is to identify unsubstantiated claims against the existence of global anthropogenic climate change (GACC) and to rebut these claims based on scientific sources. I shared a summary of two distinct arguments against GACC that I have read from different sources. I then formulated a rebuttal against these two claims I found. Synopsis Although the majority of scientists support the idea of anthropogenic climate change, some scientists argue that the global warming is primarily caused by natural…
environmental changes through time that will continue to harm people and the earth. There are several topics which Al Gore talks about in the documentary, such as greenhouse gasses, climate change, and global warming. The issue of greenhouse gasses has become a problem to the planet by releasing amounts of gasses into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses known as carbon dioxide are released by the use of human activity. These activities are known as burning fossil fuels…
treaty) relying too heavily on the wrong agents exercising the wrong sort of power to create, from the top down, a carbon market” (Prinz & Rayner, 2007). The Kyoto Treaty is the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). “UNFCCC was created during…
past decades, the phenomenon of climate change has been a major concern to the international community. Leaders of the world came together to find a solution for the problem that threatening our common home "planet". The international community has taken series of actions in response to the problem by adopting some international agreements. The international community initiative includes drafting measures to achieve the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (Kyoto Protocol) in order to…
international agenda when bringing up the issue of climate change and this is because of the controversial position of the Chinese government on the matter throughout the years. China has ratified the Kyoto Protocol; nevertheless the country was exempt from committing to an emissions target reduction since China was not one of the main contributors to global warming during the period of industrialization that is believed to be the cause of climate change (Feldon, 2007: 60). Statistics taken from…
The UNFCCC Conference in 2015 must enforce climate change policy, but it also needs to be unique. Unique in the fact that it represents each of the member states plans and takes notes of their individual needs. Without some individualization of this new protocol, the entirety of the document will most likely fail due to too much restraint on a varying dynamic of cultures, economies, and social organization. Coming to a consensus about climate change will take compromise of the upmost complexity…
1-4 Global warming is a significant issue, which could cause numerous negative effects on Canada. This could include severe damaging to the environment, along with the endangerment of the health of future generations. Climate change is not only harmful and could produce a few beneficial impacts as well including increasing the farm and agriculture production, and assisting the health of Canadians as the temperatures increase. The government of Canada has both…
There is a relationship between development and poverty, and the degradation and exploitation of the environment and natural resources (Suchak) e.g. in Haiti their poverty is directly linked to deforestation and habitat loss. (Blajchman).Thus affecting the tourist’s evaluation of the Caribbean. C. There is a need for policy intervention to concentrate and advocate for environmental protection. II. Damage to the environment is an inevitable consequence of economic development. A. “……
As time passes, and societies advance in technology we learn more about the climate and how it is changing for the worse. Changes in the climate affect many aspects of our daily lifestyles, our health, economy, and communities. It is said by scientists if we do not make positive changes to our global warming issues they will only increase negatively, (nrdc 2011). There are many causes to global climate change, but the number one cause scientists all agree on is the expansion of the greenhouse…
The Earth has had multiple climate changes during its lifetime. From the extreme cold during the ice age to our weather as of modern day. During the lifespan of our Earth, temperatures have fluctuated from warmer to colder, changing back and forth. However, the Earth is currently on a course of global warming. Scientist, politicians, and the general public may agree that the Earth’s average temperature is increasing, but there is a disagreement on if the occurrence is natural or as a result of…
