ENVIRONMENTAL

(I have done a response in relation to this article-http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6321351.stm)

Word Count starts from next sentence onwards.

The above article tells us how the condition of global warming is getting worse and how its having a slow but destructive impact on us. According to IPCC(The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
said that temeperatures would increase by 1.8-4C and that sea levels would rise by 28-43cm by the end of the century.

ALL this is because of human activity, but what are we humans actually doing about it? All I can see is just political talks being held and after that nothing is being done. In fact I think environmental conservation should be classified under national security, because Nature provides us resources and without resources, what is there to defend? We are affected by it every single day and we are causing it too. With global warming , there will be flooding throughout the entire world by the end of the century. This matters because we are the future generation! If they do not stop or at least slow down the rate of global warming, we are the ones who will be affected the most. This means that if this continues, we probably have to concentrate more on environmental conservation rather than trying to settle down! This matters to me and everyone in this world because when we harm this planet we harm ourselves too not some alien. Some people just don't seem to take the situation seriously.

Of course, from the capitalist's point of view what i have said so far might sound like crap, but isnt what the capitalists have earned so far is more than what they need. Why do they need to murder trees for their own greed in order to expand their businesses! As Gandhi said, "There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed." Thus we should try our best to follow this example and try to be as conservative as possible.

The author of this article is trying to tell us that we have been creating a fire for warmth and the fire is getting too hot and it is burning ourselves. He is trying to make us feel that we are guilty of the worst crime as possible. I think that most others would agree to my points except for lumberjacks.

Being a student, I have a limited knowledge about globalisation and expansion and so on. This might have caused my views to be one-sided to a little extent. But, i do know that we indeed need to stop global warming at once! Lets us help to conserve the planet. Good planets like Earth are hard to find.
