The UN Secretary General warned that climate changes poses as much danger to the world as WAR. The danger posed by war to all humanity and to our planet is at least matched by the climate crisis and global warming. He urged the US- the biggest producer of greenhouse gases to take the lead in fighting global warming. He also noted that that our generation is "somewhat careless" with the planet but he's hoping we will change. We have ways... I know you know those (?) Who shall take the lead? THe first world countries

The effects of Global Warming we are experiencing now is caused by the thinning of the ozone layer. This means that there is a possibility that the ozone layer will be totally gone if everyone will not do something to help the environment cope in this crisis. Once the ozone layer is totally gone, none of us living things who are used to live in the current environment, will survive. That makes it much, much worse than any world war. I don't have any idea what will be the living beings which will roam the earth once this happens. The Americas have the biggest responsibility to shoulder in this case. Since they are the number one contributor of the factors which has caused this to happen, they must also be the number one actor in remedying it. They must never, ever pass on the blame to others. But since each of us has the capability to do something about this, then let's do it. The little that each one of us does, will make a lot of difference.

That's true, because I start to look at this impact in everyday life. The uncertain weather make trouble for farmer to start plants the area and they doesn't know when can harvest crop because cycle a period of planting fickle. This thing causes the price of food-stuff and others become so expensive. So this ekstreem weather influence to hard dryness in one sides and floods at the other side, also by starting the hoisterous of storm and typhoon.

This is something that can only be dealt with by everybody on the planet. yes, I think the first world countries should take the lead, but ordinary citizens should also do what they can. I got a smaller car that is more fuel efficient, and switched our house to 100% wind energy instead of coal or gas.
