My name is Jian Li Zou and I’m from the Eng101 class. In this
blog I’m going to discuss about the climate change. According to the two essay “The
Scientific Consensus on Climate Change” by Naomi Oreskes and “The
Anthropogenic” by Paul and Eugene from the book “The
Global Warming reader” by Bill Mckibben, our climate is changing in many
negative ways such as temperature is higher and the sea level is rising too. In
addition, if we don’t stop the climate from going down, it will lead to many
problems; the cities that are on the low sea level will be flood.
In essay “The Anthropogenic” by Paul and
Eugene is mostly about the author is trying to give a lot of the evidence that
can prove mankind activity is causing the climate change. For instance, the
coal and oil burning are releasing more than 100 million of SO2 every year to
the atmosphere. Mankind is exhausting the fossil fuels after generations and
generations. In addition, people are releasing many toxic substances to the
environment, which can harm our own people and our environment. On the other
hand, the author also said that if we want to the climate we should “guide
mankind towards global, sustainable, and environmental management.
The second
essay “The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change” by Naomi
Oreskes is mainly about the scientist trying to let people know what is happing
to our climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is one of
the organizations that are trying to prove the climate change by send out
reports of the environment change date. Furthermore, the since 1993 scientist
were publishing more than 900articles about the climate change.
