Climate Change
Climate Change is greatly affecting earth. Us humans are the main cause of it; Fossil Fuels, GreenHouse Gases, and the large amount of CO2 are being released into the planet everyday. I understand that those things are important and power many things. But I believe that if we are polluting the earth we should make up for it but saving water, using less electricity, giving back to the environment, and create new healthier ways to create energy. Humans are killing not only our own homes but the animals and plants that live in it with us.
In this website, https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/11/30 … resources/ with Bill Nye, Bill says “during the industrial revolution humans started burning large amounts of fossil fuel, now we rely on carbon based fuels. Humans produce about 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide. 55% of that is absorbed by the ocean, land and vegetation, while the rest remains in the atmosphere.” This means we need to do whatever we can to help prevent crazy weather changes in the future. We need to reduce the use of power plants and factories. If we continue down this path, the next generation will have twice the issues to solve.
The https://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/index.html site states, “People are adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. All the extra carbon dioxide is trapping more heat in the atmosphere, making the earth warming and causing other climate changing too. Giant ice sheets are melting and the ocean is rising. Flowers are blooming earlier and snow is melting sooner and birds aren't flying as far south for the winter.” This means that if the planet keeps getting warming we are gonna get more floods, storms, drought and heat waves. This could put so many ecosystems in danger.
I agree. So the climate change is impacting to our real lives and will become more serious in the future. We need to prepare solutions not to make the problem bigger and more impacting. There are 4 ways for climate changes, reducing emissions, fighting misinformation, stopping deforestation, and preparing for impacts.
First of all, people must significantly reduce the heat-trapping emissions we are putting into the atmosphere. As individuals, people can help by taking action to reduce our personal carbon emissions. But to fully address the threat of global warming, We must demand action from our elected leaders. Secondly, Media pundits, partisan think tanks, and special interest groups raise doubts about the truth of global warming. This barrage of misinformation misleads and confuses the public — and makes it more difficult to implement effective solutions. Thirdly, Tropical deforestation accounts for about 10 percent of the world’s heat-trapping emissions. Reducing tropical deforestation can significantly lower global warming emissions and plays an integral role in a comprehensive long-term solution to global warming. Lastly, certain consequences of global warming are now inevitable, including sea level rise, more frequent and severe heat waves, and growing wildfire risks. Even as we work to reduce global warming emissions, we must also prepare for this dangerous new reality.
