Introduction (addressing the topic to be discussed and/or the problem to be solved)
Climate change is a global problem that will affect all people on Earth. Although its effects are not visible when looking at your backyard, scientific evidence about the larger implications of climate change points to massive degradation of natural systems. A study funded by the World Bank estimates that hundreds of millions of people will be displaced due to the environmental impact of global climate change. The study identified 3 developing regions of the world that would be most affected by climate change: Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. Global climate change will affect livelihoods, especially those who belong to vulnerable geographic locations such as coastlines. International organizations such as the World Meteorological Organization have reported that more extreme weather patterns will cause severe floods and drought in the future. (Cho,2019) Global cultural modes of consumption must change if we want to create a better future for the younger generations.
People need to organize to create awareness about the unavoidable so that government and citizens can work together to create the right policies and enact the various movements to establish resiliency for Climate Change Impact. (Ciadini, 2003). Many scientific kinds of research have been done to evaluate the magnitude by which human activity has altered natural environmental systems. Overall, the different signs of progress and milestones for human society have created benefits and damages for different fields. Although the industrial revolution has allowed for urban development to occur, it has caused much destruction to the areas where natural and raw material is being extracted. Society’s demand for more energy, more materials, and more demand from agriculture have drastically altered the natural cycles in the world’s climate. Society should prepare for the inevitable changes that Climate change would bring. Technology is bringing more ways of sustainability and efficiency to the mainstream. Even with the initial damage caused by modern industries, technology can be redesigned to be energy efficient, and help create equipment that can “Clean” the world. 
Opposing position (showing that you understand your opposition’s viewpoints/goals)
Human Activities have caused widespread and intense damage to the different levels of the biosphere. Most of the warming of the climate is attributed to human activities that have drastically increased the amounts of carbon dioxide and other heat-retaining gasses into the atmosphere. Since the urban settings around the world have a high energy demand, large corporations have created a supply of power by extracting fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas from the planet. These acts have devastated the face of nature; as more industrial activities crave more profit through the harvesting of earth’s natural resources in unsustainable ways. Due to human industries, forests and other natural areas have been converted into agricultural land and habitat for humans, which has decreased the population and diversity of life, bot...
