    In the online webpage “Facts: Effects”, Holly Shaftel confirms “Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves” by elaborating the effects of excessive release of greenhouse gases, resulting from various human activities, towards the environment, thus affecting the current ecosystem(Facts:Effects). She supports this claim by first stating that, according to various data collected on greenhouse gas concentration by the intergovernmental panel on climate change(IPCC), “Summer temperatures are projected to continue rising, and a reduction of soil moisture…” and thus result in severe droughts(Facts:Effects).…

    In the ad, Real Change by the Liberal party, it begins with patriotic colors of red and white with momentous music and asks, “what does real leadership mean?” and answers itself on how Justin Trudeau can lead change. Throughout the ad it supports itself by presenting guest speakers from different cultural backgrounds, jobs, males and females speaking Canada’s official languages: French and English. They state the economy is going downhill with the current government, Stephan Harper and Tom Mulcair (NDP), who provides “no real ideas”. Therefore, with the special guests, Justin Trudeau uses to support himself to send an overall message that he can lead change for all Canadians by reducing taxes for the middle class and taxing more of the rich, for a stronger middle class. Since the recent phenomenon of political ads, political parties such as the Liberal party try and cater to prospective and loyal voters by attempting to create a connection with Canadians by featuring Canadian political culture and democracy with consideration of the aimed audience in…

    As greenhouse gases increases and global temperature rises at an exponential rate, scientists inevitably raises their concerns all over the world. Unfortunately, there seems to be substantial evidence to suggest global warming will completely transform the world as we know it in an abhorrent way. Several concerning outcomes that’s expected from global warming are rising sea level, limited location for agricultural growth, and increased number of hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts. Specifically, California will experience three times as many heat-related deaths in cities, 10% surge in electricity demand, 55% increase in large wildfire frequency, and twice as many drought years. It should be evident that global warming only begins as an environmental issue, however, over time the issue will transform into an economic behemoth of a problem.…

    Global warming is an issue that affects us all, and it will not be going anywhere anytime soon, so why not look at it as though the glass is half full. Global climate change will have a positive net impact on Canada because the melting of the ice caps is unfolding a vast collection of natural resources that without the warming of the climate, otherwise would not have become available to mining companies. Since the amount of ice in the Arctic has been decreasing annually, new shipping routes have been accessible, and this helps the shipping industry cut costs. Finally, Inuit communities in the North have been benefiting from the increase in development in the Arctic, as well the cost of food will be decreasing due to the new shipping routes…
