We live in a dystopian world with more flaws than perfection. We face problems that come in varied sizes; from everyday colds and fevers to world's poverty population. Although there are many issues, one of the biggest and widest known problem is climate change. Climate change is another way of saying Global Warming. Global warming is the increase in the Earth's surface's temperature. In the past 10000 years the global temperature has stayed fairly stable and varied only about +/- 1 degrees Celsius. Comparison to that, the global temperature has rises about 0.8 degrees Celsius just in the last 50-100 years. A recent study has shown that even if we stop our carbon emissions tomorrow we are most probably going to have more then a 2 degrees rise on the Earth's surfaces. In addition to all this bad news, if we keep on using up the carbon that we dig up as we do today, before this century ends, the world's temperature will rise about 6 degrees celsius. If there is a 4 degrees rise by it self, it would be "Hell on Earth" as David Roberts puts it. If there is an 6 degrees rise it would be too hot for humans to live. This does not mean that it will be too hot that you have to use more air conditioning, this will mean that if you go outside, you will die of heat. Even though there is no hope to suddenly stop this problem, we can work together as an community to at least make the global temperature stable again. I believe that the only way to do this is to do simple things by our selves and to raise awareness in our own way.
One of the ways that we could stop this huge problem is by taking physical action as an individual. Instead of using extra gasses and other things that could affect the environment, we can reduce our carbon footprints and make a healthier world. One thing that we can take physical action we can stop global warming is to use cars like hybrids. I say this because if we use cars that uses no carbon dioxide we can reduce the amount of Greenhouse gasses that is released into our world. Another thing we can do for the environment is to encourage to plant more trees. We can go into volunteer work and we can start planting as many trees as possible. Instead of cutting down the trees, we can grow them because trees and plants are the ones which absorbs carbon dioxide and replaces it with oxygen. If we can all do these small little things we can contribute greatly so that we can have a better society.
Another way is to inform others in the community about this problem and what they could do. If we can educate each other about problems that we are facing, we will become a better community and we will be able to cooperate better. One example of why I say this because just like the millennium goals. The millennium goals will be impossible to occur if we don't work together as a community but because people are starting to come together to aid this problem we are finally going to be able to achieve something that we all want in the society. Another example would be the acts of independence in different countries. We can learn from our past as well. When community comes together to help a certain cause it will contribute greatly in the common goal all of them are trying to achieve. If we all cared and knew about Global Warming and what we could do, we will be able to eliminate this problem and face other problems to make this world a more pleasant place.
Final way in our power to slow down this problem so that, the future generations that are to come can survive, we have to be able to unite with people in the community and together we must make the carbon producers more socially responsible. I say this because when Global Warming started was when these companies started to dig up all the carbon out of the Earth and throwing it all up into our atmosphere. This resulted in more greenhouse gasses, the very thing that we were trying to avoid. If we can make them stop we will be able to keep this Earth a clean environment. Another thing we can do to stop these producers is to unite against them. We can boycott their products so that they will stop digging up so much carbon and all the toxic gasses that could destroy our way of lives. If we can all contribute just a bit then we will be able to live better lives and we will be able let the generations to come live rather than burn to death.
The future seems to be very glum and dull. If we continue to do what we are doing today, the unthinkable will occur and this would surely end human civilization and all life on Earth. The only way to sustain our beautiful world and its life, we will have to take action and work together as one. Countries all over the world will have to come in terms and make something happen. In oder to do such a huge thing, we must first take actions by our selves. We have to raise awareness in our own individual way; some people who have a higher media power, like celebrities, should give a shout out to this problem. If we all work together at this cause we will be able to sustain our environment and let the future generations live.
