Climate Change

The crisis of climate change is no longer a far-off threat. It is here, testing whether our societies will choose survival over convenience. Human beings should really start considering the harms of climate change.

In this essay, I will first introduce the problems of climate change and global warming. Then, I will explain why this is important.

The first and most pressing issue is the problem of rising temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the United Nations, Earth is now about 1.44 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1850s-1900s pre-industrial baseline. A few degrees may seem harmless, but crops die and carbon dioxide gathers in the atmosphere at these higher levels.

Second, the sea level is rising, and the ice sheets also have a problem .Global average sea levels have risen 20 to 24 cm since the last century. Similarly,ice sheets above the ocean have lost hundreds of gigatons of mass annually over the last two decades.

But why climate change is so harmful to Earth?

First, climate change leads to diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the rapidly melting ice is going to release ancient diseases that are over 750,000 years old. These diseases are highly dangerous and contagious . In addition, research show that between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year from under nutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress alone.

Second, climate change damages ecosystems and leads to species extinction. According to the UCAR Center for Science Education, warmer ocean waters force out the algae that corals need to live on. Higher land temperatures force animals to migrate, and species that can’t adapt fast enough face local or global extinction.

We are at a start of a massive extinction. We must act now to save our planet, before the damage is impossible to fix. Before Earth turns into a permanently silent, concrete desert.

Climate Change : A Damaged World

On the day August 3,2111, a girl named Jane was playing in her yard when she saw something hazardous. She was just playing in her yard when she heard something peculiar.

Boom! She saw a tiny transparent ball of water, just visible on the horizon, rapidly growing bigger.

“ Hurricane! Flood!” People of her neighborhood were streaming down the street, panicking as if there was a war going on . The only difference is that the enemy of the war is unbeatable.
