Climate Change On record, nine of the ten hottest years have taken place since 2000. In 2012, the Arctic sea’s “summer ice” shrank to the lowest point recorded. As of right now, the earth is experiencing the highest carbon dioxide levels noted, which are drastically increasing and are predicted to keep increasing (NASA Global Climate Change). The climate is changing, which is normal. But in recent years, many have questioned the cause of this steep change. We are experiencing the most drastic decline in clean air, land, ice, and clean water. There is talk that humans have had the most impact on the earth’s change in its overall climate. Others claim the earth goes through cycles every hundred or so years, causing normal shifts in climate. …show more content…
presidency, debated many times against his fellow candidates. His position is simple: humans do not have any effect on the climate changing. Rubio’s main concern for scientists’ solutions for climate change is that, “it will destroy our economy” (Stein). Unlike Clinton’s strong, motivating views on providing American homes with better energy and spending dollars upon dollars for the fixing of climate change, Rubio doesn’t seem as interested. Many people were torn between siding with him or not on this obscure stance. He believes the rules and regulations to provide information on climate change will be a large waste of money and time, which will hinder the economy. Which, to some extent, he is right. The information is out there, so bringing awareness through government-funded tools would be pointless and wasteful at this …show more content…
As the earth does its job in rotating through seasons, we must do our job in making sure it has a clean space to do so. “In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there 's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet” (NASA Global Climate Change). Alongside years of research, there has been conclusions on human interaction with the planet, and how it is negatively affecting it. These studies show us how the earth affects itself, but also how we affect the earth. Without our draining the earth of its natural resources, it most likely would have survived much longer than it will

    Climate Change Climate change is one of the significant factors that have an impact on many of the Earth’s ecosystems, communities, and economies. Scientists have said that human activities are the leading cause of climate change and it should change that because if nothing changes now, it will continue to alter the environment that we depend on for survival. According to NASA, “human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet”. (NASA) Humans are a major cause in producing climate change by cutting down forests, burning of fossil fuels and driving.…

    The correct use of the term, especially by an influential figure aids in the acceptance of climate change’s presence. Research in the article "The Scientific Consensus On Climate Change As A Gateway Belief: Experimental Evidence" notes that “at least 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening” (van der Linden et al. 1). The scientific evidence supporting climate change is paramount, yet numerous people--conservative Republicans--continue to believe that the severity of the situation does not exist. Climate change has gained controversy within the political sphere due its negative portrayal of fossil fuels an energy source which Americans have relied on for decades. This financially and politically motivated reliance has left little to no room for alternative energy sources: ethanol, geothermal, solar, and…

    Although Al Gore presents a well-constructed and very compelling argument on the effects of global warming, many have found his claims to be wrong and misinterpreted. For instance, he claims that as the earth tilts toward the sun the earth’s inhabitants absorb carbon dioxide. In the next season, the earth tilts away from sun allowing plants to release carbon dioxide creating an effect of inhaling and exhaling. This pattern shows the levels of carbon dioxide increase and decrease throughout the year. As years have passed, Al Gore shows how carbon dioxide levels continue to rise every year.…

    Over the past few years, the subject of climate change has been heavily discussed in the media, scientific research articles, and literature. In 2011, Richard Bean published his play “The Heretic,” which deals with the controversial topic of anthropogenic climate change. According to the dictionary by Oxford University Press (2016), anthropogenic means “originating in human activity”. He initiates his play by a claim made in 2007 by Al Gore, the former Vice President of the United States. Speaking to the House Energy committee and the Senate Environment committee, he stated that “The science is settled” (Seabrook: 2007).…

    Imagine having summer all year long, being under the sweltering heat, breathing the stuffy, sick air, and conditions worsening as the day goes by. These harsh conditions are increased by air pollution and climate change through cars and factories; man-made inventions. These innovative technologies have been necessary in order to have a functioning and developing society and economy. However, the belief that humans are the sole cause of climate change is refuted by scientists, advocating that the change in the Earth’s climate is a natural cause. Earth formed over about 4.5 billion years ago, and it has changed ever since then.…

    The subject of climate change has been hotly debated over the past decade. It is now obvious that the climate is changing and that it is more than likely going to cause problems in the future. The amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere has considerably increased since the Industrial Revolution. As fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and crude oil are burned, carbon dioxide is discharged into the atmosphere where it is trapped. This is called the greenhouse effect and although essential to the survival of all life on Earth, this process has gotten out of hand recently.…
