Global Warming Persuasive Essay

Global warming is not a big deal what's so ever. Too many average people are freaking out over nothing. We should all just leave it to the more experienced political leaders and scientists. It’s not like everyday people can make an impact on the environment. All these nations are trying to work together, when in reality it’s causing more arguments. Why not just leave the earth to warm up? We will all be dead before anything extreme happens anyway. Right now the oceans are bringing in more water, coral reefs are dying, and the air is getting foggier. Why don’t we look at the bright side of these things happening? Everyone is focusing on the negatives. For example now the fish will have more room to swim and we will have more places to ride boats

and have fun on the water if the ice keeps melting. If the coral reefs keep dying then we don’t have to worry about hurting our feet and legs when we go out to swim by it, and this will especially help surfers around the world. Yes the air is getting foggier, but it’s not noticeable in most places around America and Europe, it’s pretty much only noticeable in Asian countries such as China. Just don’t go live in those countries, it’s as simple as that. Yes global warming is an issue in today's world, but we shouldn’t worry about it. The ocean, coral reefs, cities, and people in today's world can take care of themselves and focus on the more important issues, such as terrorism. It’s not going to get fixed in this century, so why care at all?
Before the industrial revolution, no one cared at all about global warming.

We all did what we had to do for survival, no matter what we hurt. And that’s what we should do in today's world. We all need to take a lesson from the past and care for us again. A surge in sea levels in the coming decades will continue a trend that began around 1950 ( Seas `could rise by more than…). So? Has any normal person actually noticed this? Because I know I haven't. It’s really only the scientist. 2014 was the hottest year ever recorded till 2015 snatched the crown-till 2016 obliterated the record (Global warming: this is…). Can we really blame global warming for this? Or CO2 emissions? Last Summer featured some of the hottest days ever reliably recorded on this planet (Global warming: this is…). From what I remember the Summer is supposed to be hot. It’s not like we can really trust these scientist. They just want their “research” in magazines and newspapers and to cause unneeded argument. They just want to be the cause to something. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the IPCC notes, has shot up by 40 percent since 1750, with concentrations of the gas now increasing at a faster rate than at any time in the last 22,000 years (A warming warning).Okay first off in 1750 was there any good record keeping that we can actually trust to say this? No there isn't. In 1750 they did not have any high enough technological advances to actually test the air for carbon. In 1750 they didn’t even have the cotton gin yet. And had only first found evidence of

electricity.
First off, does anyone REALLY understand the impacts of global warming? If all these nations are getting angry at people, why don’t they inform us more? We being the average people we are, could put just as much blame on the scientist, as they’re on us. When American scientist complain about public illiteracy and lethargy on the vitally important subject of climate change, they also have themselves to blame (Warm spring weather…). People can’t just put all their blame on us. And have any of these scientist actually witnessed global warming? How are we supposed to know these facts when we haven't actually seen the test tubes, charts, data, and pictures? Generally, those who know the most about climate - and other important scientific fields - are locked up in their university ivory towers and conference rooms, speaking a language only they can understand (Warm spring weather…). I’m only going to believe scientist if I see global warming myself and am directly affected. Global warming is also ruining our economy, wasting millions of dollars on earth. When those dollars could go towards preventing starvations and fighting terrorism. The cost of climate change - maintaining and insuring infrastructure, industry preparation, property damages and losses - are climbing (Ignoring climate change…). There is actual proof that all of these costs aren’t going to amount to anything. There is virtually no chance that nations will prevent the world from warming more than 2 degrees (Ignoring climate change…). This is exactly why we should stop caring and wasting our time. There’s some thought that with a warming planet, that this is overall good for the quality of wine - that warmer seasons have been good for french wine (Global warming is reshaping…). Climate change has brought us many positives that we have yet to even notice. It’s helping wine become better, which is a plant in the beginning, so why can’t we just be happy?
People are just looking for more things to complain about, one being global warming. For example coral reefs are stressed by a number of human activities in addition to climate change, and climate change is likely to increase the damage caused by these other stresses (Coral reefs…). Then it’s a good thing they’re going away. People need more room and space to do their activities. Ignoring data will put the United States behind the rest of the world in terms of research and won’t make the warming world go away (Ignoring climate change…). The United States need to focus on itself more anyway. We all know global warming is not going away, and that it has overcome us. The people can do absolutely nothing about it anymore. People really need to know that everything does happen for a reason. This is supposed to happen to earth for a reason. For example the rising seas. Implications of rising sea levels are dramatic, threatening to make large swathes of low-lying coastal cities uninhabitable and spark an exodus of people to higher ground (Seas `could rise by more than…). Overpopulation is becoming a problem anyway. Rising seas could easily be the solution to this. Wiping out cities and coastal towns is just what we need to solve it. People also seem to be blaming Trump and his presidency on completely everything. People are saying we need to rise to the occasion. Not only in our day jobs but in our roles as citizens-of city, state, country, planet (Global warming: this is…). People have other things much more important to care about than this. Such as there jobs and lives. Everyone is just trying to live their lives the best they can, why can’t we just leave them alone and stop bother people about global warming? Everyone is also freaking out about CO2 emissions. Scientist are set to claim that the increasing amount of greenhouse gases that humans have emitted into the atmosphere has almost certainly been the chief driver of the warming of the planet over the past half-century (A warming warning). In reality I love that we’re having a problem with CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. It’s really not a problem either. It’s just showing that America and other countries are really advancing in industrial revolutions. More factories are being made and working, meaning more jobs and innovations for the world.
Overall we don’t have a problem here. The world has been working like this for years and it’s still turning. So instead of all becoming tree huggers let's actually do something worthwhile. Celebrities are affecting too many minds, when they’re the last people we want to listen too. They live in mansions, and roll around in limousines, what are they going to know about global warming? In all people are listening to the wrong people, and caring way too much. Only looking at the negatives and not the positives is going to make anything look like a problem. Becoming blind to global warming is probably the best thing we as average humans can do. Let’s leave it to later generations to deal and die with.
