AIS4071 Movie Review- Climate of Doubt
Name: CHEN Haoyan, Riva
SID: 54042113
The documentary Climate of Doubt talked about whether climate change was a scientific truth, it provided many details about the denial of climate change, which I was not familiar with. Although majority of the scientists, precisely, 98% of the climate experts, believe that the major cause of climate change is human activities; there are plenty of people reckon that climate change is a kind of natural phenomenon. They also point out that global warming consensus is not based on science, but for the political purpose. From my perspective, the severity of climate change indeed can affect the decisions of policy-makers, such as green policy and governance. But it does not mean that people can just ignore the consequences of the enormous emission of greenhouse gases in the past few decades.

First of all, countries in Latin America and Africa tend to concern more about climate change issue than other regions. I have noticed that the majority of climate change skeptics mentioned in the documentary were from U.S.. But on the other part of the world, over 70% Latin Americans and 60% Africans realized that climate change was a severe problem, while there were only 45% Americans and 18% Chinese recognized the …show more content…

I agree, it is factual that we are facing severe environmental challenges. Even if the skeptics do not believe in the global warming, it is undeniable that the air and water pollution are caused by human activities. It is unhelpful to argue who is right, who gets more evidences or who eventually wins. If people just ignore the negative environmental impacts and do not implement any practical plans to deal with, our future generation will definitely suffer from

It is quite remarkable to read this quote especially exactly two decades from when David Suzuki’s novel The Sacred Balance was published. That over two decades there has not been any significant change in the way majority of people acknowledge that one of the major issue humans face is global warming. Even though relatively recently several countries did join the Paris climate agreement to confront climate change but it still does not help there is still a large amount of countries that will not contribute in reducing the effects of climate change. It does feel hopeless at times trying to get people to at least acknowledge climate change and there is not be a chance to change the path of our future right now because it would be too late. Too

The writer of the novel No Rain in the Amazon, Nikolas Kozloff, discusses how the global climate change greatly affects the Global South, countries such as Brazil and Peru, and indirectly affects the Global North, countries like the USA and Canada. Kozloff delves into problems individually through each chapter and relates these problems back to the fact that the Global North is indifferent to the problem because it does not directly affect them. In the introduction, Kozloff states that “the media is paying more attention to the phenomenon and the public is becoming more informed,” (1). Also Kozloff introduces that throughout his novel he “criticizes the Global North for ignoring climate change,” (4). Chapter one discusses the Global South’s growing frustration with the lack of action from the Global North.

Matt Ridley and National Geographic have posted articles in attempt to persuade their followers in their opinions of Global warming. Matt Ridley, a man well experienced in almost all forms of fuel, has found a plus to global warming. In his argument Why Climate Change is Good for the World, where he is trying to persuade and educate the people of the world who dislike global warming, he uses very persuasive writing techniques such as placing one of his good arguments first and his best argument last and sandwiching his important but not his best arguments in the middle. He uses popular symbols in his argument to get his audience to relate to his case. Lastly he criticizes the old thought of global warming with valid reason to persuade the audience but also acknowledges that even his argument has flaws by stating the flaws and allowing his audience to disagree.

I 'm not usually stunned by opinion regardless of how delusional the foundation of it is, but even the hardened polemist may wince at the vehement aimed at global warming skeptics / deniers. Debate is a wonderful thing if it is about interpretations surrounding water tight credible data; I crave for hard evidence - herewith, while seeking it the waters become murky and the rhetoric shifts onwards to comparisons you 'll never dream of... A war veteran 's letter illustrates this point with bells on. "Propaganda by global-warming skeptics and deniers remind me of 1944, when as an Army officer I saw living skeletons in striped pajamas. Horror stories about Nazi concentration camps suddenly rang true.

“Seeing” climate change in the film “Chasing Ice” through the story of glaciers is different than learning about climate change through a book or a news story. It is different because you can not only actually see the melting of the glaciers, but you can also see what happens above the Earth’s surface when below, the tectonic plates are

However, overconsumption is not the cause of environmental problems in our society. Issues like pollution and overpopulation are the biggest problems to our environment. And so the skeptics are wrong at the very core of their argument. And to further refute their claim, one day out of the entire year would not change our environmental status. If people want change, they should go out and be the change, not try to create an awareness day for a particular topic that will be taken advantage of or not cared for by many people.

Moreover, this is easily explainable without mentioning climate change. Why not say that the world traffic has soared in this region while it didn’t exist a few decades ago because the ice prevented it.

Climate Change is something that we have caused because of our choices to burn fossil fuels, at some point we have to face the problems that we have created. The consequences of Climate Change are horrific and Climate Change could end our existence as a species, most people do take action against Climate Change except, The Government of the United States of America, refuses to accept the serious dangers of climate change and continues releasing propaganda on Climate Change, claiming its effects are minimal and that we are not causing it. Peculiar how almost every other government in the world thinks otherwise. The reasons we are heading in the wrong direction is because the actions of humans are causing Climate Change, and almost all scientists agree on this matter. Another reason is the that the government isn’t trustworthy in what they say about Climate Change, meaning what they say about Climate Change is wrong, and we should change our policy on Climate Change.
