We’re in the Titanic!

               I’m not playing games with your minds. We ARE in the Titanic. Except, there is a plot twist, we can see the glacier in front of us. Hmm..interesting, right? But, what would we do if we could see the glacier? We’d get out of its way, wouldn’t we? So why aren’t we doing it now? And yes, I used the Titanic in a metaphorical way to depict[...drumroll...]climate change. 

               Climate change-people call it the crisis of our time, and they’re absolutely right. Many of us don’t know what climate change is. So, let’s start at the very beginning.

               The earth is 4.543 billion years old, add or subtract about 50 million years. Back then, the whole planet was green and beautiful. A few of you may say, “it’s still beautiful”. But guess what? You’re wrong. To start off, everyone knows about carbon-dioxide, right? The emission of this gas has always been neutral because an equal amount of oxygen was released. But that is until the 1950’s. Guess what caused it to raise in the 1950’s? The industrial revolution. The emission of this deadly gas has been raising since then and it hasn’t stopped. 

               Why did the emissions not stop? Because we cut down trees. Trees provide oxygen, which makes the carbon-dioxide neutral. But since we cut them down, the carbon-dioxide has been increasing. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this chart that is proven true by environmentalists. 

               It’s still increasing in number with every letter I type. That chart is dated till the year 2000, but it’s increased even more. This carbon-dioxide emission leads to the greenhouse effect.

               The greenhouse effect is caused when the harmful gasses like carbon-dioxide and many others pull the sunlight in the earth’s surface. The heat the the sunlight entering the surface depletes the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects us from UV Rays i.e. harmful rays of the sun. 

               And because of global warming the sea waters expand and the glaciers melt. When that happens the chances of flood increases by every second. The cities living nears seas have experienced many of these floods in the past 50 years. 

               Not just this, there are MANY destructions on our planet because of climate change. Many of which i cannot fit in one post. So, will you help this Titanic go around the glacier?
