Informative Essay: Global Warming And Climate Change
National leaders, like Donald Trump, don’t initially see the drastic importance of this issue and surpass it as a hoax further establishing its impact and severity as well as outlying the negligence of our superiors and their restricted actions in finding a resolution. In an article released after the inauguration ceremony that took place this year it was stated that, “The Trump Administration has erased the climate and energy webpages distributed by former president barack Obama. The program replacing climate change initiatives, visualizes a country that taps into U.S fossil fuel supply, yet does not display any sort of view on the increasing climate change issues as well as mentions no such addresses to its solution” (Kahn). In the past

It decreases the rate of deaths caused by extreme cold weather conditions initially lowering medical costs for the elderly who aren’t prone to withstand freezing conditions. More people prefer warmer climates, as it increases CO2 levels, impacting agriculture with its production of plants. It also makes agriculture possible in cold regions as well as shipping through trade and higher altitude fishing likelier in once unreachable places. Brian Kahn, a Science writer at Climate Central, although believes Global warming has negative impacts made an interesting point in his recent research: The Arctic Circle has been witnessing record breaking temperatures that have limited the amount of ice growth in its supposedly cool regions. The warmer climate has resulted in such a widespread decrease of ice levels that in this past August 2016, the Northwest Passage opened allowing a cruise ship to pass through. Global Warming and the rising of Earth’s surface temperatures is a beneficial factor if areas around the world that are known for sustaining freezing conditions begin experiencing warm spells that challenge yet enable their new normality and opportunities. Professor Richard Tol of Sussex University made an argument where he claimed that, “ The cold, not the heat, is the biggest killer. For the last decade, Brits have been dying from the cold at the average rate of 29,000 excess deaths each winter. Compare this to the heatwave ten years ago, which claimed 15,000 lives in France and just 2,000 in Britain”(Ridley). In the same argument he also added that, “There are many likely effects of climate change: positive and negative, economic and ecological, humanitarian and financial. And if you aggregate them all, the overall effect is positive today and likely to stay positive until around 2080(Ridley).
