Introduction: The topic of climate change is a complicated one. The majority of scientists and
researchers agree that we have a global problem that could have existential implications.
However, not all world leaders agree that humans have a significant impact on the climate, how
to fix the problem (for those that agree that there is one), or whether it’s even possible for us to
reverse climate change. However, there is one thing that just about all leaders are keenly
interested in, the world economy as well as their own. Therefore, making an argument for
investments in climate change related infrastructure overhaul initiatives requires a different
strategy and additional research. To convince all world leaders to act in unison, we must be able
to clearly identify the economic benefits of investing in carbon-neutral energy sources such as
nuclear, solar, and/or wind, innovate carbon extraction solutions, and prove that the failure to do
so on a global scale will have economic consequences that far outweigh the initial infrastructure
investments carbon-neutral energy will require.However, it's also important to identify that
specific ethical dilemmas such as what to do with existing oil companies and the lower barrier to
entry coal burning and fossil fuels provides to developing countries versus investing in
renewable energy. Additionally, there’s are growing movements against the individual liberties
of global citizens such as those who consume animal products. Ultimately, a complicated
problem might have a simple solution, which is to focus on the economy.
Thesis Statement: To convince all world leaders to act in unison, we must be able to clearly
identify the economic benefits of investing in carbon-neutral energy sources such as nuclear,
solar, and/or wind and prove that the failure to do so on a global scale will have economic
