I believe that climate change is a real issue today. There are numerous pieces of evidence and facts to support this statement. Since 1880, the annual temperature has been steadily rising. There are at least five different science agencies that concur with this statement including the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the NASA Goddard Institute for…

I think we can all agree that the topic of climate change is very controversial. I think we can all agree as well that the topic of climate change cannot easily come to a conclusion within just one letter. Even so, I hope through this letter I can convey my opinion but also that I…

Extinction of nationally loved species, evidently rising temperatures, increased air pollution, as the next generation to hold full accountability, is this it? Are we just taught to disregard the inevitable? Climate change is here, and with it has come larger changes to the planet than what many scientists have predicted previously.

The ever-growing effect of climate change can be reduced though, and even reversed over time, but serious improvements must be made to the way people live and the impact…

The average temperature on the surface of the planet has already increased by 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. This may not seem like much but think about it this way, the heat from human emissions is roughly equal to 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs exploding across the planet every single day (Gillis, 1). That is insane.…

Vo Nguyen Giap, an influential Vietnamese military and political leader said that: “The soldier comes to another front now, the environmental front … without environmental recovery, Vietnam cannot have economic recovery” (cited in Beresford & Fraser, 1992). Despite being ranked as the 32nd largest economy in the world in 2017 (World Bank, 2017), Vietnam is…

With the advent of urbanization, a lot of small cities are changing rapidly into big cities with a large density of population. Urbanization occurs mainly when rural people move to urban areas and hence, results in the growth of the size of the urban population. We can say that urbanization is a global trend which…

Over the past several decades, airplane travel has been discussed in the scientific community and the media as a contributing factor to climate change, but there is a lot of disagreement about the claim’s validity and the contributing factors. Climate change is defined as the “periodic modification of Earth’s climate … [because of] changes in…
