Climate Crisis and Issues on Earth
Humans have failed to realize how precious Earth really is. Despite countless efforts by many organizations to help re-stabilize the Earth, its health continues to deteriorate. Therefore, there needs to be a nationwide intervention in order to even begin to bring the Earth back to how it was before.
This seems unlikely to happen, as there will always be people who decide to do things such as litter, destroy wildlife, etc. Therefore, it seems that no action will be able to reverse the effects that have already been created by humans.
Scientists Say Earth is in the ‘Danger Zone’
Scientists have been constantly studying the Earth, and how it continues to deteriorate as time passes by. “Earth has pushed past seven out of eight scientifically established safety limits and into “the danger zone,” not just for an overheating planet that’s losing its natural areas, but for the well-being of people living on it, according to a new study,” according to AP News.
Therefore, there needs to be action that is taken to get out of the danger zone. Even then, there is a large number of people that do not believe these statistics. Therefore, that leads to them to continue to disregard the Earth, and continue to destroy it.
However, despite all of this, there is still time for these statistics to reverse, and therefore re-stabilize, the Earth. “The authors say the planetary diagnosis is grim but not yet beyond hope, though the time for a remedy is running out,” according to The Guardian.
As of yet, it is completely up to the human race to try and reverse what has been done. Even though it will certainly be a difficult task, it is definitely possible and will take a lot of time. Therefore, acting now is of huge urgency.
