Global warming is still considered a controversial topic in modern politics. More people believe that global warming is real but aren 't worried about the immediate threat it imposes. Conservatives believe that changes in global temperature is naturally proven by examples like the Ice Age. They believe that there is no evidence that human beings are causing climate change. Liberals, however, believe the opposite. In the 2012 article Global Warming 's Terrifying New Math by Bill McKibben, the…
4th December 2017 Global Warming: How Can It Be Fixed? Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Global warming is the increase of the temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by the greenhouse effect, which is caused by high levels of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants. As a result, of Global Warming sea surface temperatures are warming and sea levels are rising. This has…
In Julia Whitty’s “Diet for a Warm Planet,” she discusses the issue of global warming. Whitty identifies controversial causes of global warming. She discusses the lack of interest America has for the environment. She also states several solutions to reduce the carbon footprint which focuses on what Whitty calls a fossil fuel diet. Whitty’s main argument is, “Since America is responsible for 22 percent of annual emissions, I suggest we set a target of shrinking our personal carbon footprint by…
Fault: Global Warming and Individual Obligations” written by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and analyze his threshold perspective on climate change. Finally, I will provide two different responses to Sinnott-Armstrong’s objections and view, one is his flaws in his threshold model and second is to present a better representation of climate change through an accumulation model. In my opinion, both the citizens…
also known as global warming, has been an ever growing topic researched for hopes of one day figuring the cause of it. Studies held over the last few decades have indicated a slight rise in the Earth’s temperature annually and scientist and environmentalist have made it their goal to find the root of this global temperature increase hoping that there will be some cure to bring climate change to a halt. Like many hot topics that deal with some sort of danger or something that has an effect on…
Effects of Global Warming on Arctic Regions According to the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we must cut the worldwide use of fossil fuels by at least 90% if mankind is to have any chance of stopping global warming. The gases that are released from fossil fuels get trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere like a heated dome known as the greenhouse effect. The condensed heat melts or dissolves all the glacier and ice in the Arctic regions. The sudden change of climate can have…
Huckabee says of global warming that "whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it" ("Global Warming Quotes"). Huckabee successfully approaches the subject of global warming in way that everyone can understand that we need to start taken better care of our planet. Even though there are many who believe global warming is a…
CO2 Emissions Global warming is the gradual rise of the earth’s temperature within the atmosphere. The rise of heat is due to the greenhouse effect, which is caused by increased levels of Carbon dioxide. The earth already produces CO2 in different ways, but too much of it is harmful and causes global warming. There are many things that contribute to the cause of global warming, which affects human lives and health in many ways . Scientist’s agree that the main cause of global warming are human…
Global warming is part of the Earth’s natural processes. Just as there have been periods global cooling and periods of global temperature stability. Though these processes are natural and are given to the ebb and flow of the Earth’s rotation, precision, and periodic catastrophic events humankind’s industrial, scientific, and population explosions over the last centuries have had a marked effect on the Earth and how it is understood. As it stands, there are two major trains of thought about…
rising temperatures? A real event happening despite most people unawareness of it happens to be global warming. This phenomena portray catastrophic events for earth's future. Scientists conclude that from the many studies done on this topic, not many people take into account what their findings show. This shows that global warming really occurs and scientists have evidence to back it up. Global warming apparently has become a rising concern in the world and it may affect people more than they…
