Climate Change

Humanity never thank that they have mother earth. For the past years, we have taken more

from the planet, that we have given back. This topic is to inform the readers that climate change is

an issue that is happening in this instance. If humankind does not do something about this problem,

there could be severe consequences. Climate change impacts all the population; it doesnt matter

if you are contributing to the problem or not. It is essential to expand awareness so that more and

more human beings can add to the solution. First, it is crucial to understand the problem, what

causes it, and the consequences.

I. Studies have shown that climate change is increasing year after year. Oceans are getting

warmer; hurricanes form rapidly, huge deforestations occur, and more.

A. But now, progress appears to be faltering. Smog has gotten worse for the second straight

year, even though emissions are on the decline. (Barboza)

B. Many species, including humans, struggle to survive when temperatures rise too high. But

even small increases can affect animals, causing subtle changes in physiology or behavior

that alter how they fare. (Wilcox 1)

C. In consequence, the voices arguing that the current rapid acceleration of climate warming

is man-made and that urgent action needs to be taken to counter the phenomenon are often

rendered ineffective by those whose incomes and fortunes depend on downplaying the

threat. (Steadman 1)

II. Humanity is the first contributor to the problem of climate change. In the last few years, there

have been meeting between countries to talk about this issue. However, if solutions are wanted,

there needs to be more action coming from all the people.

A. Preparing for and adapting to climate change is also an opportunity for healthcare systems

to reexamine both their ability to remain resilient in a disaster and their role in mitigating

climate-related disease burdens by reducing emissions that contribute to climate change.

(Benjamin 1)

B. and tracked how dirty energy money in politics affect the policies around climate

change. (Greenpeace)

C. Large numbers of Americans are interested in learning more about climate change, yet

the supply of educational outreach is not keeping up with public demand for information.

(Perkins 4)

III. The consequences of climate change are impacting lives. A major number of people has been

affected by the consequences of climate change (natural disasters, and more.)

A. Property owners sued St. Johns County for private property taking because the Atlantic

Ocean was impacting the only road access to their homes and the county had been unable

to keep the road in an equivalent condition (Deady 3)

B. As temperatures rise, so too will sea levels. Globally, the sea level has risen about 20

centimeters since the beginning of the 20th century and more than 5 centimeters in the last

twenty years (Steadman 3)

In conclusion, climate change is a situation that cannot wait longer to be addressed. Humanity

needs to be aware of the case and put all the effort they can to help to the solution of the changing

climate. Governments also need to inform their citizens and create programs for climate awareness.

After all, all that matters are where we live. We live on planet earth, that is why we need to conserve

it and take care of it.
