children to have good health and a great future because they want to clean up the gas emissions from schools and other buildings full of kids. They want to help the economy in general too. Those are some reasons of how democrats believe climate change affects children’s health and futures.
The democratic platform states that climate change is a national security threat.
Military leaders recognize a threat of climate change. A threat to the military is that the economy already has “ unstable in some regions of the world”. Military leaders realize that they can be led by example and address if they actively push their goals. For instance, “America has had great challenges and climate change” should not be one of them (sec.1 par.
3.)
Democrats believe climate change interferes with the quality of the air. For instance republica view.org states, “Democrats not only believe in global warming, but Democratic beliefs on global warming include a belief that the U.S. should be actively trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels and develop clean energy initiatives” (sec 1. par 1). This shows that Democrats reduce the fuels making the U.S. a clean and better place to live. Democrats are determined to at least get 25% of people’s electricity from renewable sources. Democrats try to do a lot of actions to make climate change less harmful.
With climate changes come drastically high temperatures causing the polar ice caps and glaciers to melt. With the ice caps melting, it come with many repercussions. There are 2 major problems- sea level rise and ocean acidification. Sea level rising is massively affecting the rice crops in China, they are being flooded with salt water which destroys the crops. It is also mixing up stream in rivers contaminating aquifers and drinking water crippling villages ( Skeptical Science Sec. 6 Par. 6). Ocean acidification is another massive issue in result of climate change. In the article “positives and Negatives Of Global Warming” on skepticalscience.com they say that, “A cause for considerable concern, there appear to be no benefits to the change in pH of the oceans. This process is caused by additional CO2 being absorbed in the water, and may have severe destabilising effects on the entire oceanic food-chain.” showing that because of a few degrees difference it can mess up a whole system that we rely on massively, and other animals; causing a chain reaction.
Climate change is a real threat to our children, animals, and our own health. With C02 emissions from melting ice caps or sea level rising killing crops. From health issues and national security threats to air quality that may not be safe for us to inhale. We create more and more climate change damaging this earth. The democrats are the only ones who want to something about it. So why don't you?
