Reaction Paper About Climate Change and

Climate change is caused by both natural processes and human activities like increasing greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. As the planet warms due to climate change, sea levels are rising which will flood coastal areas, and extreme weather events are becoming more severe and frequent. Unless action is taken to reduce human-caused climate change, it poses a major threat to humanity and the global environment. The essay argues that prioritizing profits over environmental protection has exacerbated climate change, and that people must change their behavior and lifestyles to reduce their negative impacts on the planet.

Reaction Paper About Climate Change and Global Warming

I have read an essay about Climate Change and Global Warming. It had enumerated
many factors, which influence climate change and stated that anthropogenic factors
(factors caused or produced by humans) are the most harmful ones. What is climate change?
Why should people care about the increase of the average annual temperature (Global
Warming)? How can climate change affect our life? Climate change is not just the increase
of the average temperature on Earth. It is the alteration of the weather patterns and
climate in general. This problem is very urgent and requires rapid and effective solutions;
otherwise, the humanity cannot survive on this planet.

In my opinion, Sometimes or even most of the times, We, human, forget about our
actions which causes harm to our natural environment.
Climate change is not just the result of volcanic eruptions and greenhouse effect
(atmospheric heating phenomenon). It is caused by people and their carelessness. I believe
that it is possible to solve all environmental issues easily.

Unfortunately, people do not want to change their lifestyle. They continue cutting
down forests, killing animals, littering, increasing the number of auto mobiles, plants and
factories. They do not care about pollution and its harmful effect on their own life. They
build a factory, which pollutes water and air and consume this polluted water and breathe
in the contaminated air eagerly. People have got used to pollution, production of wastes,
deforestation and extinction of biological species.

I guess this problem is closely connected with globalization and big business. Everybody
knows that money is the most important thing in the world. It is impossible to survive
without money. No wonder, the absolute number of people believe that money is more
important than trees, animals, air and water.

They are ready to do anything to earn more money. They will cut down the entire
forest in order to sell this wood and gain profit. They will produce oil polluting seas and
oceans, because oil is money. They will devastate enormous areas of soil in order to create
new coal- and goldmines. Large corporations build new enterprises in different parts of the
world in order to increase profit.

Due to increase building of factories and machineries, Earth temperature elevates,


global warming causes a great number of the related problems. To begin with, there is the
increase of the sea level on the entire planet. All areas, which are situated below the sea level
are flooded. This phenomenon is caused by the melting of glaciers (huge ice forms), which
release much fresh water into rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. Vast territories will disappear
under water in a few years if the temperature continues increasing.

Then, the temperature causes the weather changes. It is possible to see such natural
phenomena as tornado, landslides, hurricanes, lightning, etc. in the places, where they have
never occurred. It means that the climate on the definite territory has changed; therefore,
the entire local environment should get used to other weather patterns, temperatures and
natural disasters. People have to pay for their carelessness, because climate change affects
their health, life and economy. When the weather changes on the definite area, it is
impossible to grow the same vegetables and fruit. As a result, the economy of the state
suffers.

As you see, climate change is a very relevant and serious problem, which requires
effective solutions. It affects people and animals. When the climate changes on the definite
territory, people, animals and plants have to get used to these changes and alter their
lifestyle. I guess people should start thinking about the natural environment and reduce
their devastating effect on the planet until it is too late.
