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.
