INSTRUCTIONS



(TOPIC STATEMENTS)

You are to write a
minimum
of a 5-page persuasive paper
for the United Nations council


that addresses the following questions
about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security
in the developing world: DO NOT INCLUDE THE ACTUAL QUESTION IN YOUR PAPER:
SIMPLY INCLUDE A SHORT TOPIC LABEL (see #7 under Guidelines)

1. 
   Climate change and global warming are often used
   
   interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the
   
   differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion
   
   between them?
   
   




2. 
   In 1900, the average global temperature was about 13.7°
   
   Celsius (56.7° Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but as of 2020, the temperature
   
   has risen another 1.2°C to 14.9°C (58.9°F). According to the Earth and
   
   climate science community, if the Earth’s surface temperature rises
   
   another 2°C (3.6°F), we will suffer catastrophic weather patterns that,
   
   among other things, will raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and
   
   wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce
   
   agricultural productivity throughout the world (Mastroianni, 2015 and
   
   Lindsey & Dahlman, 2020). How much credibility do you place in
   
   these projections? Why?
   
   




3. 
   
   There is no question that the Earth’s food sources are
   
   threatened by changes in its weather patterns, but what specific
   
   challenges does climate change pose to the food security of people in the
   
   developing world?
   
   




4. 
   There is currently a debate among some multinational
   
   lending agencies like the International Monetary Fund, UNICEF, and AID
   
   over the financial support for food security has been misused by recipient
   
   government officials. On the other hand, U.S. authorities insist that
   
   misuse of its assistance is not occurring because it has strict monitoring
   
   oversight in place.
   What is your position on this matter? Is there
   
   evidence that financial assistance to developing governments is being widely
   
   misused by government officials?
