Scientific opinion on climate change

Analysis of NASA Article The first article I chose to analyze is titled “NASA STUDYING 2015 El Nino As Never Before,” by Kasha Patel. The article explains what the weather pattern known as El Nino is, the effects it has on the climate, why NASA wants to study it, and how NASA plans on studying it. Now NASA has advanced satellites that can monitor more aspects of the weather pattern such as sea level and sea surface temperature. The reason NASA is so interested in the weather pattern this year…

Is Global Climate Change a Hoax? Are humans to blame for the Ice capes melting and rapid changes in our weather patterns? What motivated President Elect Donald Trump to say that global climate change is a hoax. The present environmental warming trend is a huge topic today and an issue that raises great debate around the world. The earth is home to billions of humans, plants and animals, we all need the earth to sustain life. Therefore, the wellbeing of this planet is of major concern. This essay…

Climate change is perhaps one of the biggest concerns of our generation. Without action, the changing climate on earth could turn the world as we know it upside down. Climate change refers to a difference in the average weather patterns either regionally or globally over a specific period of time. There is not much refute that Earth’s climate is growing warmer. However, there is great controversy over the cause of climate change. Are the changes in temperature just a natural swing or does…

warming through scientific facts and trends in the past. For instance, Totty gives an example of what a skeptic of global warming may say, like, "The Earth isn 't warming—at least not to any extent that could actually be called a 'crisis '. And some data even suggest that the Earth is getting colder" (Totty), and then follows it with a detailed response that is backed up by scientific data. For this statement, Totty explains that because of a strong El Nino that changed our climate systems, the…

very few corporations in power have been taking over to dominate the industry. By emphasizing one-sided issues, corporate media sways the public opinion to promote a certain political and economic agenda, which avoids the threat of global climate change. The media’s goal is to exploit the mass population, by airing information that challenges the scientific research of global warming. The creation of Fox News meant, “there was a news source available virtually everywhere in the United States, 24…

“No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.” – Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States As Barack Obama stated in his State of the Union address in 2015, climate change is a long-term problem. It has proven to be very tough to solve, which is why addressing the issue through interdisciplinary thinking could be beneficial. Climate change affects the Netherlands for various reasons. Increasing temperatures cause a rise in sea-levels. Meanwhile,…

Climate change and global warming have been a hot topic for some time now. They have taken their place as one of the major political issues. There are so many opinions and articles out there that it can easily become confusing to the casual observer. However, one can understand the concern. If indeed human’s emissions are causing the earth’s ecology to be thrown off balance, something should be done about it. It is easy to just put it off as another generation’s problem but that shouldn’t be the…

can have various effects including rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of storms, and extreme weather and temperature differences across the globe (MacMillan 2016). Though global warming has been acknowledged by members of the scientific community across the globe, the issue is viewed differently and influenced by many psychological processes by the individual. Neuroscience has influenced how people perceive the risks of global…

The article “Capitalism vs. the Climate” was written by Naomi Klein about climate change and its solutions in relation to the economy as well as the political reactions to such solutions. Her article mainly revolves around the premise that climate change deniers are right about one thing, that in order to fix climate change, drastic changes in the modern economic models are needed. To this end, she makes a good, albeit flawed argument, as although she does provide a plethora of sources for her…

Believe it or not, climate change is here, real, and affecting the world around us with irreversible consequences caused by humans. At this point, there is a monumental amount of data and scientific agreement on climate change, every single person should be scared of climate change and the effects it is having on the world. The current level of abhorrence at the very thought that humans are causing the climate to change, that the climate even is changing, and that this change is having…
