The End of Climate Change
Humans are not distinct, but an integral part of it, even though their behaviors seem otherwise. It is caused by the will to survive and greed.
Recently, news regarding climate change and its severe impacts on the Earth and humans has resurfaced due to police officials arresting scientists/ecologists who protested/advocated for systemic change. As a result of the uproar, trends, and hashtags such as #LetEarthBreathe and #ScientistsProtest have emerged, causing an awakening in people's passion for nature.
Netizens on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and others have been exchanging environmental tips. However, they are insufficient to halt the ongoing turmoil produced by climate change. The attitudes and actions of citizens toward nature are only the beginning.
To solve climate change, we must first acknowledge that it is a fundamental problem; I have observed that many people do not care about climate change and its consequences; they have the perspective that if it does not 'directly' touch them, they will not contribute to solving it. However, climate change impacts everyone; it is NOT YET EVIDENT, but it will be in the coming years.
We know that carbon emissions are caused by burned fuels, notably mined fossil fuels and natural gas. These are subsequently processed to produce electricity, which humans use for comfort. Although this has dramatically aided humans in living a pleasant existence, it has harmed our environment, not to mention the other species affected. This leads us to the second option, which is to seek innovative opportunities to decrease or eliminate the adverse effects on our environment. Many researchers, particularly in science domains, have made significant contributions yet are not recognized for it. Promoting these types of alternatives helps mitigate climate change, but it also helps us, as humans, to grow and be innovative.
The next step is to cease viewing nature as a moneymaker; that is, many industries would choose the path that generates the most money over the course that has the slightest damage to the environment. This includes commercial businesses, the government, and so on. If governments employ renewable energy instead of non-renewable energy, the private sector (non-renewable energy) will cease to exist. The government also contributes to this 'quandary' by focusing primarily on industrial growth, such as replacing farmlands, forestry, and ecosystems with infrastructure to aid our deteriorating economy.
Finally, consider your lifestyle. Humans are not separate from nature but a part of it, even though their behaviors seem otherwise. The need for survival and avarice causes it; they are unaware that their luxurious living costs are ruining their ecosystem. To fight this 'inverse relationship,' we must also assist, develop, and improve our way of life. It will be difficult, but possible. We must remember that hashtags without work are still meaningless, and they cannot constitute a powerful solution to this ongoing problem.
To summarize, we humans must love our world because it meets our needs, and we must also defend it. Our activities mirror our future, and a change promises a bright future. Before it is too late, we must be wise and disciplined before we reach THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
