Write an argumentive essay on whether should Canada develop a more aggressive target for the 2020 meeting of the UNFCCC?

Research Question: Should Canada develop a more aggressive target for the 2020 meeting of the UNFCCC?

Climate change has rapidly started to spread around the world and now, we feel it at our doorsteps. Our everyday life is slowly being affected by climate change, whether in terms of our transportation, drastic change of weather, or through effecting our economy. Our economy is very dependent on fossil fuel, which contradicts our bigger goal, which is to reduce our emissions and switch to different sources of energy, like wind or solar systems. Some of the causes of this are pollution and people not caring for the environment such as idling. The rest of the blame falls on the government for their lack of action and dedication.

Thesis
My thesis will be based on the argument that Canada definitely needs to peruse an aggressive climate plan in order to not only meet the UNFCCC targets, but to slowly transition its energy and transportation from fossil to other sources. It will be crucial for Canada to be able to efficiently transition from fossil fuel to finding a more suitable and environmental friendly energy source. In my essay I will discuss why Canada needs to set a more aggressive goal in UNFCCC and make up for pulling out of the Kyoto protocol, removing the necessity to have an economy based on fossil, so we can ensure a better future for all the future generation in Canada.
