Title: Billions face climate change risk

Take action or die !

Nowadays, what is the biggest enermy to human beings? War? Diseases?Shortage of food and oil,or something else? In my opinion, the answer is global warming.
Let's see some data and evidences first:
1. The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.2
2. The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.4
3. Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.3
4. At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.5
5. The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.8
7. More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.9(from http://www.climatecrisis.net/thescience/ )



You may doubt: “Is it true?”
I can tell you firmly: “Yes, it is true!!”

Nowadays, climate changes have been one of the acutest issues in the world. Glaciers are melting; thousands of creatures disappear from this world forever every day; tsunami, hurricanes and droughts are damaging our homeland. It's not a rumor; it's the true things happening surrounding us. Some one may laugh:"Global warming has nothing with me, why I need spend my time concerning about it?" However, I can tell you seriouly, global warming does have something to you, it can damage your life just in one second. It is like a cronic disease, you won't even feel it most of the time, however, when you realize the destructiveness of it, it's too late already.Let's take the tsunami in2004 as an example, the merciless disaster took away hundreds of thousands of lives just in a few minutes,even not leaving their corpses. It is not a joke, it is a warning signal to our human beings. We must take action, we are so fragile that we can't bear any more catastrophe like that, we really can't bear another loss of millions of lives.


A few weeks ago, I watched a documentary called “An inconvenient truth” .It tells the enormous climate changes in our world since 1950. After watching this show, I was shocked. If the earth's climate condition continues to deteriorate, enormous areas of America will be under water, Japan and Singapore will disappear, the eastern part of China will be submerged, etc. It is not a matter of economy; it is the matter of the existence of human beings.
There is an idiom: what you sow, what you reap. Since last century, our human beings have emitted large amounts of CO2 and greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. As a result, the atmosphere can not function properly and gradually become an enormous heater. We are responsible to the harm that we did to our mother nature and nowadays, our “mother” is punishing us with calamity and death.

However, it's a pity that some governments like America and China are still not aware of the destructiveness of global warming, to protect their own interests, they renege their pledges and ignore their obligations and duties. Everyone should know that : in front of the mother nature, no country is a winner, we are all losers.
We should ask ourselves: “What can we do to protect our earth, the only paradise we are living in?” We must take action or we will die out.
Facing the climate crisis, all of us should get together, regardless of race, religion and all discriminations. The governments should cooperate and communicate with each others, carry out the strategies of sustainable development to protect our earth as well as ourselves. There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so.
Friends, from now on, leave your room with the fans and lights off; buy energy-saving electric equipments; tell all your friends and relatives: take action or die!
Friends, to protect the earth is to protect ourselves. Let's do it from now on, take action, to build a more beautiful world!
