Be afraid, be very afraid. Scientists have been lobbying our governments trying to warn them about the catastrophic events that will occur and are happening as a result of global warming. We are speeding up the process of global warming with the continued use of hydrocarbons and other harmful emissions that are being expelled into our atmosphere; we are literally killing the world as we know it. The good news is that there is hope and people are aware of what is happening and there is time to change our behaviors and the usage of our resources.
Coal burning plants and cars are the biggest culprits for causing greenhouse gasses in the US, knowing this is good news; we can now modify our cars and drive around vehicles that are less damaging to the environment. This takes time but a plan has been set in motion and it is internationally recognized and acknowledged by the world leaders. Each country has agreed to reduce the carbon emissions that come from cars and as a direct result from this decision; we are now developing alternative fuel sources. We are seeing cars that run on bio-fuels as well as electric cars.
Our polar ice caps are melting and there has been a rise in our sea level which has caused concern for many low lying countries in Europe and Islands in the South Pacific and Asian regions. Flooding and stormy weather have featured in the news, globally of recent years. The hurricanes and tsunamis that have plagued the countries around the equator are getting more intense and more damaging due to the warming waters and volatile conditions.
We need to assess the state of our world and see what the impact is that we are having on it and decide what we can do.
