Question: Climate change is the most important issue facing the world today. Do you agree or

disagree with this statement?

Nowadays, humans are ever experiencing serious impacts of a changing climate. In my opinion, I

completely agree with the idea that climate change is threatening humans health and nature throughout

the world.

On the one hand, some people argue that changing in climate is not real. They claim that all predictions of

climate change are based on computer models, not historical data. It means that the long term predictions

are meaningless. Furthermore, a few scientists even complain that any rise in global temperature could be

a natural climate displacement. The truthful warming of temperature is something they say they can

record, but the records is drawn from finding what forecasts the rise in temperature and consequences of

atmospheric gases on the Earths environment (Climate Etc., 2015).

Humans health is put at risk because of climate changing. In recent years, there have been newer reports

of the spread of major tropical diseases with changing climate, such as Ebola, Zika, Dengue. As the earth

becomes warmer, more and more people are likely to be affected by these kinds of diseases. In addition,

harsh droughts destroy plants, which wildlife base on for food and shelter, and take away wildlife of

water sources. Droughts result in by climate change dried up 90 percent of central U.S. wetlands, remove

breeding habitat for ducks, geese and other migratory species. Moreover, sea level rise and change in

salinity kill forests, leaving many fish, shellfish, and other without a home to breed, feed or raise

offspring (Libertywildlife, 2015).

In conclusion, I am firmly convinced that climate change represents a major threat to life on Earth.

Although a few do not acknowledge severe influences of climate change, it is not deniable that the

changing in climate is continuously affecting peoples lives in terms of individuals health and natural

environment.
