According to an article in
IRIN (http://www.irinnews.org/Report/96815/CLIMATE-CHANGE-A-four-degree-warmer-world
), there is much alarm over the rising global temperature. Apparently,
scientists predict a four-degree rise, not the previously predicted two-degree
rise, by the end of this century. Even though the two-degree rise is of grave
concern, the four-degree rise would be devastating because of its effect on
global drought and rising coastal waters. As we all know, global warming is
caused by greenhouse gas emissions, which are still not under control. What is it going to take for us to realize
that all global citizens must participate in a concerted effort to reduce our
carbon footprint? For me, all it takes is looking at a picture of Beijing’s
skyline (http://en.mercopress.com/2013/02/14/beijing-s-pollution-alarms-neighbours). What do you think?
