Global Warming Is Wrong

Global Warming: The Critics Have It Wrong
Contrary to many critic’s beliefs, global warming is a real issue that needs our immediate attention. It should be important to everyone, as it is and will continue to affect everyone’s way of life globally. There is countless evidence that shows that the earth is in trouble. The unbelievers need to open their eyes to see that the earth is pleading for our help, but so far, we have not been listening. The 45th President of the United States claiming that the issue of climate change is nothing but a hoax can cause detrimental consequences to our environment. While President Trump says that he is indeed “open minded”, he continues to declare rhetoric that aligns more with those who believe that there
The rise in power of those who don’t believe that climate change is a serious issue is allowing others to believe all is well too. The planet now is showing other ways to get our attention. We are being punished now with storms that are getting more severe by the day, causing wave after wave of destruction, rising sea levels that threaten the entire ecosystem including the humans that inhabit it droughts that keep us from quenching our thirst, and the rise in communicable diseases that take advantage of the environment’s misfortunes.
Global warming is a real threat. The magnitude of disaster, however, is not yet known for the future. Critics who claim that climate change is a hoax because summers get hot and winters get cold are missing the point entirely (Mazo 1). Over time, there has been an increase in the intensity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and flooding. Per Radetzki, “Violent and frequent hurricanes
With climate change adjusting precipitation trends, this changes where moisture falls. Some areas are experiencing an overabundance of precipitation while other areas are left severely lacking (Understanding the Link Between Climate Change and Extreme Weather 3). This change in weather patterns is causing some areas to experience severe droughts. These droughts are causing an increase in wildfires and putting stresses on farming. Wildfires are on trend to continue to increase in quantity and in severity. “The western wildfire season has grown from five months on average in the 1970s to seven months today. The annual number of large wildfires has increased by more than 75 percent” (Playing with Fire: The Soaring Costs of Western Wildfires (2014) 1). A 75 percent increase from over forty years back is a huge deal, especially when every little bit adds up. How can such a large increase that is being documented for a near half-century be a scam for more funding? This kind of thought processing can lead one to believe that all scientists are liars, where then does the line get drawn? Once again, the increase in temperatures is the main culprit for wildfires. Early spring thaws dry out the land leaving areas dry and exposed for longer
