Short Research Report Will Hassenger Effective Writing Professor Trupe Climate Change There are many things that affect us as human beings in today’s world. From social issues to physical planetary issues. One of these things that is happening whether we wish it to or not is Climate Change. The primary issue with society is climate change because no matter what social issue or conflict unearths, we still have limited time on this planet due to our own actions. According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), Earth’s average temperature has risen 1.5 degrees F in the past century and is projected to rise another 0.5-8.6 degrees in the next hundred years alone. Why is that? Because of the way humans carry out daily behavior. We are contributing to the slow destruction of the planet in which we inhabit. We are certain of this because there have been more natural disasters in the last decade across the world then there has been in this century. In the theory that the Earth’s core temperature is rising by the century, we can attribute that to the rapid rise of greenhouse gasses and its effect on the Earth’s ozone layer. As this is happening, the atmosphere that protects us against the suns harsh rays and other hazards that may affect us, is slowly deteriorating causing the Earth to slowly be increasingly vulnerable to the sun. Greenhouse gasses are commonly caused by pollution created by humans and man-made machines such as factories, cars, and other things that release powerful pollutants. There are scientists, politicians, and some celebrities out there trying to raise awareness to this issue. One of those people is Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo is a huge actor that has tons of public attention. As well as action Leo has his own foundation dedicated to preserving this Earth. It is called the Leonardo DiCaprio foundation; whose mission is to preserve the long-term health and well-being of all the Earth’s inhabitants. President Obama is also a strong advocate for the safety of the planet. He has signed countless execute orders to help prevent further damage to the Earth. As well as climate change effecting human beings it also takes its toll on various ecosystems that are key in keeping balance on the planet. More species of animals each year are being labeled extinct due to polar ice caps melting, drought, and natural disaster. For example, tigers are on the endangered species list and are close to extinction because of humans. Hunting, poaching, and deforesting has landed these creatures on that list. Without tigers the whole ecosystem in which they inhabit is thrown into turmoil. The effects of the tiger being endangered is that other animals in which the tiger feed on will become over-populated and drain the environment in which they inhabit. Many of the things we do as humans can influence the environment, small or large. Because of us, only we as people can help the planet we call home. Lowering pollution levels, cracking down on illegal poaching, and being more resourceful with our resources can go a long way and lengthen our time here on this planet. Even though it doesn’t affect our generation as a whole, it can strengthen our planet for future generations to come. Bibliography 1. Climate Change Indicators: Ecosystems. (n.d.).
