Global Warming Blog #10, The Future of the Issue

People have mixed views about the future of Earth relating to global warming. Some think the future will be bad and have severe consequences, but some believe the future holds good results. For example, these are some expectations from the Green Facts web article, Scientific Facts on Climate Change :

“Over the course of the 21st century, many impacts are expected to occur in natural systems. For instance, changes in precipitation and the melting of ice and snow are expected to increase flood risks in some areas while causing droughts in others. If there is significant warming the capacity of ecosystems to adapt will be exceeded, with negative consequences such as an increased risk of extinction of species.”

That was a negative view on the future of the issue. It touches on the side effects that have been and will result from global warming over the years. However, people have more positive views as well. Take a look at this excerpt from Hilary Clinton’s Hilary for President article, Powering America’s Future: New Energy, New Jobs about what she plans to do to help lower our greenhouse gas emissions:

“Hillary has a bold and comprehensive plan to address America's energy and environmental challenges that will establish a green, efficient economy and create as many as five million new jobs.

Centered on a cap and trade system for carbon emissions, stronger energy and auto efficiency standards and a significant increase in green research funding, Hillary's plan will reduce America's reliance on foreign oil and address the looming climate crisis.”

As shown by the two examples, different people have different views about what awaits us in the future as far as global warming is concerned. In actuality, the future mainly depends on what everyone does. We SHOULD do our best to lean more toward opinions such as Hilary’s. This way, we can solve our planet’s problem and not have to deal with any consequences that may follow if global warming were to get out of hand. Only the people of the world can truly make a difference, so we might as well make some kind of attempt to keep our world in the best condition possible while we still can.
