Sybenga 7 __ Is It Hot in Here? __  Probably the worst title ever. It is 45 degrees outside today; yesterday it was 70 degrees, and a few days before that it was in the 30s. This unpredictable weather is not what the mid-Atlantic expects in late February, one of the explanations for these jumps in temperature is global warming. As one of the most controversial issues overcoming the world, solutions preventing global warming need to be implemented worldwide. rephrase wording in previous sentence, hard to follow. Awkward wording in the previous sentence. It seems like you are talking about two seperate ideas so it might be better if you add a semicolon or make it two seperate sentences. In order to make the problem known to every human being, the actuality of global warming, the effects it has on the economy, and what it means for future generations need to be known by the human race. talk about how it should be taken into discussion by leaders Most people in the world believe that global warming is a dangerous issue, but some course of action needs to be done (needs to be taken) to show the non-believers that it exists. It is astonishing that people can deny the truth of global warming when in reality in this last century, “the world’s average surface temperature rose by approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit” (source A). Better integration of quote, doesn't flow. That is the fastest rate in any century in the last 1000 years; therefore one should feel compromised to want compelled ﻿to do something about global warming. Also, in a graph that records the change in global ocean surface temperature, it is obvious that in the last 100 years there has been a steep rise in temperature (source B). Because of the statistical data that can be found in many places, no person should deny that global warming exists. While most people can just go on the Internet and Google the effects of global warming, there are still many humans in the world who are not aware of the issue. In order to resolve the crisis, information about it needs to be more accessible to people who otherwise cannot come into contact with the harsh reality realization. Should have a transition that leades to the economic effects Most people only believe that global warming effects the environment, but what many people do not know is that it is a major factor in to the economies of every developed nation. The world spends an obscene amount of money on things like thousands of deadly bombs and other weapons, but instead destroying each other, nations should realize that “2% of the World’s GDP is a very small cost” to stop destroying the world (source E). If there is a person who never goes outside and does not care about the environment -does not make sense, a damaged economy is something that everyone feels no matter what his or her view on global warming is. There are arguments that because of the state the world is currently in, there must be a choice “between a higher economic welfare and a greener environment” (source D). However, inexpensive policies have already been created that are conserving the environment while saving money for the world. For example, the Kyoto protocol has been implemented in over 100 countries to cut carbon emissions, and it turns out that countries did not lose money but created new cheap, efficient ways to solve global warming. More policies like the Kyoto protocol need to be created for the world to save the environment because while many people want to diminish global warming, others are not up for the costs. Transition should lead to the effects on future generations Global warming is a very unstable issue in our current time, but if it is not acted upon then the future generations will suffer more than our generation has. It is estimated that if forests are conserved and protected, then the world may be able to avoid “20 percent of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 50 years” (source A). One can further infer that by not acting on this issue, and then future humans can expect a deteriorating world. As it turns out, “carbon emissions...are predicted to rise by more than 30% by 2012” (source E). It is hard to imagine for something like that to happen in the near future, but that prediction will soon be a reality if nothing is done now. It is unethical to let our future generations suffer for our wrongdoing, therefore laws and policies need to be created now so they do not endure the pain we create for them. Global warming is real. There are tons of statistics to prove its existence and most people in the world are in support to stop it. Although, there are people who either do not believe, do not want to believe, or are oblivious to the issue. The main issues of global warming is whether it exists or not, its effect on the economy, and its effect on future generations. These are the key point’s leaders need to be aware of when they are developing policies to get rid of this problem. Global warming is an issue that most species feel the consequences of, but it is up to us humans to be the saviors to the world.
