Damages from the global warming

Damages from the global warming

From the article "Global warming threatens if species", the author points out that many species will be extinct soon because of climate change. The author thinks the best way to solve the problem is to find other suitable areas for the endangered species, or the conclusion will be complete and real. There are three reasons that make species disappear: habitat destruction, invasions by alien species and overexploitation by human. Moreover, the author assumes reassembling the species may be possible if the climate changes slowly. The author also asks the question of where we can find those specific areas? However, the author says that it is not every species that has to emigrate, and smaller new areas hold fewer species. Finally, the author states that we should stop the climate from getting worse immediately.

It is very clear about the damages that are from global warming, because the effects are just around us. The author gives us many valid points, and I agree completely with the author that the species are becoming extinct. Therefore, the global warming is the most serious of environmental issues. There are some reasons presented that follow and explain my viewpoints.

First, it is worrisome that the species will become less and disappear, because the biodiversity can balance the environment. The environmental balance is destroyed by the species extinction, and the global warming makes the amount of animals or plants lose their habitats, like polar bears. When we lose the special species once, it is very difficult or even impossible to reassemble and rebuild the ecologic circle.

Second, the warming even harms human life in this day. The global warming is the root of the climate change. There are many environmental disasters that have taken place in recent years. In my country, Taiwan, the typhoons are stronger and even invade in fall. Besides, thousands of people die or lost their property because of the typhoons. Human is also a part of the ecologic circle; global warming also ruins our lives.

Third, the global warming also makes the living condition change. The ice melting floods the lower coastlines and smaller islands; in addition, the desert regions become larger and the produce also can't grow any more. The food will not be enough to feed people and animals one day, and starvation will happen more often. The area where people live will become ocean and desert, and it will be so horrible.

In conclusion, the problem has to be solved and this can't be postponed. Maybe we can't imagine the further picture, if the problem it's solved, but it really connects with people's lives. In fact, I think the government should stand up an figure out the correct way to stop global warming, so that we can live on a safe and beautiful earth.
