Climate Change!

Is there anything positive about climate change? No, not in my opinion. My thoughts on climate change are very simple and logical to my understanding of its harmful effects. Increasing temperatures will kill many animals as well as many people; heat will trigger more forest fires and droughts. Wild life will be at risk because many hibernating animals won’t be able to hibernate during the winter; most likely there won’t be a winter. This will interfere with their reproduction thus leading many species to extinction. An example is the Polar Bear, without ice and low temperatures there is no meaning to the word “Polar” in this bear’s name. The economy will drop drastically because of loss of harvest; production, outdoor jobs, and deaths (heat related illnesses).

I sincerely believe drastic climate change will take place; in fact it has been taking place for a while. In 1999, the death of the last Golden Toad in Central America was the first documented species extinction caused by climate change. Who knows how many other species have become endangered or extinct since then. Rationally this problem is increasingly terrifying but I see it as inevitable events that will unfortunately drive our planet into Global Warming and disaster.

The exact time when the major changes will occur is unknown to everyone. Although scientist might be able to pin point an estimated date at some time in the future, we are still uncertain of exactly when it will happen. The only certainty I see is that it WILL take place. When? I don’t know, but then again no one does. Mother Nature is the one with the final call.
