Climate Change "Our Greatest Threat"
  
Sir David Attenborough has brought climate change to many people's attention for he believes it is ought to be a "man-made disaster of global scale". During Sir David's speech, he stated that climate change can lead to the extinction of our natural world and the collapse in civilizations. Things such as pollution from cars, factories, and other factors can lead to a low carbon economy. Due to less carbon, areas in the world are exposed to flooding in areas, extinction of animal and plant species, rising in sea levels, loss of land, famine, and drought. It is scientifically proven that the earth is 1-degree Celsius warmer than it was 160 years ago. Although it doesn't sound like much, warmer climates can easily harm areas of land as well as living organisms on earth. As a solution, scientists suggest that if we can keep the global temperatures rising no more to half a degree by the end of this century, our situation and problems with climate change will be less critical then it is now. Simultaneously, scientists believe that if we pass the 1.5-degree mark of increase in temperature within the next 12 years, our problems won't come to end. For this, scientists suggest we use more renewable sources of energy and plant more trees to create more carbon in our air if we want to preserve our planet and everything on it.

Climate Change "Our Greatest Threat"

Sir David Attenborough has brought climate change to many people's attention, for he believes it is ought to be a "man-made disaster of global scale". During Attenborough speech, he stated that climate change can lead to the extinction of our natural world, and the collapse in civilizations. Things such as pollution from cars, factories, and other factors can lead to a low carbon economy. Due to less carbon, areas in the world are exposed to flooding in areas, extinction of animal and plant species, rising in sea levels, loss of land, famine, and drought. It is scientifically proven that the Earth is 1℃ warmer than it was 160 years ago. Although it doesn't sound like much, warmer climates can easily harm areas of land, as well as living organisms on Earth. As a solution, scientists suggest that if we can keep the global temperatures rising no more to half a degree by the end of this century, our situation and problems with climate change will be less critical then it is now. Simultaneously, scientists believe that if we pass the 1.5℃ mark of increase in temperature within the next 12 years, our problems won't come to end. For this, scientists suggest we use more renewable sources of energy, and plant more trees to create more Oxygen in our air if we want to preserve our planet and everything on it.
