You can then use google to find out some of the effects and expand on them, stick to be sure to include both beneficial as well as harmful effects in the essay and try to avoid blogs as they tend to be run by climate change deniers who are either extreme free marketeers or conspiracy theorists.
Quotes by Sagebrush (a self proclaimed Christian and ardent AGW denier) :
"Execute all those who voted for OBAMA"
"Hire the handicapped, they are fun to watch!"
Naturally you will hear a lot of clamor from both directions. One has to be the truth and one has to be false. Which one is it? It might be hard to tell since liars use coordinated tactics which make it seem that the lie is the truth. Liars have made a living and confused many people over generations. Let us look at one professional liar and what he has to say. Joseph Goebbel, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
So you can see that the lie, if orchestrated enough, can seem to be the truth. However, in a scientific world the truth will eventually come out when there is enough scrutiny. Conversely, in a political world the truth may never come out until it is too late, such as in Germany's case under Hitler. So politically, to find the truth, one must find the roots of an idea. Whether an idea is based in fact or manipulative propaganda. Let us explore what the environmentalists, or greenies, have to say on this subject since it is well known that emotions sometimes are stronger than logic in the outcome of thought.
Quotes by H.L. Mencken, famous columnist: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed ― and hence clamorous to be led to safety ― by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." And, "The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it."
Notice the 'endless series of hobgoblins'. Back in the 1960s and 1970s we were told that an imminent Ice Age would be upon us if we didn't control our CO2. Thus it became apparent that we should submit to laws governing this on a global level and individual state's sovereignty would necessarily have to become secondary.
Life magazine of January 3, 1970, stated: “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support . . . predictions” such as: “In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution,” and “increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will affect earth’s temperature, leading to mass flooding or a new ice age.”
H-m-m. That doesn't seem like what we hear today. And when it was scientifically proven that the earth was going through a warming trend, coming out of a Mini-Ice Age starting at around 1650 the environmentalists quickly did an about face and started a Global Warming campaign. And the cause, why CO2 naturally. It didn't make any scientific sense that CO2 could be the cause of Global Warming and an Ice Age but that didn't stop our modern day Goebbels. Immediately, they started to push for strict law and tax enactment so as to control the world and eventually wound up with Kyoto, which is nothing more than a tax collecting method based upon CO2 output and usage.
Absolutely nothing to save the world and, in fact, it presently provides funds for party time for the elites of the world. Notice, "Such support shall not be subject to measurement, reporting and verification." They can do anything they want with money given to them and no power on earth can make them accountable for it. Wow! What a deal.
Now comes the caveat that maybe the earth would sometime cool, then what. So the UN quickly came up with Climate Change and left no definition for it. The formed the UN-IPCC and now we are all subservient to an undefined Climate Change. So now we give our unaccountable money to an undefined bogey-man. Don't you just see an inkling of a scam here?
Scientifically, the earth has been cooling for the last decade plus and yet the CO2 level has increased. So than anyone with half a brain can figure out that CO2 is not causing an increase in temperature. That is why COP states: Page 29, (q)
"Any lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason to postpone or scale down action on adaptation];"
So as far as your question, Climate Change caused by man is not a scientific fact but is a political scam to tax and dominate.
Global Warming - why am I so Cold - this is a con
You can talk about how exaggerated the predicted catastrophic effects are. I would mention that the vast majority of CO2 production occurs naturally. Additional CO2 in the atmosphere should increase temperatures but by how much is unknown. If you are 14 years old you must have been born in 1998 or 1999. You could talk about how the average global temperature hasn't risen significantly during that time.

I'm so so sorry for such a dumb question!
But I really need help :(
I absolutely SUCK at writing essays and I was wondering if someone could help me. Please :)
My topic question is: what are the effects of global warming on the environment?
I'm only 14 so please don't put heaps of scientific words in... I will re write it don't worry, I just kinda need a template for it and I will write the rest by myself :)
Please and thank you! :)
