    Climate change is a serious threat that requires immediate action rather than debate. The document discusses how the older generation and education systems have failed to properly educate about and address climate change. Scientific evidence shows that human activities like pollution and deforestation have increased global temperatures and harmed the environment. Unless all people work to enact solutions, climate change will have devastating consequences for future generations.

    CLIMATE CHANGE

    STEPHANY JOY M. MENDEZ BSAIS-2

    What would one do if one’s house was on fire? A few obvious reactions would be,
    panicking or trying to set the fire out. But why are we not seeing this reaction when our
    only home, planet earth, is indeed on fire?

    When on the Internet I see people debating over climate change, it puzzles me. Why
    is there a need for discussion over whether climate change is real or not? It’s not an opinion,
    but a fact and stands true no matter what we choose to believe. Climate Change is our reality
    and to deny it would be an action of absolute ignorance and utter cruelty towards our
    environment and ourselves.

    Much of the older generation does not understand the gravity of the situation or some
    don’t even care. Perhaps, that’s because they are not the ones who will face the
    consequences. There’s this immense ignorance on this subject; people have no idea what
    effects of climate change are. Our education systems lack awareness over climate change.
    Though I was taught about global warming in school, the idea was presented as something
    that takes place in a foreign country where things happen differently, which had no direct
    bearing on me as an individual. Talking about climate change was a mere activity held on
    environment day. Wasting loads of paper to make posters for the art room and making paper
    bags for the craft class was all the day was about. Encouragement to incorporate solutions
    into our lives, was absent from school and home. It was not until I started experiencing the
    effects of climate change first hand that I understood the gravity of the situation.

    Nowadays, climate changes have been targeting of several discussion and scientific
    research. Climatologists have verified that in recent decades, there was a significant increase
    in global temperature, phenomenon, generated by the increase of the air pollution, has
    provoked the ice melting of the polar caps and the increase in the level of water of the oceans.
    Another problem that we can mention is the desertification process has also increase in the
    last decades due to the changes. There are natural causes that accelerate climates changes, but
    the industrialization process is behind much of the recent and rapid acceleration of global
    warming. The needs of populations lead to deforestation. All of these activities release
    greenhouse gases into our atmosphere such as CO2, nitrous oxide and methane. These gases
    trap the heat of the sun on the planet, making it difficult to reflect back into space. Such effect
    causes the Earth’s atmosphere to warm up, which is called the greenhouse effect.

    The Earth needs, above all, that we all want to make the change, from the most
    common citizens to the ones who run countries and companies. Now is the time for action.
    Just so, the next billion people on earth will be grateful. Change is a necessity at this point; it
    has to be brought one way or another. So, to all those who think that climate change is a hoax
    or not as big a deal, I say, if you choose to ignore climate change, then you are willingly
    choosing extinction.
