Importance of Climate Change

The state of environment In recent decades it has been profoundly transformed and many signs have indicated that nature is altering in negative and sometimes uncontrollable ways. The excessive and abusive action of the human being since the 18th century has led to a situation of funnel in which the problem is already undeniable and recognizing that there is much to be done ahead is necessary. Climate change is not an invention but a real problem and therefore understanding its importance is vital to ensure ecological sustainability.

The human productive system and its effects on nature

To know why we should sit down and talk about climate change, it is useful to analyze how the economic productive system of the human being has affected nature. From the Industrial Revolution man has managed not only to produce more but he has also learned to produce faster. To sustain this accelerated production and in quantity, it was necessary to create a system that would make us believe that it is useful and It is essential to consume non-stop, continuously, even elements that we do not need or that we end up throwing away because left over

Thus, nature has been beaten by the human being to obtain from it resources such as wood, paper, food, livestock, raw materials in general. At the same time, industrial production has historically required the use of energies that in many cases have polluted the environment such as coal, oil or gas and that are not energies renewable. Its use has severely damaged the ozone layer that protects us from the sun's rays and has transformed world temperatures, as well as altering the planet's ecosystems and biomes.

What is the use of talking about climate change?

We must bear in mind at this point in time that the phenomenon to which we refer here is real and is not an invention of scientific sectors to stop economic production. The damage we have caused to the planet is irreversible in many cases, although in some aspects some of the damage can be recovered. It is vitally important both for us and for future generations to discuss the process of change in the ecosystem planetary in order to be able to better know its characteristics and better plan the solution to take.

States must take responsibility for proposing economies that are based on the use of clean energy and not contaminants, that resources can be renewable and do not wear out the planet, as well as stimulate the responsible consumption in the citizens. These are just some of the options available, but without a doubt they could help stop the advance of the deterioration of nature.
