Climate Change for Sustainable Development

I learned that…

Everything has changed – the land, the water and the air. Changes do happen but these must be for the “BETTER” and not for the “WORSE”. Earth is changing but the changes happening are not for the better but it is for the worse. Like for example, when it is summer, the temperature is really high and it feels really hot; and when it is winter, the temperature is really low and it feels very cold. This change is mostly referred as climate change. This is really bad, and we, people are the one who mostly contributed with these changes. We are the so called “stewards of nature” but what we are doing today is the opposite. We are the “rule breakers”. Instead of being “stewards”, we are the “destroyers”.
But in the end, if we will continue to play a role as a “destroyer”, we will also be the one who will suffer. If we will continue to contribute greenhouse gases, ozone layer is gonna be depleted, and if this happen, earth will get hotter and hotter, melting the glaciers from the north pole and south pole, increasing the level of ocean, and may lead to extinction of some specie. Different diseases are going to occur and we may be up to no good. See? Everything is connected to everything else and it must lead to somewhere, and that somewhere is either for good or for bad.
Well, it is not too late to act. We have the greatest minds. We can still manipulate what is happening and we must start now. We are made not to rule earth, but help it.

Online Activity:
I actually watched two videos:

“Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability” from YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMIFBJYpSgM)

The Climate Change and Global Oceans prepared by NASA

Online Collaboration:
I participated in the online discussion by...
It is by means of posting my insights and reflections regarding climate change on one of my social networking sites, which is my blogger. I also shared it with my family, friends and other people. I must not be the only one to know about this, but every mankind. Every mankind must be aware of this change.
