Introduction Quotation about problem: Climate change experts and world leaders have identified use of fossil fuels as the key driver to global warming. Extreme weather and global warming has led to destructions including hitting vulnerable countries. “The leaders thanked Pacific negotiators for their “heroic effort” at Cop26 to secure a path away from coal and fossil fuel subsidies in the final deal.”( Harvey, Carrington, & Brooks , 2021) Paraphrase about problem: Fossil fuel release large amount of carbon dioxide , a green house gas. Green house gas trap heat in the atmosphere which cause global warming( Harvey, Carrington, & Brooks , 2021).Climate expert and global leaders are coming with ways that will control global warming by replacing fossil fuels. . Claim Topic sentence Human activities are contributing more extreme climate events like heat waves which are increasing every day and are happening and becoming more intense.Among of the events that have been observed by NASA is the devastating flooding in Australia and California`s massive Dixie. Quotation or Paraphrase from source that gives an overview of the Climate change problem: Satellite data from NASA and other global institutions have observed that human activities are the cause of extreme events that are taking place today. “According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there were 22 separate weather and climate-related disasters last year where the overall damages/costs for each reached or exceeded $1 billion”( Buis, 2021) Quotation or Paraphrase -one solution to the problem There’s growing evidence that people and the planet are increasingly impacted by extreme events. The best solution to these problems is to come up with ways that control or reduce human activies like wild fires, heat waves and intense precipitation( Buis, 2021) Ill. Solution #1 to the Climate change...
