Opinion Essay

Topic: Global warming is the most significant environmental problem facing us today.(agree or not)


It's important to acknowledge that since our world has started this climate changes, scientists have been investigating to know the reason. This is happening because of the human activities that are damaging our planet, we are producing global warming. In my opinion global warming is not the biggest problem we have but it is producing the biggest environmental problems we have. This topic is really important and affects the whole world, people should be informed about this because if everyone knows then everyone can help to stop it. I will examine arguments for and against this topic from different points of views and then I will draw a conclusion about it.

It is important to mention that, according to the solutions book essay, we have relied on things like fossil fuels which poured a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, this was a cause of Global warming, and global warming has produced major problems like climate change, and climate change is producing more problems in people's life, like extreme temperatures ruining different plantations, diseases are increasing, etc. 

A davidsuzuki.org article said that climate change/global warming deniers say "The global climate is getting warmer, but not because of human activities ". That said, according to a globalissues.org article, it's the opposite, they even say it's true that greenhouse effect is natural but it is creating climate changes because of the carbon dioxide we have been generating and it has been accumulating in the atmosphere, thanks to this it is holding much more heat than needed and eventually it will make life for humans, plants and animals in the earth "harder". In other words the earth is becoming less habitable.

"The global climate is actually getting colder", another denier argument, global warming is an irrefutable issue, it is happening and it is produced by us, scientist have done enough investigations and it has been proved that the earth's atmosphere is full of carbon dioxide that is containing heat from the sun, so this is producing climate changes. In some places this has been extreme, and it is not just warmer, it might be colder, depending on where you are in the world, so climate is not getting just warmer, it might be colder too.

Considering all this, I would say that global warming is a really important issue and we should start caring about it before it becomes a bigger problem. Eventually it will create more problems and we will have bigger issues. I am against the idea that global warming is our biggest issue, but I think it is creating the biggest ones we are facing. While we can't change our energy resources in one day, we can start making a change individually and make less damage to the world.
