Argumentative Essay: Climate Change In The United States

Climate change seems to be a source of debate that has been going on for some time now. Climate change is real and there’s scientific data out to prove it. There are many studies that prove climate is changing. Climate change is a natural process on earth, but studies have proven that humans have dramatically accelerated that process. Sea levels have risen, the days are getting warmer, we have more intense hurricanes and we are losing species due to these drastic changes. Yes, we have all this information, but somehow people still think it is fake. The majority of the US citizens believes climate change is a natural process and humankind has nothing to do with it. People who believe in this gets influenced by others. We all have idols that

They have twitter, Instagram and Facebook, where they can share and express their ideas. They have a vast amount of followers that cheer and support them every time they make public appearances. The public support their ideas because they sometimes love them and they must be right. Climate change is a topic that’s almost always discussed in the debates that are televised. I know from what I have seen, heard and read in articles that Republicans are less likely to believe that climate change is influenced by humans. For example, one of our current presidential candidates Ted Cruz, who claims “the satellite data demonstrates that there has been no significant warming whatsoever for 17 years” and very recently he said “what’s climate change.” He said the satellites demonstrates no significant warming when we have reliable scientific data that demonstrates that climate indeed has increased in the last 17 years. So he is basically spreading false information that can be picked up by the public and now the public might believe he is right. Ted Cruz is not the only politician who doesn’t believe in climate change. Donald Trump, who is very controversial once tweeted, “Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!” In response to the chilly weather he was obviously making fun of the people who believe in climate change. This is just one of his tweets, but he’s most controversial tweet about climate change was, “any and all weather events are used by the GLOBAL WARMING HOAXTERS to justify higher taxes to save our planet! They don’t believe it $$$!” Why would a scientist lie about climate change they wouldn’t benefit the only ones who would benefit is the fossil fuel industry. Presidential candidates aren’t scientist they shouldn’t come to their own conclusion with zero data supporting them. Again Donald Trump needs to check the data we have
