Essay

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 most important problem we have but it is producing the major environmental issues 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 Tim Falla and Paul Davies(2012), 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(N/D) 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 Anup Shah(2013), it's the opposite, he even says  it is 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 argument of a global warming denier and only a really ignorant person would believe it. Global warming is an irrefutable issue, it is happening and it has been 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. According to Anup Shaw (2013), in some places this has been extreme, and it is not just warmer, it might be colder too.

Considering all this, I would say that global warming is a really controversial issue and we should start caring about it before it becomes unstopable. Eventually it will create more problems and we will be in a difficult situation. I am against the idea that global warming is our most significant environmproblem, but I think it is creating the most important problems that we have. We won't be able to change our energy resources in one day, but we can start making a change individually and make less damage to the world.

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.

Climate Change and Global Warming Introduction. November 11,2013.  Anup Shaw

Site: http://www.globalissues.org/article/233/climate-change-and-global-warming-introduction#WhatisGlobalWarmingandClimateChange

This source explains what is global warming and why it is causing climate changes, it shows the effects that they are producing in the world. It also explains how this is different from similar things that have happened in the past. It has different graphs about CO2 dangerous emissions in the world, it compares global temperature from the 1900's and today. It says where global warming is going, the impacts of global warming in our world and our lives, also extreme weather events on the world, and ecosystem impacts. Problems in agriculture, diseases are increasing and a lot of problems that are happening due to climate change. The countries that are being affected the most, greenhouse gas emissions that have been increasing dangerously. How warming is happening faster than predicted. I think this is useful because it explains global warming and climate change in a lot of aspects.


Climate change deniers.
Site: http://www.davidsuzuki.org/issues/climate-change/science/climate-change-basics/climate-change-deniers/

This site talks about climate change deniers, they deny that global warming and climate changes and all the things that they are causing. In the past they just said that global warming wasn't real, that the global climate is actually getting colder and a lot of things not scientifically proved. Some of them say that it is happening but not because of human activities. But now after years of scientific research some of them say it is happening but the cost to fix it is too high, so their tactics are changing to convince people that it's not something real or it will be really hard to fix it or that we are not causing it. This is useful because it shows what people is saying about this topic and how without any scientific support they say it is fake.

Solitions Upper-intermediate Student's book. Tim Falla, Paul A Davies.Page 88 Opinion Essay.

It's an opnion essay that talks about how we can improve our lives without damaging the environment, it gives different arguments about how we can do this and some of them are useful for my essay.

Screenplay: Gladiator

After Commodus leaves the arena, feeling humilliated and ashamed of himself, he goes inside and talks to one of his advisers to find a way to solve this problem...

Commodus: I can't believe what they made me do... I would've killed him right there!

Adviser: But Sir... You did what you had to do to avoid everyone hating you or even doing a rebellion for killing their "hero".

Commodus: I know... But it made me look weak, it made them realize they could control me.

Adviser: Don't worry about that, they haven't done anything yet and they won't...

Commodus: I already know that but how can I make them respect me? They should fear me, I can kill them if I want... But today they were controlling me, that's not how Rome works! The Emperor controlling the people is the right thing...

Adviser: You can't kill him, that would just make everyone angry, it can compromise your life, if you want to do something, you must set it up so it looks like something you didn't plan, an "accident", maybe a battle between slaves where you order everyone to kill him, he will die in battle and no one will know you planned it.

Commodus: Actually... It is a good plan, I just need to set things up and I wouldn't have to kill him... No one will think it was me... So there will be no rebellion, great idea... I will start planning everything right now so it is done as soon as possible.

Commodus leaves.
