Introduction
For the first time, a specie, [b]humans have the future of the planet into their hands [/b].
We are living in a complex world, a world that existed before us, and should exist after us.
We are the most intelligent specie of all time. We create cities, cinema, computing, lots of unnecessary goods …we create chemicals from raw material.
We have done so much during last decades that sometimes we ask ourselves if it’s real or not. But it is true that we did not think about the consequences of our choice, about the consequences of the so call “progress”.
Asbestos is a good exemple. If at first it sounds really interesting, we now know that it is really harmful for humans. We could say the same about genetically modified food, developped in order to improve crops, we don’t think about the consequences.
The human species produce so much that there are environmental issues.
The human body along with different species, animal and vegetal seems to be suffering from human action. The number of extinct species have sky rocketed and it will continue if nothing is done. Americans and Canadians scientists have recently explained that almost all of the fishes’ and crustacean’s species that we fish for consumption will extinct from the ocean before 2050 if currents trends continue.
Global warming is the reason why our species is endangered along with others. But as we will see, we are responsible for global warming.
Our standard of living, such has having car, living at night with lights… is responsible for mass toxic gases released. There is toxic waste everywhere, and the only thing we can do about it is to bury them in the ground. Indeed, our way of life requires huge consumption of raw material like fossil fuel, wood … and because of our lack of awareness, we waste a lot.
There are consequences to that:
• Deforestation as long with toxic emanations disrupts wildlife.
• Release of toxic gases is the reason why green effect is so important. The ozone layer is falling apart, because of that global warming is more important. We can see with our own eyes the rising sea levels due to glacier meltdown. Shores are different from before. Earthquakes, storms come from global warming, meaning that global warming have already killed millions and millions human lives throughout the world.
What should we do about it?
It is easy and difficult at the same time. We all know that exhaust fumes are harmful, so we could stop using oil for our car, house central heating … But we still have to find energy. Nuclear is one of them, but there is radioactive fallout, and it seems like there is nothing to do about it nowadays.
But, we are in a situation where difficulties are not an excuse anymore. Yes, there will be some cost to make if we want a future. Sustainability is not an easy thing, it need efforts and sacrifices.
But when we think about what we have done, we should be able to stop producing and selling disposable goods, or at least make sure they are biodegradable.
We daresay we can already do that. We already know how to make thing better, but we’re not doing it. The problem is elsewhere, can we change our way of thinking? Forget about profit?
Forget about what we learned?
Yes, we have designed high tech apparatus, we have developed complex system, but in the end it’s like we were unable to change our way of life even when self-preservation is at stake. Animal can do that, and yet we, the smartest species of all time, fail to do that.
What is global warming?
Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades.
The prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities".
The increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary causes of the human’s warming activities.
An increase in global temperatures can cause changes like a rising sea level.
These changes may increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as floods, heat waves, hurricanes, and tornados.
The term "global warming" is a specific case of the more general term "climate change" .In principle, "global warming" is neutral as to the causes, but in common usage, "global warming" generally implies a human influence.
The detailed causes of this change remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus identifies greenhouse gases as the primary cause of the recent warming.
Various alternative hypotheses have been proposed to explain all or part of the observed increase in global temperatures, including but not limited to:
• The warming is the consequence of natural variation.
• The warming is a consequence of the end of a former cool period — the Little Ice Age.
• The warming is primarily a result of variances in solar irradiance, possibly via modulation of cloud cover
• The warming actually reflects the urbanization as more and more populated areas are expanding with growing population.
The predicted effects of global warming are many and various, both for the environment and for human life. These effects include sea level rise, impacts on agriculture, reductions in the ozone layer, increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, and the spread of disease. In some cases, the effects may already be manifest, although it is difficult to attribute specific natural phenomena to long-term global warming. In particular, the relationship between global warming and hurricanes is still being debated.
