The End Of The World As We Know, is a documentary exploring climate change I saw tonight. It did gain some noise when I broadcast in UK last year as the program emphasizes again and again that the real threat we are facing is definitely not global terrorism but global warming, which the majority are not really agree with. The presenter interviews different experts, not just environmentalists but scientists and financiers and even the Shell’s director, about their scary of climate change.
Just 30 minutes before the program, I head another bad news about the case of Greenland's glaciers. The NASA satellite just found that the Greenland’s glaciers are losing ice quicker than any scientific prediction or modeling, and the results could mean ocean levels will rise even faster than previously thought. And the glaciers may melt even more quickly in the years to come. The founding does not analysis the acceleration of the Greenland ice sheet melting and moving but most scientists agree that human activity and burning fossil fuels, is playing an important role in global warming.I received an email from a U.S. friend and he told me the majority of people in his country have no idea of how their activities use energy, or are even aware of it any level, which entitles the U.S. becomes the world biggest greenhouse gases chimney. Meanwhile the U.S. government offer different “solutions” to show their concern on the issue but it seems that the situation does not change a bit. This not only happens in the U.S. but everywhere in the world.
It is very clear that we are seeing our warning sign but we just neglect this great peril. Our modern lifestyle and “fundamental needs” are bankrupting our nature resource; threaten our future planet. It is sad that for most people the attraction of modern life resist them for a change.
Climate change is creating the hugest obstacle to humanity and human are powerless to stop GHGs forcing the climate change if we are not doing more proactively right now.
