Directions
Choose
one of the topics below. Brainstorm and plan your argument, two or three
main supporting ideas, and write. This essay should be at least 600 words.
Remember
the parts of a strong argumentative essay: a short intro that presents the
issue and segues into an explicit thesis, several separate body paragraphs,
each with a topic sentence/supporting claim, and a brief conclusion leaving
the reader with a closing thought or two. Of course, refer frequently—via
summaries, paraphrases, and limited direct quotation —to Climate Casino and The Shock Doctrine, as well as other course texts, if possible.
The
last ten to fifteen minutes should be devoted to carefully proofreading. Good
luck!

2. What are the biggest risks associated with climate change, and how can people minimize those risks?
3. Who and/or what is really causing climate change, and who should lead the response?
