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.
