SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
I believe that climate change is the most significant issue in the entire world now, since no other issue involves the potential extinction of the entire human race. I believe climate change is a fact for the following reasons:
- I don‘t see any motivation for anybody to claim that climate change is a threat. However, there are very powerful and wealthy companies who stand to lose a lot if they cannot convince people that climate change is a myth.
- I have never heard anybody deny that the ice caps are melting.
- I have never heard anybody deny that the average temperature on earth is increasing.
To those people who claim that climate change is a fact, but it is not caused by pollution, I say, “Regardless of the cause of climate change, we must do something about it as soon as possible. Any leader who ignores the issue is an accessory to mass murder.”
On the other hand, I suspect it is too late to save the planet. As I understand it, even if all pollution stopped today, the ozone layer would continue to deteriote, though the rate of damage would gradually decrease. So stopping pollution would only delay the end. We must look for another solution, such as building underground cities or moving to another planet or a moon.
