Writing assignment: Essay

Global Warming, biggest threat facing man kind?

In this essay I will discuss the different point of view of global warming.  Did human kind realise to late about what is really going on with our planet?  Is the government responsible about the people being misinformed about this big threat?
Many people from different countries believe that global warming is a real and significant threat to humanity, but other people don't.  I write this essay to try to make people think about the meaning of global warming and how it might or will change the course of humanity.  My personal point of view is that people don't take this problem seriously and it is why our planet is reacting the way it is. 

First of all, one of the most shocking problems of global warming that not only affects in the psychological way, but also in the economical way is the fact that by the climate change, the industries that produce certain vegetables or fruits may be affected by this change.  This is because some vegetables or fruits only grow at a certain temperature, so this will affect significantly in the production and in the feeding of the people. People will be affected by this because some of these products that may no longer exist, are essential for the human function.  To solve this problem, scientists or professionals will need to find a way to modify genetically these products.

Secondly, we must bear in mind that the human race is not prepared for this problem, that's because, in my opinion the government or the world authorities haven't taken this problem seriously and have a big responsibility in why the people don't know what they are facing.  The government should let their countries know what they're dealing with so that they could maybe look for a solution or just be prepared for what is coming. I'm talking about finding a solution, I mean try to prevent this from happening in a few years or simply learn how to live with it.

Besides these problems, according to what I have researched, there are also people that say that there is no way to prevent this from happening. They say that global warming is inevitable and that it is part of evolution. Well, these people are more like philosophers or hippies, who don't care about the environment and will not bother themselves to save this planet.

All things considered, I think that all people who want to maintain this specie may have the same point of view that I have, because were talking about the planet that lets us live and that feeds us. So personally I would like to let people think a little more and help us fight this problem. I would say that a good way of helping, is recycling.

I personally support the author's point of view because he tries to let us know the damage that we are making to our planet.

The author in this article lets us know how global warming is taking over the planet. It might sound pretty drastic but it is the way it is.

Yes they should and this is why the author makes it very clear that the world authorities need to let their people know avout this problem. Or else the Earth will colapse without knowing why.
