I am doing a persuasive paper for my english class. The topic has to be related to the enviroment worldwide (I would mostly like to do the topic on something related to Global Warming). I've come up with some ideas like:
*US and Kyoto Protocol
*Hybrid Cars
*Recycling
*Solar Power
and other things like that. I want something more interesting though, and I just can't think of anything. could anyone help me with this?

DEFORESTATION CAN IT BE STOPPED,GLOBAL WARMING ,DESERTIFICATION,SOME SOLUTIONS AND A SOURCE OF REFERENCE
(this is limited to effects of people in the country,industrial effects on the environment and the internal combustion engine as well as the over all effects of cities ,is another storey)


DEFORESTATION

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years
the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.
TV put out a series of documentaries
there are campaigns in the News papers
and all of this has not made the slightest difference

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

the jungle gets smaller by the day
more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees
it is an impossible situation
as long as there is poverty in these regions the destruction will continue


POLITICS
ecologists and scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.

ON THE GROUND
go to the countries on the equator ,check what has happened in history
and listen to what is going on in the many disaster areas on this planet today,(and there are more than ever each year )
: i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,

i live now by the side of a river in Mexico where,in 30 years 5 species of fish have become exstinct .
and part of the year the river is dry this is for longer every year because of over use of water by agriculture and as a result of deforrestation.

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification


in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use

Well what's your thesis? What are you persuading hte reader into believing? Are you persuading them that worldwide warming is an excessively damaging and severe factor that's presently going down, or persuading them that worldwide warming isn't a truly crisis, and that it's honestly simply made up? If you're going with thesis quantity one million, then your suggestions must core round proving that worldwide warming is a significant epidemic and furnish factors as to why. So well suggestions would be.. one million) Weather styles and storms around the globe had been out of manipulate extra so than they had been a long time earlier than. Then state why this can be a predicament (extra usual destruction is occuring, this endangers the lives of people in every single place the arena) two) Polar ice caps are melting at an alarming cost. Why is that this unhealthy? Our give of clean water will finally dwindle if the ice caps soften away for well. Also, the melting ice caps will relatively carry the earth's water stages. This won't look like a significant deal, however within the occasion of usual screw ups, this will have a significant poor affect, principally on locations all over the world which can be placed close our bodies of water, or which can be at a curb altitude. This additionally signifies that plenty of animals like polar bears will die off quicker on the grounds that their habitat is being destroyed. three) Our climate itself has been fluctuating greater than it more commonly might. Such as having unusual quantities of snow while the elements might more commonly be hot, displaying how so much hotter our summers and winters have come to be. This is a significant intent for crisis, on the grounds that if temperatures are fitting hotter and hotter, this may increasingly imply that detailed animals might not be in a position to outlive of their fashioned climates, or theirsource of meals will die out. You want proof to those matters as good, which simply manner you must appear up climate styles and appear up knowledge on worldwide warming and ice caps and stuff like that.

If you are writing a "persuasive paper" can you appeal to logic rather than emotion and belief?

Since you are writing for an English class, fight the tendency to skimp on scientific info and suffuse your essay with emotional, persuasive rhetoric. Since you are writing for an English class, DO, however, follow standards for grammar, style and spelllllllinggggggg. At the end of your essay you can make a list of your references.

Research nuclear fusion and helium 3 for main solution and solar activity for main cause.

Global warming is a complex issue.

Reading the popular media can lead a person to conclude that "global warming" is:
o- either a hoax to promote business opportunities, politicians agenda and scientists grant money.....
OR
o- a problem related to overpopulation, industrialization and fossil fuels whose solution options lie in solar power, wind power, geothermal power and nuclear fusion....

However, the correct answer may be altogether different:

NASA has released never-before-seen images that show the sun's magnetic field is much more turbulent and dynamic than previously known. The international spacecraft Hinode, formerly known as Solar B, took the images. Hinode was launched Sept. 23 to study the sun's magnetic field and its explosive energy. National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientists said the spacecraft's uninterrupted high-resolution observations of the sun are expected to have an impact on solar physics comparable to the Hubble Space Telescope's impact on astronomy. "For the first time, we are now able to make out tiny granules of hot gas that rise and fall in the sun's magnetized atmosphere," said Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophyics Division. "These images will open a new era of study on some of the sun's processes that effect Earth, astronauts, orbiting satellites and the solar system." Hinode is a collaborative mission led by
the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and includes the European Space Agency and Britain's Particle Physics Astronomy Research
Council. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., managed the development of the Hinode's scientific instrumentation provided by industry and federal agencies.

>>> as regards alternative energy methods, I favor development of the technology for nuclear fusion using lunar Helium 3

Explore these questions:

How did we get out of the last ice age?

Who is causing the global warming happening on the Moon and Mars (other planets too)? Has GM opened an SUV dealership in Cydonia?

Why does the present level of warming cause panic when it is known that the Medieval Warm Period (+/-800 years ago) was warmer yet by three to six degrees C?

I had an English professor some years ago prove to me that in writing a persuasive paper, it is better to write about something of which you have factual knowledge, not a collection of opinions. Write about something of which you have first-hand knowledge. If it interests you, it will likely interest others, and persuasion is much easier.

Um how about Rain Forest Conservation? The rain forest is a pretty interesting topic and a home to many different organisms. plus we get many natural resources and products from there.
