Persuasive Paper Part 1: A Problem Exists
Introduction
Climate change has been a major topic in the United States and around the world in the
recent decades. This topic continues to be controversial, split into two major groups; those that
believe climate change is a serious problem that needs an immediate response and those that
think climate change is a hoax or not a serious issue. However, the truth is that climate change is
real and its impacts are evident in all spheres of human life. Most of the scientist believe that
climate change is real and a major problem. Various studies have also shown that climate change
is a major calamity in the present world and if not addressed, it would be catastrophic.
Greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon monoxide and methane and among other gases have
been attributed as a major cause of global warming. Various stakeholders such as the
government and various environmentalist groups have been making various efforts to device
major strategies for combating emissions in the US. One of the major sources of emissions in the
US is transportation. As thus, with the rise of technology, the emergence of hybrid cars has been
noted as a key strategy in combating climate change through offering tax credits for the purchase
of such cars (Diamond, 2009). In this regard, offering tax credits for the purchase of hybrid cars
would significantly contribute towards combating climate change. Hence, despite some of the
arguments against climate change, emission from vehicles is a major cause of death and diseases
in the US and as such, offering tax credits for buyers of hybrid cars would be a major step in
improving air quality.
History
Running Head: HYBRID CARS AND CLIMATE CHANGE

The history of the scientific unearthing of climate change started in the early 19th century
when natural shifts in paleoclimate and ice ages were initially alleged and the natural greenhouse
effect initially discovered. Around the late 19th century, scientists initially debated that human
emissions of greenhouse gases had the ability to change the climate. Since then, various concepts
on climate change have been advanced. However, the alerts on the warming impacts of CO2 gas
became largely substantial in the early 1990s. However, in the recent centuries, advancement in
technology especially computer models have allowed scientists to show the existence, causes,
and effects of climate change. Presently, the issue of climate change is central not only to
national debate within the US, but also the whole world (US EPA, 2017). The world has
experienced adverse weather changes in recent years due to climate change. The US has also
experienced unusually warm and cold temperatures in summers and winters respectively. The
rise in temperature, flooding and droughts have become more common in the US as a result of
global warming. Climate change is attributed largely to human activities. Since 1990, greenhouse
emissions in the US has increased by almost 4%. In 2015, 27% of greenhouse gas emissions
came from transportation, mainly the burning of fossil fuel for vehicles, trucks, planes, ships and
trains. Thus, there is an immediate need to combat the increasing greenhouse gas emissions in
the US. In this regard, greenhouse gases have various environmental, social and economic
problems that need to be addressed (US EPA, 2017).
Environmental Problem
Greenhouse gases such as CO2, nitrogen oxide, methane and sulfur hexafluoride and
among other gases have severe adverse effects on the natural environment. Greenhouse gas
emissions causes’ water, air, and soil pollution. These effects are dangerous for human, plant and
animal life on earth. Environmental degradation and pollution have various effects such as acid

rain, biodiversity loss, and ozone depletion and among other effects. Global warming has also
caused the increase...
