wir schreiben am Montag eine Englisch-Arbeit, Hauptthema: Our changing planet. Habe mich mal an einem Essay versucht, irgendwas muss man ja lernen für Englisch
One of the biggest problem facing the world and many scientists are concerned about is global warming. The production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases changes the environment. It’s having a heating effect on the atmosphere, and the consequences couldn’t be only dangerous for human life, for our vegetation and animals too. This leads us to an important source of the world’s destroying, the disforestation of the rainforest. These forests are very necessary to regulate our climate. It’s not only the disforestation caused by human being, the overpopulation and the resulting destruction of entire ecosystems are the greatest threats to biodiversity. If we look at all the problems caused by the climate change, we’ll maybe realize to change something finally. Such as rising sea levels, which could result in the flooding of low lying coastal areas and cities, for example Egypt, the Netherlands, and Bengladesh, some countries might even disappear completely! Another problem caused by global warming, where you can clearly see the climate change, are changes in weather patterns, with the result that many areas of the world are experiencing increased hurricanes, floods, and other unusual weather. A third problem associated with global warming is the effect on animals, the species extinction. Many rare species will become extinct, especially from the disforestation of the rainforest. In addition, fish populations could be affected, while some insects which spread disease might become more common.
Well, there are several things we can do to solve the problem of global warming, such as to stop producing CO2 by switching from oil, coal and gas to renewable energy. Furthermore, we should switch to local traffic, going by bike and avoid taking the plane. Another solution is to plant more trees.They absorb carbon dioxide and don’t produce greenhouse gases. A third solution is to use less energy and to recycle more products. If we do that we will produce less CO2, because generating electricity is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide.
To sum up, I can say that the people should wake up and realize what we already did to the world. I think if we make small changes now, we can avoid huge environmental changes in the future, therefore, scientists, governments and individuals must work together to overcome this threat.
Vielen Dank an diejenigen, die sich das antun!
