Essay on Climate Change

Arroyo, executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center at Georgetown Law. "We can 't lose another four years, much less eight years" (Neuhauser). The next Americans President, experts say, may be the very last who can avert catastrophe from climate change which makes it very important for the next American President to give climate change the top most priority. This requires the Presidential candidates to believe in the danger posed by climate change. In addition to this, it also requires…

Climate change poses a risk to all people, especially in developing countries, this puts their right to food, water, and health on the line. Climate change is real, and is happening now, if we continue our current path of allowing emissions to rise year after year climate change will change everything about our world. One of the leading causes of climate change is greenhouse gases which can have a significant impact on developing countries, and laws must be implanted to stop this. The average…

Climate change is defined as a long-term change in the global climate, specifically increasing average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary). In reality, it is not just an increase in temperature, climate change is rising sea levels, habitat loss, water contamination, loss of biological diversity, and so much more. In the past, climate change was a controversial debate topic, now, it is a widely accepted, inevitable fact (Think Again). Evidence for climate change became prevalent in the 1890’s,…

The world is in denial, climate change is happening, and the earth is dying because people are killing it. A clear example of this denial is seen in the decline of news coverage regarding environmental change, “in 2007, the three major U.S. networks—CBS, NBC, and ABC ran 147 stories on climate change; in 2011 the networks ran just fourteen stories on the subject” (Klein, 34). People do not want to hear about climate change and decreasing natural resources. Continued denial will be the downfall…

“the gradual heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere” (Bradford, 2014), has been a significant topic of interest. Among politicians, environmentalists, and concerned citizens, the impacts of climate change have been heatedly debated. While a portion of America believe that climate change is not a serious threat, is not caused by mankind, or perhaps is not even real, another portion believe it is the most terrifying and imminent concern mankind is currently facing, and we should be…

Climate change is a problem that has been plaguing our world for far too long. The millennials have realized this and are taking action. They have stepped up to the plate and have begun taking action against climate change. Climate change is already contributing to the deaths of nearly 400,000 people a year and costing the world more than $1.2 trillion, wiping 1.6% annually from global GDP(powerpoint). These are not small numbers. This is an issue that can no longer be ignored, with some of the…

Climate change is a vast and complex subject and could have many different routes of discussions, and topics. However, I would like to elaborate more on how to reduce the enormity of the changing climate. How people could make an informed discussion on the factors that are weakening the climate; and find ways to adapt using less, and becoming more resourceful. Climate change is an area that many people continue to overlook because, they are not being generally effected, however, changes in the…

harmed by climate change today, despite there being a scientific consensus that climate change is a proven matter of concern (Wike). Why do such large number of Americans reject the scientific consensus on climate change? There is a widespread misconception that there is a disconnect between scientists on the climate change issue, however the actual disconnect is between the public opinion and the scientific consensus. Is politicization negatively influencing a possible public consensus on…

Climate change is a huge threat to the earth. It affects human, plant, and animal life, and humans are the cause of it. The main cause is the burning of fossil fuels, but there are many other ways that humans cause climate change. It’s obvious that humans are “killing” the earth, but they are also the only ones to help decrease climate change. The United States is responsible for contributing to climate change the most out of any other place, however, California is one of the main contributors…

convince the world of the severity of climate change, but people wouldn 't listen. Skeptics claimed that the government was trying to control the population with fear, or that a degree or two didn 't mean that the climate was changing. Despite the painfully obvious evidence, people continued to emit the same amount of toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To understand what climate change is, one must first understand what "climate" is. Simply put, climate is the average weather in a…
