However, we are now in a period where the two might be considered one in the same given that the vast majority of scientists now agree that human activities are actively changing the climate and warming the planet. As the planet warms due to these human activities, mountain glaciers around the world are shrinking. One study’s model predicts that if the climactic temperature in Glacier National Park rises 2 degrees C over the next century, only a fraction of a percent of Sperry Glacier will remain. A worst case scenario model predicts the Glacier would be completely melted in 18 years if warming trends continue at the present rate, the ablation rate at the terminus of 2 m/yr is applied to the entire glacier, and there is no accumulation.…
Mark Bittman, author of the article “The Aliens Have Landed” published on the New York Times April 2, 2014 issue, argues that we need to take action to stop climate change. Bittman begins to support his argument by comparing our ignorant behavior towards climate change to the “retreating French” during World War II. He then informs the recent news from the Panel on Climate Change to emphasize the negative effects, and sarcastically compares them to aliens invading Earth. He next proposes a public works project and provides several examples of what can be done to start addressing climate change before it is too late. The author’s purpose is to…
See judge act method can help us understand ways to explain these controversial environmental issues negatively affecting the world around us. Fracking and mountaintop removal has become a potentially fatal topic in multiple states. Hydraulic fracturing or Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and 596 chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. Mountaintop removal mining (MTR), also known as mountaintop mining (MTM), is a form of surface mining that involves the mining of the summit or summit ridge of a mountain.…
In the essay “Worried? Us?” written by Bill Mckibben, the author explains that for many years global warming and climate change is still a continuous problem. That many individuals are not taking pride in being a part of the world. In the following paper, it will examine that with all the issues of global warming. An example would be greenhouse gases that are deteriorating the world slowly and nothing is being done to change it.…
The author of “A snow Filled Glimpse” brings up the points of climate change, conservatism and plutocracy. The first issue that David Sirota, brings up is climate change this has to be the biggest problem because it affects the entire world not only Americans. In recent times by this I mean seven days ago one million Monarch butterflies died on their migration to Mexico. The reason these creatures died was because it snowed in the forest they were migrating to. If you said who care about the butterflies they don’t do anything, well they do it’s important for local ecosystems for pest control and natural pollination.…
After I watched this film, I searched examples of how global warming is affecting the environment, and examples of species reside in Arctic being threatened. Most people are…
‘Many small things have been made large by the right kind of advertising’ (Mark twain 2015). Global warming is a highly severe consequence of environmental issues such as: burning fossil fuels, deforestation (burning and removing vegetation), farming, waste breakdown and industrial sites. Global warming is an imperative topic to advertise for the purpose of raising awareness among our negligent society because the ice caps will not wait for humanity to come to its senses, action must be taken now. This poster created the underpinning message that we are running out of time, glacier by glacier, to effectively persuade the targeted audience to take up their position on the issue.…
Love Your Mother (Earth) The world is changing in a deadly way and if we do not act now, it may be too late to save it. Global climate change is a real problem and needs to be addressed in a truthful manner, by government officials, by educators, and by the media. It is easy to see the effects human interaction has on environmental events and the climate with extreme events happening at a rate never seen before.…
Gretel Ehrlich’s “Chronicles of Ice” gives her awestruck perspective at the sight of a glacier and how that sight leads to her encouraging saving the planet by starting with protecting the melting glaciers. Glaciers are melting and if they melt, the surface of the planet has nothing to cool off on, so it’s important that these ice blocks protect the planet. Similarly, in “How to Poison the Earth” by Linnea Saukko she tries to advocate on saving the planet, but through a dark humor that says the opposite of what it means. She goes on about contaminating our ocean constantly, so we can effectively pollute the ocean and, then, poisoning our Earth. Saukko’s process analysis, describing how we can pollute the environment is more effective in bringing…
In today’s world, global warming is common knowledge to most people. Every day global warming gets worse. Some people in today’s society are eager to stop global warming because they are aware of the problems that global warming is causing to people and the Earth. Across the world, people know that industrial smokestacks are a big cause of global warming in today’s society. Some people believe that by ignoring global warming that it will not affect them, and that they can’t make a difference.…
Heat Up The World! Recently, the biggest natural environment problem is Global Warming. Scientists say that the earth is heating up and this is causing waters to rise and ice caps are melting. What’s the big deal?…
Global warming, the carbon footprint, the greenhouse effect, whatever you wish to call it climate change is an issue that not only affects us but every living organism on this planet. In American author, Michael Pollan’s essay “Why bother?” he presents the issue of climate change and the very reason why it is still a problem after so many years, because of people who believe “why bother.” “Why bother” refers to the mental reality of believing that one individual can’t make any form of difference for an issue. Now while this idea is not entirely false I do feel it has a rather large hole in it.…
PERSUADE PREPARATION OUTLINE Specific purpose: To persuade the audience that global warming is a very serious problem and we need to solve it.…
Working Outline Purpose: Informative Speech Specific Purpose: Awareness of the threat of global warming Introduction: I. In the words of Leonardo DiCaprio after receiving his Oscar, “Climate change is real. It is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”…
Over the past century, global warming has become a major concern to environmentalist and people worldwide. The warming of Earth’s atmosphere and land have started to make itself present to many. In 2016, Earth’s global surface temperature is approximated to rise 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels (Le Page,1). Throughout the last century, it’s become evident to what has led to the increase in the warming of Earth.…
