The
planet Earth is our world. Beautiful landscapes, extensive oceans and huge
mountains are some gifts from our planet that we, humans, are daily destroying
it. Just think about how perfect our world works, in every scenario, how
animals immigrate depending on the season, how plant does not even move but
they are living beings. Think of every process that every living thing need to
go through to survive, how animals eat each other to maintain an ecological
balance. It is impressive the many planet that actually exists but we live in
this one in specific. That is the main reason why we, humans "thinking
animals", have to reduce the contamination , water pollution, and air
pollution. Unconsciously or not , we are the main and only one killer that keeps doing more harm to nature. Politicians
are forgetting that power is meaningless without home, our planet.
One of the biggest problems is the carbon
dioxide emissions. Last week two of the biggest carbon dioxide emitters
countries made a historic climate change agreement, "China and the United States
have the largest
economies and the highest
manufacturing outputs in the world, so it probably isn’t too surprising that these
two countries also top
the charts in carbon emissions as well. In 2008, these two countries
accounted for 42%
of all carbon emissions in the world..." " While this might sound
incredibly ambitious and has already drawn
the ire of some of Obama’s political opponents, many of the necessary
policies are already in place and making an impact. The U.S. was responsible
for over 7,250
million metric tons of CO2
emissions in 2005,
and has reduced that number to 6,525 million metric tons in 2012—a 10%
decrease. Political hissy fits aren’t
likely to interfere with this goal or current progress." The United
States government thinks that this is a good change, but is not! They need to
do more effective and drastic changes to reduce this amount of CO2 emission.
