Can you tell me if this sounds good?

Question

This is what is required in the essay...

WRITE A 5 PARAPGRAPH ESSAY explaining the interconnections of climate change.

- in what ways does climate change affect different locations differently

- how can climate change effects in one location have an impact on people or places far away.

- how and why are low income populations affected by climate change to a greater degree than high income populations

- what is one strategy for people to adopt to and or prevent climate change.

This is my essay...

People frequently ask what climate change is and how it affects different species on earth. 'Climate change is a change in weather patterns of an area for a long period of time.' Climate change can be around for many reasons. One of those reasons is that it can be caused when people make certain changes in land or the atmosphere. Climate change affects everything differently and at different times. But climate change can not only be bad, it can also be beneficial for some poeple.

Every place is affected differently by climate change. Even if the climate changes by 1 degree F, places such as the North and South Pole would rise in 13 degrees F. Another reason that climate change affects every place differently is because climate change relocates rain. So, due to climate change in certain places there would be more droughts unline in other places there would be floods. But a good thing about this is that since rain is relocated, places where there used to be droughts, there would be rain.

Climate change in one place can even affect another place. If one place has a drought, another place would be affected by having floods. Thousands of people would be affected by these drastic changes. If there is a drought near a farm, that would mean that the people relying on the farm would recieve very little or no food. Another example is that if the Artic Ice Caps were to melt, then ocean sea levels would rise. One of many results of that would be that millions of people living near the Artic would have to be relocated. If they don't they might be killed or severly hurt.

Low income populations are affected by climate change to a greater degree than high income populations, because lots of places that don't have a lot of money may not be able to replace for the damage. Either that or they might not be able to recieve that much money for the damage. High income populations would have a greater advantage towards repairing the damages. That would also mean that since the low income populations may not be able to replace for the damges, the houses would have to be the start and the finish to where the people would be able to replace.

Answer 1

You correctly remark that changes in temperature are likely to be greatest at the poles. That is important, but you failed to mention why it is.

Most people will say that at the poles we can stand to have the temperature rise a lot more than at the equator. So your observation leaves the conclusion that this is all for the good. Is it?

It may not be the equatorial zones that will be hurt, because the equatorial zones are not our hottest areas on earth. Our great hot desert areas are our hottest areas.

Will we expect to see the size of our hot deserts increase?

Your observation about displaced rainfall is partly correct, partly wrong. Rising global temperatures does not displace rain only from one place to another, but, more significantly it means that rains will be torrential at one TIME and then dry for a long TIME.  Nobody gains by having all the rain they get in  a decade dumped on them in one glorious storm, even if they have been suffering drought for 10 years.

Great torrential rains largely run off to the oceans, leaving little behind but the damage.

The effect of melting ice caps are not particularly harmful to people living near the poles. Those disruptions are all over the earth.

Quite the contrary of what you suggest, warm climates close to the poles may provide an era of greatly improved weather, vegetation growing and feeding millions. If anything, the droughts and floods in the middle lattitudes will disrupt our lives.

We do not refer to this as mere global warming but as climate change for a major reason you fail to touch on. Global warming will result in far more hours of clear sky round the world. That clear sky will allow the seas to warm up significantly over 200 to 400 years. At the end of that time, the oceans will be warm enough to support creation of a major ice age. an ice age that could obliterate life above the 45th parallel.

Such ice ages have occurred before, and to get a really major ice age we have to get the oceans warmed enough to cause evaporation of those trillions of tons of sea water to make the glaciers.

Answer 2

Paragraph 2 - unline???

Paragraph 3 - recieve? Also, when the ARCTIC ice melts, sea level cannot rise. Fill a glass with water and add ice 'till it's over the rim. Now clean up the outside and wait. The ice will melt, but NOT overflow the glass because the ice takes up more volume than water. Your science teacher should be able to explain this to you. IF he's honest.

Paragraph 4 is just wrong. Rich people live on shorelines and hillsides, where climate can destroy their homes. Poor people don't have that much to lose, and they live in more stable, less interesting areas. High income people are insulated by their money. That's their only advantage.
