Smol, John P. “Climate Change: A planet in flux.” Nature.2012 Supplement, pS12-S15
Human activities are affecting the earth’s climate, the world’s carbon dioxide is increasing by about 60 billion tons a year, which is the cause of global warming gasses. In this article, John focuses on the effects of global warming on animals, plants and human agricultural activities. If you plan to write an article about the global warming, John’s article would be a good starting point. Of course, this article also told us that global warming is a very urgent problem, it requires cooperation between countries to cope jointly.

Weather is a complicated and subject to study, but this book makes it much easier to learn the basics. Aguado and Burt's textbook are thorough and covers Climate Change; the authors use everyday occurrences to illustrate meteorology and climatology, having to do with numerical climate modeling, weather, and climate, etc. But this one takes an integrated approach, avoiding many complex equations, so you can see the entire forest and not get lost in all the comparisons of this complex subject. I recommend this for anyone that is interested in weather who wants to learn more or for anyone interested in climate …show more content…

Also, her focus on the fossil fuels industry as the strategic target of the movement clearly highlights the importance of isolating one of the most malignant sectors of industrial capitalism. Klein may very well be correct in her analysis that the Climate Crisis needs a movement as profound as these, but the examples of Climate Activism she cites seem to be pale imitators of these intense movements towards social justice. The world is a more intelligent, diverse and challenging place that Klein would have us believe. I applaud this book for arguing the case for immediate and urgent Climate Action powerfully now. I worry that the suggested path towards a solution is too Utopian and lacking in real political bite and

  • Summary: Love Will Save This Place By Naomi Klein

    1347 Words  | 6 Pages

    The author wants the reader to have hope though, she wants the reader to have faith that we can do this, together. The author highlights the successes of climate activists already and in doing so entrenches the movement. Klein is very clear in her deliberation: no more fossil fuels, protect our water, and humans are the cause for all of this. By taking a direct approach she creates finality in her argument. Like when you’d ask your parent why they said no, only to hear the most unbeatable logic ever in return, “because I said”.

    The United States, as a leading example for the word, must start taking action to cut its use of fossil fuels. I believe that the effects of global warming are very similar to the effects that tobacco has on a person, you can’t see it but it slowly builds up to destroy you. In other words, if we don’t take action right now to cut carbon dioxide and prevent the increasing greenhouse effect, the ocean levels will slowly rise as glaciers melt and retreat, imperiling the habitat of many endangered species. Since global warming is a proven phenomena, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, it’s important for the government to regulate the carbon dioxide emissions of factories and the car manufacturers by enforcing laws and regulations.

  • Climate Change In Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything

    632 Words  | 3 Pages

    Naomi Klein's novel, This Changes Everything highlights the most imperative actions that need to be taken towards climate change. Klein discusses that as a society we overlook the causes and the changes that need to happen to the systems that are making the crisis inevitable. She encourages formulating a mass movement for climate change that supports changes in the economic system. Klein’s main argument is that, most people think that climate change is a threat, “we have not done the things that are necessary to lower emissions because those things fundamentally conflict with deregulated capitalism” which is the “reigning ideology” of our time (p.18). The purpose of the book is that Klein is supplying society with a challenge: are we on the right path, are we doing the right things for ourselves and for the future, or is this the best we can be?

  • Persuasive Essay On Climate Change

    1776 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the final 2016 presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, climate change received a mere two seconds worth of airtime. Surprisingly, Clinton’s brief recognition of the issue represents a substantial improvement from the 2012 campaigns, an election in which climate change was never formally mentioned during a live, national debate (Zeller Jr. and Zelman). Based on this synopsis, one might conclude that neither politicians nor the general public is at all concerned with global warming; however, this deduction couldn’t be more fallacious. In fact, the majority of Americans “overwhelmingly believe” that global warming is a major issue, and that “carbon emissions should be scaled back” (Popovich et. al). The unfortunate reality

  • The Pros And Cons Of Climate Change

    948 Words  | 4 Pages

    Climate change as a global phenomenon becomes up for contention when the world’s leading advice-giving institute, the IPCC that was once believed to be of credible backings, has evolved into an institution hackled with doubt and distrust under external pressures. We must first understand that decisions involving climate change has always been backed by scientific advice. Data supporting IPCC’s supposedly scientific claims comes from variegated sources but the sole platform by which governments derive advice with regard to the policies they have to pass to tackle climate change has been the Assessment Reports produced by the IPCC which was a made a byproduct of the UN member governments in 1988 (Henderson, 2010). 3.1 IPCC’s Externally-Driven

  • Climate Change Of 1992 By Richard Gardiner

    In this article, Gardiner goes over the treaty that was proposed called the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change of 1992. This treaty addressed the world problem of climate change that’s causing global warming that would pose a significant threat to the world in the future. Several countries were offered to participate in this treaty, and many developed countries signed, but the United States government chose not to. The fact that the U.S. chose not to sign led the population to have many ethical questions about the topic and whether climate change actually did pose a significant threat. Gardiner argues that there are “five concerns of climate policy.”

  • Climate Change Persuasive Essay

    1284 Words  | 6 Pages

    Climate change has had its own spot in the scientific debate landscape for years. From being recognized as a potential issue in the mid-19th century to becoming one of the most polarizing scientific topics of recent years, this issue is far from concluded. The scientific consensus is that carbon dioxide emissions that are a direct result of human consumption of fossil fuels have caused a recent spike in global average temperatures. Temperatures will continue to increase unless global carbon dioxide production is decreased, and the achieving the rate in which carbon dioxide needs to be cut only becomes harder as time passes. This essay is not attempting to convince anyone that action needs to be taken to combat climate change; at this point,

  • The Pros And Cons Of Climate Change

    With the creation of the Kyoto Protocol in 1992 at the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC), it has been politically established with international consensus (at least concerning the members of the UN) that climate change is a scientifically proven cause for concern and must begin being addressed immediately. The increasing concentrations of CO2 in our atmosphere as well as the blatant, continuous rise in mean temperatures are becoming unavoidable. Projections of future consequence have been modeled and the danger can be visualized with alarming clarity. Given that climate change policy is now “one of the most fashionable issues in the international public arena” (Dupuis), it stands to reason that implementing policy

    The dictionary defines climate change as a weather change. However, from a scientific perspective, it is a change in global climate pattern, and it is a long-term change in average weather conditions that is most affected by human activities. Furthermore, it is framed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, produced by using fossil fuels. People who do not care about stopping pollution are only helping with the widening of the Ozone Hole. This is really dangerous, because the Ozone Hole Layer is protecting the earth from a lot of harm.
