Task 2 (Global Warming )

The global warming is a huge issue, an issue which most of us do not know much about, yet it will be in the near future a matter concerned with the survival of the human race, if not all the living organisms on our planet. The definition of the global warming is quite complicated since it requires significant knowledge about the atmosphere of the earth and how carbon dioxide, which is the gas, produced from the burning of natural fuels, interacts with the gases that create the earth’s atmosphere. This interaction resulted in a hole in the atmosphere from which ultraviolet rays from the sun can enter the earth. Those rays are thought of as being harmful and carry heat along their traveling paths. Therefore, icebergs from the north and South Pole are melting down at a tremendous speed, causing an imbalance in the temperatures of our planet. In my perspective, global warming is more devastating than World War I and World War II. The damage that can be caused by this phenomenon is enormous, reaching to unimaginable levels and consequences we cannot bare or withstand. To put it in simple words, global warming can wipe out the humans and any other living beings dwelling on the surface of our beloved, injured planet. However, it’s not the damage that we are suffering from now that can be fatal to our race; it’s the escalating damage because of the combined ignorance and irresponsibility of the humans. In their nature, human beings do not care about things that don’t affect them instantly. They keep their worries on leashes until they suffer the consequences and only then do they let their worries loose and put the effort, long due, to fix the problem. Unfortunately, in the case of global warming, this will be the case and we would not stop abusing our plant until we feel the heat of the fire burning our skin, even though we knew it existed long time ago and still didn’t try to put it down. Fixing the problem is possible. The development of electric cars and the efficient harvesting of the sun’s energy can alone solve half of the problem. More individual and tangible solutions that can be offered e.g. stopping smoking, or purchasing environment-friendly vehicles. These are small and affordable solutions that can be implemented for a healthier, safer planet.
