Climate Change: A Global Analysis

In 2009, the last climate change conference in Copenhagen, countries were not able to find a solution to climate change. Back then climate change was not addressed as seriously as it will be in the next climate change conference. Many countries have realized the potential consequences of climate change and have already began looking for solutions. However, to defeat climate change, it cannot be a few countries trying to look for solutions. It has the be a collective effort by each country in the world. The solution to climate change is obviously to reduce greenhouse emissions, but the problem is that asking seven billion people to change their ways of living. Not everyone feels seriously threatened by climate change right now. That is why …show more content…
First, as stated previously, droughts and heat waves would cause the amount of resources to decline. Since the amount of resources would become more limited, then the price of them would increase because there would be more of a demand for them. If the price went up then people who are struggling economically would not be able to afford the nutrients they need in order to live a healthy life. Also, if countries devote more effort and money into defeating climate change it could create more jobs. Countries would try to research for better ways to reduce emissions, and many different types of occupations would be needed to create a more energy efficient planet (Arthur Neslen, 2015). Countries need to be willing to spend much more time and money into climate change because not only could it save the economy, it could improve it. Many more people would be employed again because all the countries in the world would need people to build the machinery that would be more energy …show more content…
I agree that countries should not let their guard down and make sure that their country is safe. However, climate change should be in the same conversation as the national threats because climate change is a threat to the entire world. No one can hide from the effects of climate change. Water levels will rise and destroy billions of dollars of property. Another argument for countries not to take the threats of climate change so seriously is that climate change does not even exist. According to the Union of Concerned Scientist, over the past 130 years the average temperature has increased by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and half of that has increased in the last 35 years. This is due to the human population increasingly emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So the threat of climate change is definitely evident and its effects are rapidly
