742 Words3 Pages

Government agencies are changing rapidly since the inauguration of Donald Trump. However, the changes he is making to them is turning climate change into a much harder problem to deal with. Some legislation that was implemented prior to Trump’s leadership, did the exact opposite. Many of the agencies also gave scientific proof that climate change was affecting the Earth. Donald Trump should review his decisions and change them for the better of the world.
A reduction in the use of fossil fuels and an increase in the use of renewable energy could be a major step towards less greenhouse gas emissions. Advocates of fossil fuels could argue for the use of oil, that it is the best resource. Michael Kraft, a professor emeritus of political science …show more content…

Some people might believe that weather is always changing and climate change has nothing to do with it. In his article, “Yes: Harvey shows climate change is real,” Wayne Madsen explained that, “The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has counted an average of five named Atlantic storms each year from 1995 to 2012, an increase from years past.” The increase in the number of named storms per year paints the picture that weather is changing at an accelerated rate. These are also named storms which means they are large enough to destroy cities and towns. One result of these storms includes floods, which is worsened by the combining effect of climate change and larger …show more content…

Donald Trump among other Trump supporters argue that climate change does not exist and is a hoax created by the Chinese. James Hansen, a former NASA scientist, stated that,” Eventually, I resigned as principal investigator on our Venus experiment because a planet changing before our eyes is more interesting and important. It's changes will affect all of humanity.” He gave up his career at NASA so he could fight a problem that no one believed in. Some would say being a NASA scientist is ten times cooler than working on climate change. Our planet could also become like Venus, very hot and filled with carbon if people continuously disbelieve in climate change. If the world changes to that extent, life might cease to exist as well as many other

Hi Classmate, To be honest with you, after reading this article and the other so far in this class, this presidential administration has really touched a nerve. I think our policymakers have set out to confuse the public and it has become a battle over climate science. Through this battle, Scientists and journalists have decided to go straight to the public, whereas before they would go straight to the politicians in a straighter formal format. Justin Gillis's article in the New York Times, “Climate Change Is Complex. We’ve Got Answers to Your Questions” is an example of striving to create a simplified way of explaining global climate change to the public, because the science community is having to climb over mountains that President Trump and his administration have created.

This is another example of doublethink that could be related and connected to 1984, where doublethink was common. At most, President Trump is the main contributor to showing doublethink in everyday life. He does not realize the nature of Scott Pruitt’s previous occupation, that being an attacker on supporting Obama’s efforts to reducing global warming. President Trump, “[Deliberately] [tells] lies while genuinely believing in them, [he] forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, [he] draw[s] it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed,” in which many people still demur to believe that President Trump does this very often only to manipulate the people (Orwell

Bush made CO2 emission levels and climate change a talking point in many of his speeches. Bush assured the public that he was invested in enhancing the state of environmental affairs, and stated that, if elected, he would implement regulations that would reduce CO2 emissions. However, after he was elected, Bush changed his position. Kolbert writes, “Explaining his reversal, Bush asserted that he no longer thought CO2 limits were justified, owing to the ‘state of scientific knowledge of the causes of, and solutions to global climate change,’ which he labeled ‘incomplete’”

We see the evidence every day, for example the unpredictable weather patterns like milder winters, severe snow storms, the polar vortex, torrential rains, severe droughts, hotter than normal summers, an increase in tropical storms, and the rising sea levels. Also, the glaciers and polar ice caps are melting at an increased rate. Policymakers were given summary reports that were completed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I (Solomon, et al., 2007). These reports have supporting evidence that climate change is very real and affecting all

In the editorial, “Climate Shifts Aren’t Limited to the Weather” by Thomas Friedman, explains the change in “climate” of globalization, technology, and our environment. He believes that the government should help the people, but Donald Trump doesn’t have a clue as to why. He states that, “in the past you could fix any climate/environmental problem later or now. But today is officially over” (Friedman). The climate and environmental problems are becoming more dangerous to the people if not taken serious soon.

It's sad that society can not trust their own politicians to be upfront about issues like climate change, but that is the reality we face. Instead, we have to hear the truth from entertainers like Jimmy Kimmel and Bill Nye to weed through the excessive tales of deceit for us. Additionally, NASA is backing them up. It seems they may be the only government agency that doesn't f**k with our intelligence. JIMMY KIMMEL GETS REAL ON CLIMATE CHANGE

When it comes to the topic of Climate change in the presidential campaign, most of us will agree that the Republicans need to concentrate on climate change and give it top most priority since climate change is indeed one of the leading concerns in world economics and politics today. The latest results from the UTA Energy Poll show that more than three out of every four Americans think climate change is occurring (Poll: 76…). In a recent poll, it was found that 59% of Republicans changed their views regarding climate change which is up from the previous poll of 47% (Davenport). Whereas most Republicans are convinced that the issue of climate change should be a priority for all the government in the USA, there are still a few Republican presidential

Four out of ten people don’t believe in climate change, while the others aren’t really doing much about it (Why People Don’t Believe in Climate Science Video). Just because you don’t believe in something, doesn’t automatically make you right. There is an agreement by scientist the climate change is happening, 97% of scientists agree (Why People Don’t Believe in Climate Science Video). There is evidence that humans are causing it, and if we don’t change our energy policy, stop drilling for oil, and fix factory farming the Earth will continue to warm and it will continue to cause trouble for us. Climate change is happening and we are causing it.

There is the loss of land, the loss of glacier, and the loss of the food change because of this. Yes our planet goes through these changes once every thousands of year, but never in the lifetime of our planet has it happened at such velocity as it is now. Our planet we affect everyday but the vehicles we drive and the things we produce, but now it's time we reconsider this and come up with better ideas. Our President, Republican, doesn’t see the world coming to an end because of climate change, he thinks with time this will adjust itself. If that were the case many would not be as concerned as they are today.

Glaciers and ice caps are melting increasing sea levels, destroying ecosystems and organisms’ habitats. These are irreversible damages that are being caused by the change in climate. However, there are people who believe that climate change is not a severe issue. People like author, Andrew Freedman argue that climate change is not as dangerous as once thought. The Global Warming article “New Research Suggests That Global Warming Will Still Be Dangerous, Though Not Extremely So” states that studies show that climate change is at manageable level.

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.
