Artifical Natural

There are currently six billion tons of carbon dioxide being admitted into the worlds atmosphere so consequently we will soon we will be breathing twice as much CO2 in every breath than our grandparents did, unfortunately it is not only us who will suffer from the consequences of our irresponsible actions but more so our environment and every other creature inhabiting it.

When we hear of illegal poachers killing endangered species for their precious coats or ivory we are disgusted and refuse to wear fur but in relation to the whole ecosystem falling apart this is clearly a minor problem, but for a strange reason we don’t see it this way. It is certain that global warming is happening, yet no one can predict exactly how severe the consequences will be which is probably why it is so easy to push it to the back of our minds and feel little guilt about it. Yet the beginnings of climate destruction are happening, unfortunately the worst hit areas are also the most rich in flora and fauna such as the Andes Mountains. Not only is their habitat being reduced and changed but other effects include migration of non-native species which will end up killing each other off and their natural yearly routines shifting. Perhaps people will become more concerned about this when it affects them, only when there are swarms of locusts migrating to England and eating all our food will people take note. This illustrates that humans on the whole are selfish and predominantly concerned with what is happening before their eyes than something on a mountain in Africa.

You can buy eco-friendly light bulbs and turn your television off at the plug when you go home but its still not enough. But every little helps right? It seems that the situation will get a lot worse than it is now for people to really start caring, this maybe to late to do anything about but that is the risk the majority seem to be taking. It is nice to think that we do care more about our environment but unfortunately there are to many hypocrites and few that really do that much about it.
