Persuasive Climate Change

Al Gore’s well-known documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth” premiered a few years ago to emphasize human impact on climate change and how it’s negatively affecting the rest of the world. Some people think it is brainwashing audiences with propaganda while others simply enjoyed the remarkable documentary. While the subject of man-made climate change did not start as a controversial topic, now another controversy is linked to it – whether teachers should teach climate change as fact or debatable to American students. Academic institutes, school boards, teachers, climatologists, scientists, and common citizens all rose to defend their opinions on the issue. While one side argues that climate change should be taught as fact and the other claims that
First off, there is a plentiful amount of scientific data and evidence to prove man-made climate change as a fact, even if skeptics say there is not enough or refuse to believe it for their mindless political reasons. Data collected by climatologists show that the climate is warming year after year due to high quantities of greenhouse gas from the burning of fossil fuels and other human-induced causes. Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. Studying these climate data collected over many years reveal the signals of a changing climate. Factors such as “rapid glacier melting at the poles, sea level rise, extreme weather, increasing hot summers, global temperature rise, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, ocean acidification, and declining artic sea ice” are just some of the results found affected by man-made climate change according to NASA. Moreover, there’s the percentage of folks in the South who believe that climate change is debatable. These people, according to the article, live lives that are depended on their jobs of digging fossil fuels and other resources. Susan Buhr said that resistance to the scientific consensus breaks down mostly along regional lines, with greater pushback in the South. As a result, people in these regions choose not to verify the truth behind climate change for they are bias. But is their being selfishly bias worth enough for the misguiding of students nationwide regarding the issue of man-made climate change? I do not think so. This controversy is bigger than all of the southern folks combined and its outcome will have a greater affect in education than the continuance of digging fossil fuels to sustain lives. Climate change is proven by plenty of evidence to be hard-core real! It must
