The debate over climate issues is an old one with the attitudes
of environmentalists shifting throughout the debate over the
years. Volumes have already been written on this issue. In my opinion, global warming seems to be a fit case for the purpose of writing an assignment and this would certainly help to draw attention to the problem. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the world is now warmer than it has been at any point of time in the last two millennia and if current trends continue by the end of this century, there will be a significant increase in the average temperature of the land as well as the sea. There is a mass of evidence to indicate that increased carbon dioxide emissions have led to change in the temperature and human actions are to be blamed for this. An assignment on climate issues should raise the issue of global warming as many reputed scientists now have gone on record stating that this would have disastrous consequences for mankind such as melting of glaciers, negative impact on the food production and serious damage to marine life. On the other side of the fence, some people think that global warming is more than a media-hype. These are the natural changes that happen after few years. There are many other problems such as deforestation, ozone layer depletion and acid rain that need to be considered more than global warming. In the light of above arguments, it can be concluded that all climate issues are effecting our environment in some manner but global warming has become a major issue for the mankind.
