Essay / Environment: What is really happening? - 1480
What is really happening?In recent years, many people have questioned or become more aware of the changes occurring on our planet and how they have affected us from the beginning. Some people take this very seriously, but others do not heed the warnings that our Earth, our home, has given us. Much research has been conducted over the past two decades to determine the effect of the many unusual patterns of certain natural "disasters." There has been much confusion from the results of the many scientists who have attempted to understand this ongoing process. This confusion is due to the different data results from each survey. Some scientists have predicted that the worst is fast approaching. It is a fact that disasters will occur in this era. On the other hand, some research claims that this is not true and inaccurate. These so-called “catastrophes” will obviously occur but in a time far removed from our own. There must always be two sides of the coin, two opinions, but how do you know what to believe. What many scientists say is not always certain. They are humans. Miscalculations are possible, but it is worth keeping in mind that our world may not always exist. It was once a young and strong planet, where life flourished all over the world, until sudden changes began to occur. Many say that humans are the worst enemy of this beautiful planet. Many say that's exactly how it's supposed to be, just like a human being. He is born, then grows, then dies after his long life. But what really happened to Earth to cause it to undergo these bizarre changes? What will happen to us? Are we in danger at this point or is this just speculation? Are we about to experiment... middle of paper ...this is what needs to be looked at the most. This is not shown to make us feel responsible, but it gives us an idea, an estimate of the seriousness of the process. We have lived in a complex world, a world that needs protection. We are the only species that has enough intelligence to understand how we can protect the beautiful planet we live on. We have the right tools to do it. We only need the will to do what is right and save ourselves from all the problems we have created. Works Cited Gagosian, Robert B. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. September 3, 2009. Web.
