 * Jack and Jill (Example) || **Jill and I believe that we humans can affect climate change!** Back in the day, we only had to go up the hill 1 time a day to fetch a pail of water. Because of the increase of CO2 emmisions by 50% in the last 100 years, mostly from the factories and emissions from the internal combustion engine (cars, busses, trains, etc). and the 45 gallons of methane gas each cow is belching up, every day, the Earth is warming up! Now, since the amount of rain has decreased near our hill by 50% in the last 100 years and the groundwater in the well has been dropping by 5 meters every year for the last 10 years, we have to go to the hill twice a day to fetch a pail of water and we need a longer rope to get the bucket all the way down to the water in the well. - Jack ||

 * __We definitely believe us humans cause climate change!__** Because it is scientifically proven that climate is changing. Human uses such as fridges are bad because there is carbon monoxide in there, fossil fuels also causes carbon monoxide, which causes the heat from the sun to be trapped on Earth. This causes the Earth to heat up, and water sea level rises because glaciers melt which causes human/animal life to be endangered. However, it is said that carbon monoxide is not too harmful; it increases plant growth which increases oxygen. ||
 * Michelle, Liliana, Tracy || WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE CAUSING THE CLIMATE TO CHANGE! We have found evidence that supports this such as graphs and information on the temperature changes in the past couple of years. The temperatures seem to be rapidly rising and it is not because we cause global warming which then cause the Earth to heat. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, we have been polluting the Earth with many things especially from factories, cars, and other things that release gases. Also, cities are starting to flood because of the rising of the sea level along with the glaciers that are falling apart,but there are other good points in the con section of this argument such as the scientists making it seem like a bigger problem that it really is and how the government is probably just controling everything saying that this is really happening so people can go green and save money on electricity, etc. These points are good but it is every obviously that we contribute to the harm of our planet! ||

Take a Stand

The three of us stand on the pros side on climate change. Scientists’ researches on effects of climate change shows that industrialization affects climate change. Burning of fossil fuels in factories emits C02 out in the air and gets trap when hits the atmosphere. ||

Global warming is here, its human caused, and it will continue for centuries. The global warming observed over the past 50 years is due primarily to human actions like burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and clearing of forests, agricultural practices, transportation, and other activities. It is very likely that hot extremes, heat waves, and heavy rains will continue to become more frequent. Humans are influencing climate through increasing greenhouse emissions. Climate conditions in the past provide evidence that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are associated with rising global temperatures. According to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) statement, global average surface temperatures increased on average by about 0.6C over the period of 1956-2006. As of 2006, eleven of the previous twelve years were warmer than any other since 1850. The observed rapid retreat of the Artic sea ice is expected to continue and lead to the disappearance of summertime ice within this century. There is now convincing evidence that since the industrial revolution, human activities resulting in increased concentration of greenhouse gases have become a major cause of climate change. ||

 * Carlos, Rashid, Sami || The climate controversy debate has been one of the world’s most popular arguments; both sides have their strong and weak points, such as the earth is naturally cooling down or human activity is affecting the earth’s cycle. On the other hand we would have to disagree with the idea that the earth is naturally cooling down. Piers Corbyn has said that while more carbon monoxide has been exposed to the earth’s atmosphere the temperature has actually gone done rather than up, but Mr. Corbyn hasn’t really backed this up with any data to help support his side of the argument. That is why we believe that the earth’s climate is being affected by CO2. On supporting fact that we have is the incident we had with the O-zone layer. People around the world agreed that we had to work together to fix this global issue. Another fact we have is the heat wave that hit Europe. Earlier in the year we did a project in which we saw how past climate records showed that the temperature has been going up every year. This was not only in Spain but all of Europe. So if the earth is naturally cooling down then how is it possible that the earth is cooling down? All these naturally disasters are cause due to the fact of global warming and the exposure of carbon monoxide. ||
