Global warming is a very serious real issue and one of the most contributing factors of air
pollution, mainly by greenhouse chemicals. Most, if not all greenhouse chemicals used in this
process go up into the ozone layer and messes with that process and generates more heat than
needed. The ozone layer is the most important part of the earth’s atmosphere, it keeps the earth
protected from the coldness of space and absorbs most of the sun’s heat and sunlight that hits
earth. If something is wrong with the ozone layer, then the earth could go into a nuclear winter,
or can heat up into a ball of fire. As you can see it the latter option since in some places
temperature is rising while in others it’s messing with the weather patterns, it’s even doing both
in most places. This problem was discovered in the early 20th century, but not much was done or
help given into it until the middle of the 20th century. Even still then not a lot of help was given
until the mid-late 20th century. Once it did get around a lot of people started to help out, but still
not everybody believed in global warming. Even today when facts are presented and news about
it is true, the stubborn nonbelievers still won’t admit that it’s true.
Their Arguments mainly just yell out “There’s no proof of it happening!” or “That’s just
nature doing its thing”, but some do hold some ground when presented by facts and statistics.
One good argument says that a cause of global warming called the “Greenhouse effect” that
usually is made by greenhouse chemicals can actually occurs naturally in the wild. Plus one
Gonzalez 2
argument says that the causes of global warming isn’t clear yet but with this one, it’s the weakest
and dumbest thing to say. If these arguments keep popping up everywhere and all of our energy
goes to arguing about it than you can say bye-bye to the earth. If this argument doesn’t stop and
start helping out, than the earth is going to heat up and chook all humans up causing all sorts of
unneeded problems. Weather patterns will be broken, places are starting to heat up and animal’s
migration routes have already been messed with. If more money was put into this issue and, laws
were put in place to limit how much Greenhouse chemicals are brought and used since it is one
of the leading causes of global warming. Second research on global warming is properly funded
so that we can figure out more ways to reduce global warming and then convince other to join
with the new information we gather. This paper doesn’t have a masterful plan how to deal with
this but with what was just said and with other facts that will soon be show to you. In summary
everyone especially those in the younger generations need to start fixing what we’re breaking for
our own faults, carelessness, and stubbornness or else we’re done for.
The effects of global warming has huge consequences on the environments all around the
world, and we do need changes even if it’s little by little. Climate change has even messed with
animal migrations patterns and their ecosystems witch an accidently make them go extinct. “The
potential problems caused by climate change are many. A warmer climate increases the
likelihood of devastating storms throughout the world and alters the migration patterns of many
animals, fundamentally affecting the entire ecosystem.”(Rich, Alex K. /Warhal, Tom). This
single quote says it all, we humans have basically ruined the wild life by our own actions, but if
we start doing something productive than future generations will be proud of us and what we did.
It’s so simple even a mindless moron can do it, and it starts with by changing a simple light bulb.
“According to Union of concerned scientist, if every house hold in America replaced a single
Gonzalez 3
incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb the net effect on pollution would be
equivalent to the disappearance of 7.5 million cars from the road.”(Rich, Alex K. /Warhol, Tom).
This is just the beginning, if humans as a species start changing things around even if its little by
little it’ll eventually it will get better. Over all the main point here is that changing things and
The effects caused by humans on the planet are many, but the one main issue and least
well known is called the greenhouse effect. This in simple terms messes with the earth’s
atmosphere and ruins it with all the gas chemical used. “The problem is that as greenhouse gases
increase, more heat is trapped within the planet’s atmosphere, lead to slow and progressive
increase in the average temperature of Earth.”(Rich, Alex K. /Warhol, Tom). As the reading said
this problem is a big one and further proves why the greenhouse effect needs to be address. Plus
there more than one way the greenhouse effect is caused and not just by actual greenhouses.
“Pollution from the use of fossil fuels has increased tropospheric ozone levels, contributing to
the Greenhouse effect.”(Driscoll, Sally /Flynn). The fossil fuels release other harmful chemicals
into the atmosphere causing even more of a problem. In any case this should help others
understand how server the problem is and will take further action to prevent any more harm than
already done.
Moving from caused to effect, the aftermath of the problem is very extreme and if not
helped then earth is doomed caused by humans. There many resulting effects to be had, but about
the main issue that’s in the main name, climate change/global warming is typically about rising
temperatures. “As the earth’s temperature rises, glaciers melt, ocean levels rises, and unusual
weather patterns occur.”(Driscoll, Sally /Flynn). If the sea levels don’t stop rising than floods
will occur all around the world constantly. It’s not just floods we need to worry about (even
Gonzalez 4
though it’s the important one) heat waves are another issue we have to deal with if not cautioned.
“According to the EPA, the global temperature increased between 0.7 and 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit
(0.4 to 0.8 degrees Celsius) during the twentieth century.”(Driscoll, Sally /Flynn). This is just the
difference before the 2000’s, imagine it how much it is today and how much more it will
increase in the future years if left alone. In conclusion hoping how much the situation has
become up to today and how much it can still affect us; expecting everyone to prevent this from
continuing or getting worse and start helping out should be the standard.
Now, many may be saying that this paper is biased or that it don’t show any “evidence”
for the opposing side, and yes this may be bias towards the issue but that does not mean that this
article doesn’t provide any information for the opposing side; But one of the worst ways some of
the arguments formats provide information, is how unreliable they are. “Artic ice increased in
volume 50% in 2012 alone.”(Rinkesh). This doesn’t account for the Antarctic ice or for the time
from then to now. Those of them who say that the calculations used to predict how bad global
warming would have gotten worst were wrong. “Climate model calculations predicted about
Global warming have been proven to be flawed.”(Rinkesh). Yes, some or even many of them
may have been wrong but that’s just it there’re just predictions not visions of the future, also it
may have been wrong for many other reasons like changing what companies do or how pollution
changed. In any case seeing and hearing both sides of the story is preferable, it’s just that the side
Now it’s something when the facts don’t line up but when the questions are evaded than
that’s where it falls. When those same non-believers who evaded the questions Amit part of the
truth or fact but are still stubborn and just stick to the lie they have in their hands. “Some still
dispute whether there has even been a rise in global temperatures over the past century. Also,
Gonzalez 5
arguments quickly move into the political sphere when solutions are proposed, mostly involving
steps to reduce the use of carbon fuels like petroleum coal.”(Jacobs, W.F. /Warhol Tom). They
say this but still expect others to believe them and join them, like everyone is a moron. Even if
they don’t Amit anything they’ll still try and evade the questions that are asked. “The point of
this discussion is not to dispute the fact that the earth is getting warmer. Nor is it to deny that
there is evidence that melting of glaciers is occurring and that the Arctic icecap may be getting
thinner.”(Jacobs, W.F. /Warhol, Tom). This in fact makes them the morons for not understanding
the severity of the situation and for the stubbornness nature and for not believing in simple facts.
This is by far the weakest argument that anyone can make and is a complete waste of time for
not having the common since of reality; but that doesn’t mean that all arguments are like this.
As stated earlier the Greenhouse effect does occur naturally and is used to combat
arguments against climate change. This is how the ozone layer usually works and functions
without any interference of any kind, especially when humans are in the mixed. “The greenhouse
effect is a naturally occurring process in which the accumulation of atmospheric gasses prevent
radiation from escaping; this radiation then heats the surface of the earth.”(Issitt, Micah L. /
Simone Isadora). This is very true and is a great piece of argument against climate change but
sadly it’s not used very often or treated better. Another descent argument that’s used is the way
global warming is exaggerated in the media. “Some scientist believe that the scientific
community has exaggerated the effects of human activity on global warming.”(Issitt, Micah L. /
Simone Isadora). Sadly these great arguments are greatly overshadowed by easy to make and
clearly flawed ones just because it’s the exact opposite of climate change, and supposedly
convince more people efficiently. Overall if useful information isn’t mentioned in your
Gonzalez 6
argument, then it’s just going to be a waste of potential and greatness and the argument is going
The past few arguments have been useless, idiotic, and/or waste of time; all except one of
course. It’s surprising how easily convince or how brainless how the people can just be easily
persuaded into this and how the only argument that actually holds any ground is discarded or not
widely known for unknown reasons. First off trying to disproof already known facts and evading
the question is not in any way acceptable in any argument for any reason. Second there that fact
that lying or even admitting the smallest amount of truth but is stretched down is a cowardly
move and is the lowest thing to do in an argument. Thirdly the best piece or pieces of counter
arguing about climate change isn’t used as often as it should of. The fact that it’s wasted and not
used properly is a sin and if actually used correctly than people opposing climate change won’t
As I have said before if we don’t start cleaning up the mess we made in the past century
then the earth is doom because of us. The causes and effects of this event includes everyone and
everything on this planet since the consequences of this is extremely desperate. With the many
ways humans have affected the planet with the knowing aftermath, it spells the end of earth. The
disasters of tomorrow can be prevented if arguments about are stop and further action to help the
problem are made. There are many more ways to deal with this problem, but by sending more
funds into research to learn more about the issue and passing some laws to prevent it from
getting worse then the climate may be under control. By doing this more ways can be found that
can make it easier with more research and with new laws added climate change can be prevented
