Is it too late to save our Planet?

Is it too late to save our planet?

Is it too late to save our planet? This question has struck in the minds of every single person who has looked at our planet and just wondered, is it too late to save our planet?  

In recent years, scientists have alarmed us with the dangers of climate change. The main cause of climate change is global warming, which has many negative consequences on physical, biological and human systems, as well as other effects. Climate change is playing a huge role in our life. It is hurting the animals and affecting everyone.

We are dead

It’s too late to save our planet. It’s too late to stop climate change from happening. According to Nasa, the Earth’s average global temperature has risen by 0.8 degrees Celsius or 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the thermometer readings have risen continuously. This is a huge problem which the earth is facing. We have done so much to cause climate change and we are doing so many things to harm our planet and we aren’t stopping. We are using so many car’s which pollute the environment. We are using an excess amount of non-renewable energy and we are not using energy smartly. For example, to wash one or two clothes we use the washing machine. That much energy to clean/wash two clothes is not worth it. One interesting thing which world economic forum brought out was that 2016 was the hottest year on record and the Arctic warmed much faster than predicted. This has happened in less than a generation. All of these reasons are showing that we are going to die soon, so please readers get ready to go to mars. 

 

Ehhh, we can survive

We can survive. Although there are hundreds of problems which are happening right now on our planet, we are still finding ways to survive and we are also doing small things to fix those mistakes or do other stuff to mitigate climate change. Schools, universities and Firms are trying and working hard to find ways to help make sure that the average temperature of this world does not rise.  2016 was the hottest year but so far since then, the temperature of each year has slightly dropped since then. New York, South Korea, and other cities are also going to sign a new green deal. There is a chance which we have that we will not die. So Mars can wait.

It’s never too late

It’s never too late to save our planet. We are making huge changes to help reduce the risk of climate change. Schools are giving awareness about this issue and big cities are giving new deals and are ready to look at new types of renewable energy. Iceland is one country which 97% of their energy is from a renewable energy source called Geothermal. 

humans need to be changing the way we behave, shifting the way we make and consume energy. The required changes span technologies, behaviors, and policies that encourage less waste and smarter use of our resources., improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy and protecting forests are all potent ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases trapping heat on the planet. We need to change our ways and we successfully are. Scientists are successfully sustainably producing hydrogen, most of which is currently derived from natural gas. We are going at a good rate and everyone is contributing to mitigate climate change. So that tickets to mars which you have, I think you will need a refund.
