Climate Change is Happening

Introduction
The talk about climate change has been around for many years, and some
people see it as something the government is making up and others as something that
is destroying Earth, but most of the information given by both sides has their perks and
flaws. Most of the information given seems to point out that climate change is real, and
its slowly having an impact on Earth that we are starting to see. The information was
given by the climate change believers basically talks about how climate change is
affecting Earth, and the ice, and why climate change is occurring. Also, the way the
shell is trying to gather oil from the Arctic ocean, which could potentially cause an oil
spill that could destroy most of the ecosystem there(The Guardian). Another thing is
the ice glaciers melting and causing the Sea level to rise(NASA). Zachariah, one of the
biggest ice glacier located in Greenland, is currently melting at an alarming rate, that
should impact Earth within the next decade(NASA). The Ocean is becoming warmer,
and this is causing the glacier to melt from below(NASA). Another thing would be that
the ocean is getting warmer because of the pollution caused by the oils spills, the oil
collecting machines used in the ocean, and the fish and animals that migrate to different
parts of the ocean. Most of the fish are cold blooded and some mammals that live in the
ocean are warm blooded, and this changes the oceans weather when the animals
migrate to different parts of the ocean(UOW). With all these claims the people that dont
believe climate change is impacting the Earth they state that majority of the scientist
now-a-days dont even believe in this because of the increase of polar bears.(JOA &
Express) This would mean that the ice isnt melting because polar bears arent dying

due to the increase in ice. The study that states that about 98% of scientists are
misinterpreted because most of the scientists did not complete about 77 scientist
actually completed the survey(JOA). This would mean that the information is false. Ice
melting isnt really happening, and instead its increasing and the pollution isnt that bad
anymore. It has decreased, and carbon dioxide is not affecting the
atmosphere(Express), yet carbon dioxide is the cause of greenhouse gases that are
destroying the atmosphere(EPA). This proves that climate change is happening, and the
people of the world needk to act before things began to get worse.
