are questions of interest nowadays. Many people are concerned with the state of the earth and our destructive impact on nature itself. Because of the slow change our environment is undergoing, many have failed to realize that this is even a problem. In, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore explains, “If a frog is put into a container of water that slowly increases in heat, it will stay there until it... Gets pulled out of the container. But if you put the same frog into a container with water that is already boiled it will jump out.” With the change of the environment moving ever so slowly, people need to start recognizing that they have to change their lifestyle to prevent …show more content…

Since then the temperature has remained flat in the last 17 years. This argument may be true but 17 years of temperature change is not by any means very long term. If we based everything on even a hundred year scale we would not get the most accurate statistics.
Another ridiculous reason is that the arctic ice has increased by 50 percent since 2012. “Core measures of the arctic ice show that it has increased in volume since 2012, which argues against global warming causing ice caps to melt.” First of all, not many scientists even argue that global warming cause ice caps to melt. Also, a few year time span of anything relating to the problem of global warming should just be saved to see in the future if what these scientists say hold true. Finally, with a bit of research one could find out about other factors that may play a role in the melting/freezing of the arctic
