Okay. so i asked this question in another category before. :P
Now im asking this here.

Please Help Me .
i need to write this essay as fast as possible.

All the points i got are here.
now i know most of u wont read the essay at all.
but please do help by telling me some points on 'Climate Changes Affecting Us'.

You can tell me what to re-write.
Please revise the essay if u can. please.

P.S. - this is NOT the actual essay. Its just an overview of all the points. i'm gonna arrange all these points in a proper essay afterwards.
Please do help.
Please.
Please.

Climate Changes Affecting Us


Scientists predict that the world's average temperatures will rise from between 1C and 5C in the next century as a result of damaging greenhouse gas emissions.

The prospect: more severe storms and floods, more droughts and more deserts.

Scientists say Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro has lost 85% of its ice cap over the past 100 years and Britain's chief scientific advisor David King says, "Africa is the most vulnerable continent to climate change".

Well, because of global warming the temperature is increasing which is causing Antarctica to melt which leads to sea levels rising about 100m. Even if Antarctica doesn't melt, water is expanding causing coastlines to flood. Eventually the earth will not have coastlines to flood because the land will be gone.

Our climate is warming, in large part due to human production of greenhouse gases, and as a consequence, the environment is changing. We are expecting and already seeing: sea levels rising, weather shifting, ice melting, wildlife migrating, rain and drought patterns changing. We fear: migration of diseases, battles over changing resources, and increases in weather-related calamities.

The imminent climate consequences of human actions will have a relatively small effect on U.S. residents.
It's ironic: We produce a disproportionate amount of greenhouse gases, but the bulk of negative impacts will fall on the developing world, where more people rely directly on natural resources for subsistence and income, where the physical infrastructure is often inadequate and thus unnecessarily at risk from phenomena such as hurricanes, and where many governments cannot afford protective measures. Our relative wealth also provides a bulwark, sometimes literally.

Our motivation to care about climate change is limited only by our capacity to care for others. Supposing, you're living in Michigan. Your weather might get a bit strange, but rising sea levels won't wash away your house. You probably aren't a farmer, so you won't have to worry about your crops. You'll still be able to buy food and pay for heat.

It is highly unlikely that in the future, polar bears would move to land in response to reduced sea ice, although a few might: it is far more likely that most bears would stay out on the sea ice that lies well offshore - as in the past, bears will die on the ice or at sea, leaving no evidence of their existence.


Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil, coal and gas, with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth's atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that stays trapped in the atmosphere causes the global temperature to increase. Globally, average temperatures are expected to increase between 1.5 to 6.1 degrees Celsius in the next hundred years.

Climate change will have significant impacts on the global temperature such as an increase in temperature, change in weather patterns and sea-level rise. Sea-level is expected to rise 95 cm by the year 2100, with large local differences due to tides, wind and atmospheric pressure patterns, changes in ocean circulation, vertical movements of continents etc; the most likely value is in the range from 38 to 55 cm. The relative change of sea and land is the main factor: some areas may experience sea level drop in cases where land is rising faster than sea level.
Indirect factors are generally listed as the main difficulties associated with sea-level rise.

Put some of this in your essay.

There are no experimental data to support the hypothesis that increases in human hydrocarbon use or in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are causing or can be expected to cause unfavorable changes in global temperatures, weather, or landscape. There is no reason to limit human production of CO2, CH4, and other minor greenhouse gases as has been proposed .

We also need not worry about environmental calamities even if the current natural warming trend continues. The Earth has been much warmer during the past 3,000 years without catastrophic effects. Warmer weather extends growing seasons and generally improves the habitability of colder regions.



As coal, oil, and natural gas are used to feed and lift from poverty vast numbers of people across the globe, more CO2 will be released into the atmosphere. This will help to maintain and improve the health, longevity, prosperity, and productivity of all people.



The United States and other countries need to produce more energy, not less. The most practical, economical, and environmentally sound methods available are hydrocarbon and nuclear technologies.



Human use of coal, oil, and natural gas has not harmfully warmed the Earth, and the extrapolation of current trends shows that it will not do so in the foreseeable future. The CO2 produced does, however, accelerate the growth rates of plants and also permits plants to grow in drier regions. Animal life, which depends upon plants, also flourishes, and the diversity of plant and animal life is increased.



Human activities are producing part of the rise in CO2 in the atmosphere. Mankind is moving the carbon in coal, oil, and natural gas from below ground to the atmosphere, where it is available for conversion into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of this CO2 increase. Our children will therefore enjoy an Earth with far more plant and animal life than that with which we now are blessed.

How Co2 really works



Well I have been looking for months for this core explanation of how Co2 works in the atmosphere. This is what I learned in school 50 years ago and why the current AGW hypotheses was so strange when proposed. Well it is strange all right because it is completely fictional, here is the true time tested way it really works! Read some of the reports covered on these links and you will know more than enough to reject most of the alarmist propaganda!

Co2 is not the cause of warming it is a side effect of warming caused by the suns warming the oceans and warmer water can hold less Co2 in solution. Because the bio fuel industry has cut down so much tropical forest to plant oil palms and sugar cane there is no longer enough forest left to bank the excess Co2 until the oceans cool enough to absorb it again.

A longer growing season so more food produced..
