The Argument
Climate change isn’t real because the earth has seasons in which the weather changes. It’s a natural occurrence. Not every place gets cold during the winter. The Amazon rainforest stays warm during January opposed to Alaska.[1] Plus, if it doesn’t get cold then how are the leaves and living things know that it’s about to be winter?
Counter arguments
People aren’t just concerned about day-to-day weather. Climate change consists of long-term average increase in temperatures. There are hot temperatures that have melted permafrost in the Arctic, causing animals like polar bears to migrate into human territories looking for food.[2]
Proponents
