CLIMATE CHANGE!

        Climate change refers to the abrupt change of the earth's atmospheric and geophysical patterns. During summer months, there are rainfalls and typhoons. On rainy days, we experience hot climate. All of these are evidence of climate change.
        Because of climate change, we have extraordinary cares of typhoons, floods, EL Nino phenomena and others. All of these occurrences are not conducive to our earthly existence.
        There is fear that the end of the world is near. How we should responded to climate change? What should we do to save the earth from total destruction?
        Scientists recommending that we stop activities that are causing climate change. What are these human activities?
        First, we have deforestation which is the careful cutting down of trees. Trees prevent flooding especially in the low areas. Roots of trees absorbed water so flooding would be prevented in our forests. It will also prevent soil erosion and landslides which are killing people during floods and storms.Because of this, we should plant trees in our forests. This is called "Reforestation".
        Second, let us minimize the burning of fossil fuels. The number one of these fuels is oil or gasoline. When oil is burned, carbon monoxide is released to the air which prevents the heat from the sun to go back to the stratosphere. Because of this, we have the El Nino phenomenon which is the absence of rain. This prevents the plant crops for our food.
        These are the two of the things we should do to fight climate change. Let us seriously consider all of these in order to prevent the ultimate death of this planet!
