third draft esp!

EQ- If we continue to live the way we do now will Global Warming make the world unsustainable for humans?

THESIS-Yes, it will make it unsustainable for humans, but as a world we can stop global warming.

INTRO- Today Global Warming is affecting our world in a big way, and people are starting to recognize it more and more. This issue is affecting how long we all live on earth, and people continue to wonder if we can stop it or not. I do believe that we can stop global warming there are some things that would be an easy change in our lifestyle and some things that might be more difficult, However it is certainly possible to stop this phenomenon, the only question is if people will particitpate and make it happen.

MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-Mass transit numbers are on a constant rise, Car pooling
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot
C-If business would lower their budgets then less of the forest and nature would be harmed in the process and the pollution in the air of trucks and machinery affecting global warming
D-(posssible) .The world oil consumption dropped slightly in the 1970s and then again a little more in the 1980s since then it has only increased.However if we have been able to bring the consumption down before, even if un-intentional, why can't we do it now? With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.
-The world will become unsustainable our current population is over 6.6 billion people, that means more and more pollution produced by each person more energy wasted and more oil consumed.

CONNECTIONS
-Because human population is on a constant rise, and we have reached about 6.6Billion people on our earth, there is a need for transportation for them. However recently mass transit numbers have risen and so have car sharing/pooling numbers.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...

OPV
-We have already done so much damage to the earth there is no way that we can save it
-A few people driving hybrid cars won’t make a difference

first draft esp

EQ- If we continue the way we live now, will the world be sustainable for humans for our future family?

THESIS-We can change the direction of our world if if we make big changes in our lifestyle.


MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-World hunger is already a huge issue in our world and in years to come it can only get worse, if we change the portions some people eat in countries like the US, and we give more to places where starvation is an issue, less and less people would die of starvation each year.
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot
C-If business would lower their budgets then less of the forest and nature would be harmed in the process and the pollution in the air of trucks and machinery affecting global warming
D-(posssible) .The world oil consumption dropped slightly in the 1970s and then again a little more in the 1980s since then it has only increased.However if we have been able to bring the consumption down before, even if un-intentional, why can't we do it now? With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.

CONNECTIONS
-When the world didn't hold 6.6 billion human beings, which wasn't very long ago there were more food and resources to go around. Now because of the constant baby boom, and the selfishness of others there is less and less to share with the more unfortunate.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...

OPV
(get resources of opposing viewpoints in class) many don't think we can stop where we are headed at this point at turn around.
