Jacob Keirns Persuasive Paper Miss Beverly March 22, 2016 Global Warming â€Å"Some men aren t looking for anything logical, like money. They can t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.† -Christopher Nolan The late nineteenth century was a time of immense discovery, particularly in the world of science. First theorized in the 1890s, the idea of global warming has been around for just over 100 years, despite it’s relatively recent gain in traction. However, despite irrefutable evidence displayed over the last 40 years, many still consider the idea a farce. The melting of the icecaps, the decline in air quality, as well as the the rising of the sea-level, temperature, and allergen-count†¦show more content†¦This idea of the carbon dioxide emissions warming up the atmosphere proves that though the earth does indeed run on cycles, it is not the cycles that are causing increased temperatures, but rather excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Global warming has also played an active role in the health problems that affect the population. Global warming naysayers persist that the health issues that come with global warming are non-existent. The burning of fossil fuels, sunli ght, warm air, and pollution from power plants combine to create ground level smog. Warmer temperatures and higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere stimulates some plants to grow faster and produce more potent allergens. Chronic allergy problems rank among the most common illnesses that lower productivity . This in turn creates poor air quality and has an adverse effect on the population with breathing disorders(climatehotmap.org) . The warmer temperatures have created milder winters. This has caused an increase in the insect population. The recent increase in the spread of new and existing diseases can be attributed to the insect population, particularly mosquitoes. The increase in the global temperatures has increased the insect population, creating more carriers of disease. (climatehotmap.org) The increase of diseases and health problems proves
