Global Warming Essay

Fifty years ago, a startling discovery was made. There was a hole in the sky! Chemicals and aerosols depleted the ozone layer, wh o i ch protects the earth from harmful UV rays. Since then, scientists, environmentalists, and citizens have learned more about the phenomena of global warming, or climate change. The effects of climate change and global warming will have a negative impact o f n future political relationships, migration patterns and economic well-being. make sure you state that these are issues that must be taken into account when policies are being created . Your thesis needs to discuss that these are factors policy makers must consider. (It's difficult to see how your arguments relates to policy makers.)

The Kyoto Protocol was the first in-depth piece of legislation with the sole intent of curbing global warming and increasing conservation efforts. Sub thesis should talk about an issue that should be debated. One hundred and forty countries agreed to lower their carbon emissions. Though that seems as if it would be effective in lessening the impact of global warming, "the United States and Australia, which together account for one-quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, did not" ratify it. (A) The United States prides itself in being the leader in world trade, however, by putting their own interests in front of the health of the world, other countries may not be as willing to trade with the U.S and it can could lead to a rockier economic relationship. As the U.S faces increasing pressures from the outside world, pressures can also arise from within their own boundaries. Many large states, or states with large populations, exult more carbon emissions than other states, "eighteen states...have set requirements or goals for renewable energy". (C) Politicians will need to recognize this as potential problem. The U.S has never faced a problem with limited resources because the country is so fruitful and also exploits periphery countries for their resources. However, the country will have to figure out how to deal with the resources in a fair and equal manner to each state, if a shortage is to occur. For example, oil is becoming less abundant everyday, therefore oil-rich states, such as Texas, will gain more power. It is also is important to note the increasing cost of oil. If some states can simply pump liquid gold from their ground, other states may feel inferior to the powerful states. The friction ultimately will lead to more political problems. Just like the sea level, political tensions seem to rise as global warming increases it damage. Transition should talk about migration patterns. (How does you topic sentence connect to leaders or key issues?)

Global warming will lead to different migration patterns for people and animals. It is imperative the policymakers and geographer recognize the potential hazards and backlash that the events can lead to. Sea level have consistently increased (E) and threaten to eclipse coastlines. The majority of the world's population inhabits coastal areas, compared to the sparsely inhabited interior of land masses. If sea levels continue to rise, there will be a mass exodus from the coast into the heartland, leading to problems caused by overpopulation and food shortage. Pretty bold claim. Governments and world leaders must enact laws and policies to curb sea level growth because the world is not prepared to face such a problem. Similarly, in the case of animal, climate change has impacted "the slow evolutionary process of species adaptation." (F) Evidence of said change includes: birds laying eggs earlier and flying north several days earlier. Many biologist blame climate change for the early Spring that will become the norm unless something is done to cease to damage. Migration patterns will change and cause multitudes of unprecedented challenges, only stalled by policymaker's decisions.

Economics will adapt towards global warming. People will invest into "green" technology. Choosing between luxury and environmentally friendly however, is not a black-and-white choice. Adjusting to change will make the shift to "green" technology

Really engaging hook. could talk more about how global warming has been largely debated in topic paragraph.
