How to counter climate change

Climate change is not an unknown issue for the rest of us, and it’s certainly a complex subject. In fact, climate scientists have been working on this topic for almost 50 years now — but in recent decades they’ve focused on only two areas. First, how do we make sure that we don’t end up causing any changes to our planet because other species are already doing it? Second, how do we fix our damage as soon as possible by stopping what is actually happening at its source? Unfortunately, both of these issues remain problems today and they will continue to haunt human civilization for many centuries to come.

In short, there are three main things you must know about climate change. The first thing is that the earth is getting warmer and colder due to climate change. There is no denying that change itself is bad for society, and there will be no point in making the effort to stop it that you won’t get to see its effects. For most human beings, however, climate change isn’t so bad because humans can easily adapt. They already live in a very warm environment, so changing just about anything from drought or water scarcity to deforestation is likely a matter of degrees with little effect on their lives for some time. It’s like the fire that burned down the town of Paradise Valley so long ago. We know exactly what happened, so the question becomes what do we do about it?

The second thing about climate change that people should know is that the climate will always change with humanity continuing to emit greenhouse gases into the air. As the Earth heats up and cools down, air particles move through the atmosphere and land wherever they hit (if they hit). These tiny particles then enter our body through the skin, are absorbed by the eyes and lungs, and travel back out at speeds well faster than light. This means that even if we stopped global warming by 2050, it wouldn’t really make much difference. And while it’s true that if we did try to limit global warming, say by limiting the temperature to 1.5 temperature levels or more, we would probably die, our brains would suffer greatly, and we wouldn’t survive on Mars anymore (or maybe somewhere else) because of the extreme heat. But, all of that may not be true. If that was the case then only one thing would happen. People would die. Instead, human civilization would die anyway. I would argue even the biggest nations would simply collapse because of their unsustainable dependency on the fossil fuel industry, which provides 97% of humanity’s energy and makes 99% of everything that we eat, cook and even breathe byproducts.

Finally, climate change is having an impact on nearly every part of life on Earth. Even plants and animals that rely on each other for food are suffering. There is a huge variety of crops in South America, Africa and parts of Asia that could go extinct if climate change continues exponentially. Many of the fish that we eat to keep us alive also depend on ocean pollution. Fish and other sea creatures eat microorganisms in order to stay alive, and it seems likely that the same will true for cows and pigs as they compete with crops for space and water. All of these things are affected by climate change as well. All of the animal life on earth would decline if we don’t react fast enough. Fortunately, there is a third option. Humans can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and methane gas emissions that we give off to the atmosphere and help combat global warming. However, it’s going to take billions of individuals for humans to successfully reduce their environmental footprint and create a better future for everyone on Earth.

It is impossible to predict when and where climate change may occur, such is the natural variability of weather and weather-related events. What we can do though, is create policy and education around the change that is being brought to our planet’s surface because not so much is happening right now, but what is coming and how we can fight it. From my experience, most countries don’t bother enough to understand the climate situation today because it seems too complicated and it usually comes down to political factors and culture issues. I think that it is important that we learn and develop skills around climate change so that we have the best chance at adapting to the changes and fighting climate change. After all, it’s not only about “how old does your house need to be?” because it impacts everyone on the planet in different ways. So yes, it is important to be educated over what’s happening and about what we can do.
