Since global warming appeared during the last decade as a serious environmental issue, it has been the subject of a lot of debate. Global warming is defined as the warming of the earth by greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. But there are many questions about global warming, from its causes to its effects. Many people even question whether or not global warming exists. And if global warming does exist, people question why it exists. Well, there are two different viewpoints.
The believers in global warming think that the increased temperature proves that global warming exists, and that it’s a significant problem that should not be taken lightly. Skeptics of global warming believe that the increased temperature is a natural phenomenon, and that if global warming does exist, it’s not something to be worried about. There are many arguments for and against the existence of global warming, but contrary to what some believe, global warming does indeed exist and there is a valid scientific data to prove that. -NOW HERE THE PROBLEM STARTS !!!!!! ) Skeptics say that any temperature changes the Earth is experiencing are cyclical and a natural event. Climate has always changed due to natural cycles without any help from people. (i need to write here more) Believers say that if global warming would be natural climate change, the change would not be happening as it is happening currently, and they are right. A temperature rise as fast as the one we have seen over the last thirty years has never happened before. During the past 10,000 years the earth has been in an
Example 2: The Cluster Format| ? Introduce the topic and state or explain the question. ? Start the first section of the body with your statement of claim or position. ? In this format, you begin by stating and supporting your points. Use one paragraph to state each of your points, following your statement with the evidence that proves or supports your point. ? Follow each point with an opposing view related to that point and evidence that supports the objection. Use one paragraph for each counter point and its evidence. After you have finished presenting all points, counter points and evidence, start the second section of the body with your rebuttals to each of the counter points. ? Back your rebuttals with evidence and logic that shows why the objections are invalid. If the opposing view is valid, acknowledge it as so but use your evidence to show that it’s somehow unattractive and that your position is the more desirable of the two. ? Use one paragraph to rebut each counter claim. ? The conclusion of this format is a restatement of your claim, a summary of supporting information and an assessment of rebuttals. I. Introduction (Claim and counter claim statement) II. Body Part I ??? Presenting the Case A. Statement of the claim B. First point and supporting information C.

Third point opposition and refuting evidence III. Body Part II??? Author’s rebuttal A. First point rebuttal B. Second point rebuttal C. Third point rebuttal IV Conclusion | HUMAN ACTIVITIES CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING
What Human Activities Contribute to Climate Change? The burning of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as deforestation and various agricultural and industrial practices, are altering the composition of the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. These human activities have led to increased atmospheric concentrations of a number of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and ozone in the lower part of the atmosphere.
