PLEASE help me with paper on GLOBAL WARMING PLEASE? okay so i don%26#039;t know how to start my persuasive essay and i really don%26#039;t how to start it . How can i get their attention and try to make them listen to me and how they could help Stop Global Warming

THANKS

ALSO WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON GLOBAL WARMING
  • Sorry, can not help as there is no scientific evidence supporting you r thesis. Good luck.
  • you could open up with something about how global warming can make the sea levels rise, or something with the exreme temps. like relate that issue to something and go from there. you should def look up things online and go find some books on it. theres movies too done on the topic. um. my opinion on global warming is that i beliebe in it and not that its just something normal. but you can see the facts specially in how the ice is melting and causing species of animals to lose their homes and such. also with the extreme temp a lot of diseases can come back that arent around now. but im totally for the entire going green thing. it wont hurt anything by doing it rather than do nothing. hope that helped a bit.
  • Calling it %26#039;warming%26#039; has confused people. It is global %26#039;climate change,%26#039; and, while warming is part of it, it also entails cooling. It is not %26#039;either-or%26#039; but %26#039;and.%26#039; It is climate instability, not just warming, and creatures dependent upon climate stability are threatened by instability. They need time to adapt, and instability may deny them that time.

    Man%26#039;s effect is a recent phenomenon of the last 150 years. In 1850, it is estimated there were 1 billion humans on planet Earth. By 1925, only 75 years later, there were 2 billion. But they were vaporizing mountains of coal and oceans of oil, in addition to burning grass and wood and animal dung. They had untold numbers of machines vaporizing fossil fuels, pumping tons of carbon into the planet%26#039;s ecosystem.

    In just 37 more years (1962) there were 3 billion humans, and millions of cars and trucks and boats and planes and lawnmowers and tractors and...you get the idea. In only 14 more years (1976) there were 4 billion humans, and by 1986 (only 10 more years) there were 5 billion.

    For some reason the latest estimates are that there are only 6 and one-half billion. After the rapid increases of the last 150 years I don%26#039;t know why that would be true, although millions have died in wars and drought.

    But even if you take man out of the equation, global climate change is something Mother Nature does on her own. The last 11 thousand years (since the end of the last ice age) where man evolved the global lifestyle we have in 2008 have been abnormally stable.

    There was a period called the %26#039;Little Ice Age%26#039; where the Earth cooled (1300%26#039;s to 1800%26#039;s I think), killing crops and disrupting life for many people, but other than that it has been a fairly stable period.

    But in the 600,000 years prior to it there were much hotter periods and much colder periods lasting 100%26#039;s, maybe 1,000%26#039;s of years at a time. That wide-ranging climate change is Mother Nature%26#039;s norm; and it%26#039;s likely she%26#039;ll get back to it. Man may push Her to the %26#039;tipping points%26#039; that cause it. Our sheer numbers and the quantity of our carbon pollutions are significant factors.

    The relatively short period of man%26#039;s increase from 1 billion to 6 and a half billion, and vaporization of mountains of coal and oceans of oil could be attention-getters. www.garyeandrews.com www.sustain360.org
  • My opinion is that no matter what we do (drive hybrid cars, use energy saving light bulbs, or recycle our waste) our species is headed for extinction.
  • Global warming is a bunch of fake crap made up by fat old Al gore. Duh people don%26#039;t you have a mind. AL GORE WANTS ATTENTION!! And so does the media, that is how they make money!!!! And the glaciers ARE NOT MELTING you idiots!!!!!!!!! They are growing at a rate larger than the world has ever seen LOOK IT UP!!!! Al gore and the news made it all up. 4/5 of the worlds enviromenatlist don%26#039;t belive in global warming!! So Al gore talks about how we need to stop %26quot;global warming%26quot; and hten he flys off in his private jet haha and i almost forgot he also goes in his 10 million dollar mantsion with all the electricity hmmmmmmmmmmm.
  • Put in your paper that if Al Gore Can Fly around on Private jets. The Kennedy family and many Hollywood liberals do.
    Since these people are the ones that claim to care the most.
    Then they should set the biggest example.
    The fact that they set such a poor example tells the rest of us that one, global warming is a hoax or two the ones that claim to care the most really don%26#039;t.
  • Global warming -- a gradual increase in planet-wide temperatures -- is now well documented and accepted by scientists as fact. A panel convened by the U.S National Research Council, the nation%26#039;s premier science policy body, in June 2006 voiced a %26quot;high level of confidence%26quot; that Earth is the hottest it has been in at least 400 years, and possibly even the last 2,000 years. Studies indicate that the average global surface temperature has increased by approximately 0.5-1.0°F (0.3-0.6°C) over the last century. This is the largest increase in surface temperature in the last 1,000 years and scientists are predicting an even greater increase over this century. This warming is largely attributed to the increase of greenhouse gases (primarily carbon dioxide and methane) in the Earth%26#039;s upper atmosphere caused by human burning of fossil fuels, industrial, farming, and deforestation activities.

    Average global temperatures may increase by 1.4-5.8ºC (that%26#039;s 2.5 - 10.4º F) by the end of the 21st century. Although the numbers sound small, they can trigger significant changes in climate. (The difference between global temperatures during an Ice Age and an ice-free period is only about 5ºC.) Besides resulting in more hot days, many scientists believe an increase in temperatures may lead to changes in precipitation and weather patterns. Warmer ocean water may result in more intense and frequent tropical storms and hurricanes. Sea levels are also expected to increase by 0.09 - 0.88 m. in the next century, mainly from melting glaciers and expanding seawater . Global warming may also affect wildlife and species that cannot survive in warmer environments may become extinct. Finally, human health is also at stake, as global warming may result in the spreading of certain diseases such as malaria, the flooding of major cities, a greater risk of heat stroke for individuals, and poor air quality.
