Global Warming is REAL

Global Warming has been a concern for a while now, but some were saying it's just a natural climate change.

It is very possible that a warming was bound to happen, even without extra greenhouse gas emissions, but looking back at the Earth's history of climate changes, it is about time for the climate to start cooling.

Potential Disasters

The opposite is true, and the charts from above show that. One day I came across a show called "Last Days On Earth", it was a top 7 countdown of most likely causes of extinction of the human race. Things like a comet hitting Earth, a huge volcanic eruption big enough to block the sunlight and induce an ice age, and even a super computer somehow causing havoc were included in the countdown, but #1 on the countdown was global warming, simply because it has been proven that it is already happening.

Something needs to be done before it's too late to reverse the damage already done. It is totally possible for this to be reversed, but it will require governments to regulate factories, automobiles, and other greenhouse gas emitters.

Barry's Response - I'd like to find this series. Thanks for suggesting it, Aman. Other people who enjoyed this one pointed out that they found it quite entertaining as well as enlightening. That's gotta be a good combination.

Quick Description

"Last Days on Earth," an ABC science special from 2006, ranked global warming as the top threat to humanity. It presents as a documentary ranking seven existential threats to humanity, from least to most likely: star death, AI, supervolcanoes, asteroids, nuclear war, pandemics (Remember this was 2006), and climate change. It explores the science and plausibility of each scenario.

Over millennia, Earth's climate has fluctuated naturally. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation are linked to rapid warming, according to current data.

More recent reports say 2024 was the warmest year ever. We need to do something about carbon dioxide since it's at an 800,000-year high.

Doesn't feel settled to me

It has also been said that the current warming trend is natural, but the unprecedented rate and magnitude of change suggest something different, perhaps human involvement. We need to work together on this. To limit greenhouse gas emissions, regulations need to be implemented and enforced. Reducing energy consumption, supporting renewable energy sources, and reforestation are all sustainable practices.

By combining policy initiatives and individual responsibility, we can mitigate global warming. And don't forget the benefits to be derived from continued research.
