Climate Change panic

In the past couple of years, we have all noticed the dangerous conditions that we have been living in. We have noticed it but chose and still choose to do nothing about it, if it’s not fame, politics, or money we simply ignore it, Once it’s too late, we’re all going to want to do the impossible to fix what was caused. As we start seeing the side effects we can all lead it back to man-made products. Plastic pollution, plastic pollution is causing the oceans to warm and acidify, the acidification of oceans is causing diseases among the fish population and causing it to decline, reefs are being bleached and crestation like oysters and sea snails are dissolving because of the low PH balance. There are many people campaigning to do something about this issue but not enough because of the fact that people don’t believe or care to inform themselves. Not only are oceans taking damage but many parts of the world, The online media called “Gale OneFile-News” posted a story by “Rebecca English” called “Worlds largest ice shelf melt 10 times faster than expected; study shows global warming impact” These ice shelves are a huge part of the ecosystem and they keep everything balanced, they are used for protection against predators by penguins and seals. The media have shown the great impact the north has taken, from starving polar bears to little or no snow in parts where snow is supposed to last years. We rarely see these images in hardly any places and when we do we still choose to do nothing about it. I think we fail to realize that this is a huge issue, the warming of our waters because of global warming is not our only problem, floods are severe in many areas and damages are being done, The rise of sea levels can cause destruction for other habitats and can cause damages to our freshwaters by seeping into our aquifers, we won’t be able to have fresh drinking water if this continues. Apart from the North poll, North America has also seen a major downfall in the past couple of years, because of global warming and its massive CO2 emissions have caused the forest to grow warmer and warmer, with changes like these more random forest fires can start and burn millions of acres before it can be controlled by local authorities, not to mention the vast amounts of Co2 it’s releasing, Trees give us the oxygen we need and having a forest helps us increase our oxygen levels but destroying them for money is causing our downfall. We know perfectly well that things are plummeting at a fast rate but all we can do is make small changes because we hold little power, those higher-ups can do so much about it but they block it off because they are scared to bring up something so controversial. I want to mention that although these are heavy impacts it’s never too late, there are solutions and there are small ways we can resolve this mess we made although it won’t be as fast. With mass amounts of plastic and overfishing as well as the warming of the ocean we rely so heavily on we don’t really know how long we have, the rising sea waters will soon be too much. The vast amounts of carbon in the atmosphere are causing a hole in the ozone layer, causing a chain reaction that links to man-made machines that cause climate change. We are not too late but we are not enough to do something about everything.
