CHRISTIAN EILERS

In this essay I will discuss about whether we should combat Global Warming or learn to live with it. This is an important topic since global warming affects the whole world, so everyone should have his/her own opinion. I will look into arguments that are either for or against and get a conclusion based on this.

Firstly, according to Bob Carter in an Express' post, climate change isn't that big of a problem, and we should learn to live with it since carbon dioxide levels will rise anyway because of natural events, whether we want or not. He also states that no significant warming has occurred  since 1958. I'd like to counter this since even though those facts are true, Global Warming is still a fact and we should revert what we've done wrong. Also,  it doesn't really matter wether we caused carbon dioxide rises or not, it still is a fact and is damaging the environment.According to the Suzuna Ridier's research, scientists say that crops are being seriously damaged in some places, causing less production.

Secondly, people argue that there is an economic problem at combating climate change, saying that we should instead use that money on education. I can't dissaprove the fact that education is important but, why is money even involved in this? We can start by making a change at small things like picking up garbage, taking shorter showers, not using too much energy, etc. Small changes will eventually sum up into a big impact. As another fact, even though it is true that it can be really expensive, global warming is a problem now, if it wasn't, no one would be talking about it. Economical problem shouldn't be a complication. First of all, the US army takes 25% of the citizens taxes, why can't it be around 20% and use only 5% for global warming causes? As another fact, there are many volunteers around the world, those would cover big part of the issue.

However, there is another problem, which is an energy problem, fossil fuels cover up most of the world's energy sources. This is a trouble that needs to be resolved. Luckily, there are already alternatives for this such as wind, solar, water power or other renewable, green energy sources.

Finally, I would conclude that even though there are some problems into combating Global Warming, it is totally worth it. In terms of how to do this, volunteers can help the economical problems and energy sources should be changed into renewable, green ones. Global Warming is  affecting everyone, I am against sitting back and living with it.

Essay

In this essay I will discuss about wether we should combat Global Warming or learn to live with it. This is an important topic since global warming affects the whole world, so everyone should have his/her own opinion. I will look into arguments that are either for or against and get a conclusion based on this.

Firstly, according to the first source, climate change isn't that big of a problem, and we should learn to live with it since carbon dioxide levels will rise anyway because of natural events, wether we want or not. He also states that no significant warming has occurred  since 1958. I'd like to counter this since even though those facts are true, Global Warming is still a fact and we should revert what we've done wrong. Also,  it doesn't really matter wether we caused carbon dioxide rises or not, it still is a fact and is damaging the environment.According to the second source,  scientists say that crops are being seriously damaged in some places, causing less production.

Secondly, people argue that there is an economic problem at combating climate change, saying that we should instead maintain the current problem, without getting it worse until 2100, where people will be richer, making this economical problem not important. Even though this is true, it is really expensive, it really is necessary now, global warming is a problem now, if it wasn't no one would be talking about it. Economical problem shouldn't be a thing. First of all, the US army takes 25% of the citizens taxes, why can't it be around 20% and use only 5% for global warming causes?

It's not worth combatting global warming, we should learn to live with it.


1st argument:

Suzanna Didier(UNKNOWN). General format. Retrieved from http://homeguides.sfgate.com/global-warming-affect-daily-life-78745.html

Global Warming is affecting everyone's lives, not only as a community but also as each person's daily routine. This article is an awesome example as how this happens in my opinion since you it explains the different areas where it affects.
For example, it affects the food price since global warming may damage crops sometimes, proceeding into less production. As another example we can see that fresh water is becoming scarcer in some regions. Scientists expect lake levels to drop as the climate continues to warm up, which also may affect it's price and availability.
As a conclusion, he believes the same that I do, it is clearly a big problem and we should not let it be, it's something worth combatting, he gives reasons and examples as how it could make our lives worse.

2nd argument(counter argument):

Dr. Ira Glickstein (2014, January 12). General format. Retrieved from http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/01/12/global-warming-is-real-but-not-a-big-deal-2/

I seem unable to understand his point of view. According to him(Anonymous), since global warming is mainly caused by natural events, global warming isn't that big of a problem.
Well, from what I can say it is our job to cover those problems. Imagine there is a forest fire. It may or may have not been caused by humanity, but that doesn't matter. Wether it is or isn't our cause it still affects our lives. Living with it by ignoring it will just end in worse. You can see how this is demonstrated by how crops price goes up because of global warming. Bad weather (caused by global warming) will result in less crops, less crops means higher prices and lower food.
