Climate Change. Is it really the biggest issue? Abigail Diaz, Marisol Barrera, Humberto Romo, Noel Candelaria

What is climate change? Climate change occurs when ⅔ of ultra violet lights are held in the earth's albedo which is beneficial for the earth since its what keeps the climate consistent but if the earth’s atmosphere continues on thickening due to the increase of greenhouse gases which compose the atmosphere so it traps excessive ultraviolet lights which causes less to escape as infra red lights ultimately causes the overheating of earth Albedo is the proportion of the incident light or radiation that is reflected by a surface, typically that of a planet or moon.

Skeptic vs. Alarmist In the world of the importance of climate change, there are two polar opposite sides to the argument. Each side has its own wide range of knowledge that is claimed to support different reasons for the amount of warming that will happen. The skeptics believe that climate change is a natural occurrence. Because of this, skeptics have not come up with a solution. The Alarmists believe that climate change is caused by humans as well as greenhouse gases. Alarmists’ solutions include reduction, in large amounts, of Carbon Dioxide by restricting certain human activities.

What side are we on? We are skeptic. We believe there is enough evidence to prove that climate change is happening naturally. Although there is also enough evidence to support the alarmists’ side, we believe skeptics are more reasonable.

The Earth is currently warming up from the interglacial period and Co2 emissions have been increasing since the start of the interglacial period. Meaning that the co2 emissions are not corresponding to human cause.

Co2 has little to nothing to do with the sea level rising Co2 is often the target to climate change and that is not simply the case. In terms of the sea level rising alarmist often claim it has to do with high Co2 levels but in real terms Co2 has no direct correlation with the sea level rising the sea level has been rising before the 1800s but co2 emissions have just been increasing since 1995 proving that there is no correlation between the two

Earth's climate oscillation isn't consistent Earth's climate has always warmed and cooled. According to a 2010 study in the Chinese Science Bulletin, the recent global warming period of the 20th century is the result of a natural 21-year temperature oscillation, and will give way to a "new cool period in the 2030s." This shows that Earth's temperatures’ pattern aren't consistent and therefore the climate won't be neither

Too much or too little Earth's greenhouse is actually pretty healthy in terms of living conditions. For example, planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere mostly made of carbon dioxide.Mars shows no signs of life because there's very little atmospheric pressure and little to no methane or water vapor to reinfirce the weak greenhouse effect. As a result, Mars’ surface is a dozen sheet.

Conclusion There are many misunderstandings and tons of confusion over the real issue surrounding climate change. As you all saw, we don’t believe that climate change is the most important environmental issue. That leaves the question: What is the most important environmental issue? If you look at the extensive list of issues, one major one that can help minimize the rest is education. Ill draw that out for y’all.
