My name is Ibrahim.In this blog I am responding to an assignment in my ENG 101 composition class on climate change. In this assignment,I was told to explain the science of climate change to an outsider reader who knows nothing about the topic, using two essays from the book Global Warming Reader by Bill McKibben.
According to facts and evidence from the book Global Warming Reader,it can be said that the temperature on earth is slowly increasing thus making it hard for us humans to live in because the rising of temperature can lead to insufficient food & the rise of water level which can also turn in to natural disasters.
On page 76 of the chapter The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change,the International Panel on Climate Change a.k.a (IPPC) states that "Human activities are modifying the concentration of the atmospheric constituents that absorb or scatter radiant energy". Meaning,due to us humans activity, the earths natural course of depleting carbon dioxide and keeping itself balanced has been unorganized.
Also,on page 70 of the chapter The "Anthropocene", Paul J. Crutzen & Eugene F. Stoermer explains "In a few generations ,mankind is exhausting the fossil fuels that were generated over several hundred million years.Coal burning and oil burning is at least two times larger than the sum of all natural emissions". By reading these evidence, i think people aren't really paying much attention to their environment. Or else why would they choose to hurt their world just to kill themselves. Changing our way just a little can do so much to our earth and i think its time we all learn that.
