Handout on Global Warming
Global warming has attracted much attention in recent years, and the impact of human activities on the Earth's environment has become increasingly prominent. Through long-term observation and research, scientists have found that the continuous rise in global temperatures and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events are closely related to climate warming.
Climate change is having a profound impact on the planet, one of which is the increase in extreme weather. Hurricanes, floods, droughts, and other extreme weather events are more frequent and more severe than ever before, causing great distress and harm to people's lives. Many scientists believe that these extreme weather events are inextricably linked to global warming.
In addition to extreme weather events, global warming has led to the melting of glaciers and rising sea levels. The continuous melting of glaciers in the Antarctic and Arctic has led to a rise in sea level, posing a serious threat to coastal areas. If global warming continues, many low-lying areas may even be inundated, which will cause great damage to human society and ecosystems.
Global warming is also having a negative impact on biodiversity. Many species have lost their suitable habitats due to climate change, and the living environment has become extremely poor, leading to an accelerated rate of species extinction. This threatens the ecological balance of the whole ecosystem and causes many problems for human beings, such as a reduction in the production of some crops and a shortage of water resources.
To meet the challenges posed by global warming, the international community should work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the global environment. Governments should strengthen legislation and regulation to promote the development and application of clean energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. At the same time, people should raise their awareness of environmental protection and change their lifestyles to minimize damage to the global environment.
Globally, many policies and measures have been introduced to cope with climate change, such as the signing of international agreements like the Paris Agreement, and the enactment of corresponding laws and regulations by countries and regions. These are all efforts to combat global warming, but they also require the joint participation and efforts of all countries and citizens around the world.
All in all, global warming is a serious challenge, but as long as all parties around the world work together, stand firm in their confidence and take effective measures, it is entirely possible for us to defeat this common enemy and leave a better home on earth for our future generations.
