Global Warming Issues Still Making Headlines
Climate change and global warming are still adversely affecting our planet.
It doesn’t take a scientist to identify that global warming issues are still serious news, and that ignoring the problem of global warming and climate change won’t alter the fact that changes are constantly happening to the environment, from pole to pole.
A brief glance at today’s news offers up some significant changes and new threats to our world environment:
“Global Warming Threatens Northern California Vineyards”
“Global Warming Spawns Allergy Cases”
“Warming Ocean Layers Undermine Polar Ice Sheets”
“Global Warming Decreasing Salt In Sea”
“Global Warming Keeps Polar Bears On Threatened List”
But there are an equal number of news headlines that continues to identify the need for change:
“Consistent And Unmistakable Need For Action On Global Warming”
“The Only Way To Save Ourselves From Global Warming”
“Berlin Hosts Global Climate Change Summit”
While education and information help to dissuade the opinions of ignorant global industry, there is much to be done in order to inform ourselves about the real effects of global warming. While we continue to meet and discuss the issues, we must affect real change in our lives, our lifestyles, and our use of natural resources. We must strive to first curb the causes of global warming, and then to adapt ourselves to processes that will allow us to prosper, and not at the expense of the Earth.
The Montreal Gazette points to Canada as one of the world’s leading offenders, and obtructors to international climate policy, refusing to accept an agreement that would force binding emission cuts, nor agree to to emission targets.
It goes on to report that the Global Footprint Network and World Wildlife Fund Canada identifies that Canada has the fourth highest ecological footprint (on a per capita basis). It’s not suprising to even the least of us that the impact of global warming in Northern Canada is obvious and apparent, however even the smallest steps to affect change have been stalled by international politics, and a lack of committment to these real global threats. Economy and industry create huge setbacks to reformed policies on climate change.
Global warming isn’t a myth; it isn’t a fad or a fancy. It’s a legitimate threat to nature, the environment, the world, and we’re all a part of the problem. How can we be part of the cure?
