Paper #2 In this essay, I will argue in support of the RTNA’s position that we have to find new “real” solutions to reduce greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emissions with “real” solutions and organize against faulty climate solutions that harm the communities or environment. Companies are now desperate to find ways to avoid any regulation or adjustments that may harm their profits or economical stand point, so they present “false” solutions or solutions that they know aren’t going to work as a way to stall and confuse our society (“False Solutions to Climate Change” 471). One of the “false solutions”, Carbon capture and storage (CCS), has been presented to assert that instead of …show more content…
The opposing side might state that these solutions that are being presented are a way of these corporate organizations trying to apply themselves and actually look for new and convenient ways to cut down on emissions and greenhouse gases in attempt to alleviate the whole issue of climate change. Which is fine, although being that it is not that case that we control time in our own hands, these corporate companies should make it a priority to find more possible and potent solutions to this climate change and emissions issue. Carbon capture and storage, otherwise known as CCS, is a solution brought up that takes an alternative route rather than stopping pollution and emissions or replacing a fossil fuel with means of finding new energy (472). It allows for no further adjustments in regards to industries and other activities, it buries the carbon emissions …show more content…
One can understand the view point of this opposition’s concern because it is a valid argument. Organizations are finding ways to cut down on emissions by giving suggestive idea “solutions” . Suggesting solutions help the cause. Therefore it is the case that organizations are helping the cause of climate change and reducing emissions by suggesting their ideas on solutions for the cause. It is a valid argument. Although it is a valid argument, in the article of “False Solutions to Climate Change”, the author argues that effective and just solutions to climate change require decisions to be made that involve everyone affected by the results of the decisions; which is everybody on Earth, not just deals between those who are just worried by their profits (480). Organizations need to be able to find new and potent solutions that are very possible of happening in a quick and efficient manner. Only after corporate interests and centuries-old colonial mindsets have been broken, then we can begin creating a new, more just society
