Change is inevitably.

The era of globalization certainly contributed in changing the

landscape of the world and its inhabitants. Amid this growth and advancement in
technology, the environment seems to bear and suffer the consequences. Every day,
we are confronted with issues and problems related to the environment. The issue on
climate change is one concrete manifestation and realization that the age of
globalization and the rapid industrial and technological advancement has taken its toll
on the natural environment.

Climate Change is "a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to

human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere" (United Nations
Forum Convention on Climate Change)

Global Warming
The ecological crisis is a moral issue ...Respect for Life and for the dignity of the human
person extends also to the rest of creation...We cannot interfere in one area of the
ecosystem without paying due attention both to the consequences of such interference
in other areas and to the well being of future generations.
John Paul II
1990

Global Warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's
atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of
carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.

Global warming causes serious problems that will greatly affect human beings.

Air and water pollution, toxic wastes, improper garbage disposal, destruction of wildlife
habitats, deforestation, mining are some of the problems that relate to environmental
destruction. The many typhoons and strong rains were indeed devastating. The
pollution of international waters, the irreversible destruction of the world's forests and
increased toxic emissions in the air we breathe, among other things, leave us to ponder
our relationship with the environment.

One concrete effect of this lifestyle is global warming The use of coal and oil in
generating electricity for industrial and residential settings is a big factor in increasing
levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which contributes to the warming of the
planet. The increasing level of carbon dioxide also contribute to what scientists call
the "greenhouse effect". The green house effect takes place when gases are trapped
in the atmosphere and retain heat from the sun. Warming of the planet causes serious
problems that will greatly affect human beings.

" The most important things about global warming is this: Whether humans are
responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it is
all our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than
we found it.
-Mike Huckabee

Climate Change Solution

In order to avoid the most serious impacts of climate change, humans will have to
significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions being put into the
atmosphere. There are different approaches to make these decreases, including
optimizing vehicles proficiency, expanding access to and utilization of open travel,
overhauling building protection, supplanting fossil with renewable energy and
diminishing deforestation. Some of these techniques and hence gradually decreasing
emissions. The use of cleaner production technologies and change of lifestyle are
desired to impact a change in climate.
