How to write a good argumentative essay?

What are some good current events that I could write about for my argumentative essay?

• I've been trying to find some current events to write my argumentative paper about. If any of you know any good topics, and I'm not talking about the typical gay marriage or abortion. Please! thanks :)

• Answer:

  There are millions of topics you can pick from but it's hard to say without understanding how deep you want to go. One that you could examine is the increasing amount of tornadoes that are being experienced and link this to how the environment is feeling the impact of bad decision making by the human population, choosing carbon fossil fuels over greener energy and also increase in livestock. Did you know that cattle rearing creates MORE C02 then all of the cars, busses, planes etc. in the world combined? No? Shows you how powerful the meat industry is in keeping this one quiet... Do issues like the birther issue help or harm the US political system? Hope this helped!
