Also, a variety of environmental problems now affect our entire world. As globalization continues and the earth's natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems.
One of the most serious environmental issues that Earth is now facing is Global Warming. The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing.
Yes, definitely as a resident of Earth, we need to be concern and take measures about climate change.
If I am the government, I will use control the greenhouse gas emissions by using the following strategies:
1. Increase the energy efficiency of our cars, homes, and power plants while lowering our consumption by adjusting our thermostats and traveling fewer miles;
2. Capture the carbon emitted by power plants and store it underground;
3. Produce more energy from nuclear, natural gas, and renewable fuels—solar, wind, hydroelectric, and bio-fuels;
4. Halt deforestation and soil degradation worldwide, while reforesting more areas.
Apart from that, I will also adapt through policies, disaster response plans, or infrastructure to prepare for anticipated changes. For example, coastal regions facing rising sea levels and increased coastal erosion might eliminate incentives to develop high-risk coastlines and encourage a “living buffer” of sand dunes and forest between the ocean and infrastructure. While some adaptations are difficult and expensive, many are relatively inexpensive and offer immediate benefits.
For individuals and businesses, adapting to climate change requires understanding and accepting the risks of regional climate change, assessing the immediate and long-term costs and benefits of adaptation strategies, and implementing adaptations that bring the most benefits relative to the cost and risk.
Thus, I find the environmental issues very important to me, as these issues can affect my life. I need to find a solution to solve these issues. Or else, the world might end tomorrow….
