1. Does it Really Matter? An Original Power Point Presentation by, Sumaali Chheda & Alyssa Cowles Sumaali Chheda & Alyssa Cowles

2. Claim: Hundreds of millions of years ago, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and temperatures were much higher than they are today. Changes in carbon dioxide levels and temperatures are natural occurrences and should not be blamed on humans.

3. Conclusion: Humans are accountable for carbon dioxide emissions—even if it may be a comparatively minimal amount. Every ton of carbon dioxide counts, and any reduction helps. Therefore, we are responsible for the temperature increase, and it is our job to impede any further global warming as much as we can.

9. The Point… Even if you are a skeptic, there’s no denying that the carbon emission levels, and for that matter, the temperature as well, is increasing—whether humans are the cause or not. The simple, harsh fact is, even if this carbon increase isn’t of anthropogenic origin, it is happening, and it’s affecting our climate every day. The natural disasters, the flooding, the droughts, the storms, they’re all just going to intensify. And, we must do everything in our power to try and stop, if not reverse, the process.
