the climatic changes


 

This is a summary of the response to the climatic changes. I will provide a summary in my own words from the Complete Briefing of Global Warming. The words used are paraphrased and provide the same meaning as in the text.

 

There is a lot of uncertainty in the way that the future climate is predicted. The uncertainty is brought about by the fact that there is no perfect knowledge of the science behind climate change and the human activities that bring about the changes. Those making decisions for the future try to consider the unknown and decrease the effects that the uncertainty will bring to the climate. There are various actions that may cost no or little funds to enable the reduction of the climatic change. Projects to save and conserve energy may be undertaken. Other ways may be through the reduction or possible elimination of deforestation by growth of more trees as they are cut. Another way would be the use of energy that does not emit hazardous gases like carbon dioxide. Renewable energy is a good example and there is a need for urgent actions to be taken as the more time it continues the worse the situation gets.

Conclusion

The climatic change brings change every day and there is a constant need for everyone to take responsibility in the creation of a better safer environment. The steps should be individualized as when one is changing, they can influence change in another and let the change spread to the rest of the world. It is a self initiative to respond to the climatic changes, use renewable power, plant a tree and tell your neighbor to do the same.
