Global warming

Global warming
One month ago, I saw a report on the global warming in Straits Time and It said the temperature of the last year , 2006, had increased rapidly and achieved a new peak.
Once I read an article on the internet talked about the serious influence of the global warming which was becoming worse and worse , esp. in Asian. “South-east Asia as rising global temperatures bring violent cyclones and more flooding and droughts to the region.” Moreover the impact to people’s lives is a more enormous disaster: “flooding tens of thousands of hectares of farmland and impacting on tens of millions of people.” And “the destruction of crops and to cover insurance claims measuring billions of dollars.”. The global warming causes the decline of quality of people’s lives esp. the environment and hometown they have depended on for thousands of years. Someone doesn’t believe how bad the situation is but the truth from scientists’ research is that everything can’t be reversed if we watch the destruction developing without taking any action .“Bangladeshi Monirul Qadar Mirza, a water- resources expert based at Toronto University said South-east Asia was expected to suffer from higher than average temperature rises and increasingly moody weather swings. Dr Mirza said storm surges would flood inland farms with salty sea water ruining the soil, while rising sea levels would flood delta areas permanently.Sea levels are predicted to rise by between 9 cm and 88 cm by 2100.The migration of millions of people to the urban areas of Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam is expected in future due to the permanent inundation of coastal areas,' he warned.
Any conclusion about the pale future of human beings can be drawn easily from the materials above.Facing to such a challenge, the whole human beings shall and must take actions to prevent the tragic result from happening. “Dr Mirza said Asean should start preparing for the effects of climate change, building it into development plans and even breeding new salt- and heat-resistant crops.”Furthermore, some significant precautions or effort can be taken in the area of Carbon dioxide which is the criminal of the global warming. The vent of Carbon dioxide from industries ought to be reduced. The percentage of plants on the land will increase while turning the gas into useful and harmless oxygen. In fact many governments have realized the situation and started to put in effort, for example Kyoto protocol has achieved an international co-operation against the global warming but it is quite a pity that the U.S.A who produce the largest amount of Carbon dioxide refused to sign up. So it is still a hard work to overcome the problem and conquer the challenge. It needs a lot of efforts and convictions. But I think that if we can recognize the serious problem properly, the prospect of human beings’ future will be splendid and significant.
