Argument Against Climate Change

Superior Essays
As great as it is to walk outside in the middle of November in the mid-west and be welcomed by 70 degree and sunny weather, we should be questioning this because it is obviously obscure. There have been many studies to prove that temperatures across the world have been increase slowly which is leading to drastic changes; the artic is melting causing the ocean levels to rise, some wildlife species are dying off, droughts are occurring which causes wildfires, and the list goes on. One of the main contributors to climate change is due to human impact. What we don’t realize, or simply disregard, is that it is affecting our health, as well. The increase in the average global temperature is not a “hot topic” scientists are discussing; climate change (aka: “global warming”) has piqued the interest of scientist across the world for decades and has played a significant role in our politics, such as implementing policies and procedures to help protect the planet and wildlife. Scientist have been researching not only why climate change is …show more content…
People are too concerned about convenience and saving money, which is what brought our world into this hole and to dig ourselves out, it will take a lot of time, patience, and money. From the study, a majority of the respondents said that their primary care physician was their most trusted person to get information on concerning health risks associated with climate change. Primary care providers, as well as public health officials and agencies, distribute knowledge to the American people which is moving us towards our goal of combating climate change.

    The Clean Air Act (CAA) is an environmental law made by the U.S. government. This federal law aims at regulating air emissions from stationary sources such as industries and mobile sources such as vehicles. It was established to authorize the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that protects the public health through regulation of emissions that have a hazardous effect on air (Sueyoshi & Goto, 2010). The CAA was established in 1963 after several deaths were experienced in 1948 and 1952 due to air pollution. It was amended in 1977 and 1990 with the objective of setting new goals to achieve the attainment of NAAQS.…

    Since the 1900s, scientists have recorded droughts, wildfires, and melting polar ice caps as a result of the planet slowly heating up. Global warming can impact animals in the poles, farmers growing crops in a drought, or normal people in their everyday lives. There are places on earth that have an air quality index that is labeled as hazardous. This was first realized as a possible issue by a Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius (1859 - 1927). He figured out that fossil fuel combustion could eventually result in global warming.…

    The scientific community also must make sure that the relationship between climate change and their “affecters” are causal and not correlation. (2) Some other evidence that the scientific community uses includes the study of the species affected by climate change. Affected species may change migration habits and some may even deplete drastically in numbers. This is shown in areas most affected by climate change, which attributes to the theory of climate…

    Teddy Willcocks Y1 Civics Ms. Marshall Essay Climate change affects everybody and everything all over the world and is impacting how we live our lives. Around the world, we need to tackle the issues of climate change and alter the way we consume and dispose of resources. The pollution we create from factories and vehicles goes up into our atmosphere and creates a barrier of greenhouse gas. When the sun 's rays come to earth and then radiate back out to space, they can’t go back because of the one way, very thick greenhouse gas barrier. The 20 warmest years ever have happened since 1981 and with 10 of the warmest happening within the past 12 years and this is continuing to get worse as the years go on.…

    Many Americans believe that no organization is devastating the planet, not even factory farming. One of the more common arguments against global warming in general is that the planet’s climate has changed before. This is true, the earth does go through periods of warming up and cooling down; so there is the possibility that what we are seeing is just an “extreme warm period” but the planet will not continue to rise in temperature (like scientists that support global warming suggest) and eventually will begin to cool itself down. Another argument is that the temperature records are unreliable. Temperature records not being accurate is another good point.…

    Climate change is the biggest threat to life on earth. It is responsible for 300,000 deaths a year, 1,000 of which are children, and costs the world economy 125 billion dollars a year. By 2030, when I’m 27, climate change would have already claimed 100 million lives and decreased global economic growth by 3.2%. Along with it costing money and lives, it is also a threat to peace around the world. A study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found that natural disasters like droughts and heat waves, which climate change makes more frequent, increase the chances of conflict in a region by 9% and in regions with ethnic conflicts and natural disasters it increases by 23%.…

    Although this can be viewed as a controversial topic, the scientific evidence to support it cannot be logically argued with; the Earth and its climate are changing and legislation should broaden as this predicament processes. This claim is supported by a number of scientific findings that reflect negatively on the Earth’s environment. In response to this there is information on current and past legislation; as well as various opportunities the United States could participate in in the future. When the U.S. society thinks of climate change it is typically associated with the phrase, The ice caps are melting, look at these poor polar bears. This argumentative statement uses the method of pathos to invoke the reader’s sympathy, but lacks the…

    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.…
