I
believe climate change is a very serious issue and if we do not do
something about it quickly, there will be dire consequences. We can feel that
the temperature is increasing globally, the weather is becoming erratic. There
are droughts in places like California. The monsoon has weakened in India by
10% because of El Niño. To be honest, this is bad news. If the monsoon has
weakened by 10 % that will definitely affect the agriculture there. Climate
change is affecting people’s lives in unimaginable ways. The article also
mentioned that 2014, 2015, and 2016 will be some of warmest years ever. This summer, the temperature in New Delhi, India hit 50 degrees Celsius! That has never happened before!I remember being in India during the summer in my childhood and the hottest it would get was around 45 degrees Celsius. It proves that the world is really getting warmer;
it is not just a hoax. I think that the governments around the world should have strict
regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions. I think the government should
regulate how much a person should be allowed to drive a month and encourage
people to use public transportation. I also think that the government should
place harsh restrictions on factories producing pollution. Every time I pass through factories in Taipei or in other cities in Taiwan , I see carbon dioxide being emitted. Carbon dioxide is being emitted all over the world, especially in countries like China which has a huge population and a growing industry. All I can think about is the air
pollution being created. I believe that climate change is a very serious issue, and if we do not do something about it soon, there will be side effects which we are already beginning to see.
