Introduction
Global warming or climate change? No one seems to exactly know what is causing sea level rise, and global temperature increase. Climate experts, scientists, and government officials cannot agree on the exact cause. Is it a matter of not knowing what global warming and climate change truly mean? Or is it that global warming is just a myth? According to the United States Environmental protection Agency (EPA), global warming refers to “the recent and ongoing rise in global average temperature near Earth 's surface”, and climate change is defined as “any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time”. These identical terms though very different in meaning have been at the center of the unsettling …show more content…
The author is not concerned about sea or temperature increase as the other authors, rather he is concerned about how important and real people think these issues are. The word "global warming" was first coined in 1975 in a paper titled “Climate Change: Are we on the Brink of a Pronounced Global warming" by climate scientist, Wally Broecker. Lineman (2015) writes that people are more familiar with the term global warming than climate change. In fact, "according to a Google trend figure from 2004–2014, people searched for the term global warming more frequently than climate change" (lineman, 2015, pge.3). This trends shows that people are more concerned about global warming because it sounds more destructive and more personal than climate change. However, the author States that people have emotional connection to the two terms. This is why politicians use global warming more often than climate change, but scientists use climate change more often because it is the most accurate. People seem to think that climate change is revealed by scientific investigation (Lineman, 2015). Lineman 's findings demonstrate that the way people perceive global warming or climate change is driven by how the media conveys them. The study also shows that people are somewhat concerned with these …show more content…
In contrast, Veritasium argues that humans are the cause of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere and its warming. While VOA News argues that the concurrence of El Nino and global warming will cause massive human habitat loss. Lineman States that people are more afraid of the word term "global warming", thus they believe more in global warming than climate change. Wiant addresses the effects of Global warming on public health and he is the only author to call people to act to prevent the destruction of the planet.
Conclusion: We must act now!
The authors have clearly well supported their claims. They proved that the earth is danger, and showed why it is. They give solutions and urge us to do something to minimize the effect of sea and temperature increase. They produced enough supporting details on why it is imperative to rise above the debate of whether or not the global changes are caused by climate change or global warming. We, as inhabitants of the earth must protect it not destroy
