Because I have heard many different opinions about climate change from different sources‚ I have definitely been confused and had a hard time understanding it. Many media sources have different opinions and ideas about climate change‚ it is a bit confusing to know which ones are reliable.

These titles lead us to false conclusions about climate change even if the article has correct information in it

Another key sociological approach to climate change is the conflict theory. To acknowledge this point‚ one needs to understand the economic concept of profit-maximization and cost-minimization. People naturally tend to act in their self-interest and that often results in clashes between one another. For instance‚ Should we close down a potable water factory because it is spilling its wastes in a nearby lake? Here is where the sociological perspectives come into place.

blocks for a future legal treaty to address climate change amid concerns that commitments to avert acceptable level of global warming remain missing. Negotiators from 194 countries agreed on a set of decision that the un climate secretariat said would set all governments “more firmly on the path towards the low emissions future” and provide support to developing countries on their action on climate change.

caused on climate change as been discussed over years without answer as to say if the gradual warming of the earth is a natural process or if human activity has added to the acceleration of climate change or is the key behind it. Evidence of this is the hockey stick debt as temperature rise rapidly once humans became developed. One thing we do know is that there are many natural events that possibly could accelerate global warming but also many human factors to. Thus making climate change hard to
