Disaster of Climate Change

Since the time of the mid 20th century, global warming has turned into more than a scientific concern, it has developed into dramatic measures of survival. Major aspects of global warming such as climate change, deforestation, and human activities have been claimed to be the causes of the tragic disaster to come. However in the article “The Climate of Man-I” from the magazine The New Yorker by Elizabeth Kolbert it implies that climate change is one of the major conditions to worsen global warming. The climate change in temperature has been recorded by scientist to taken place in areas of the Northern Hemisphere and Antarctica. However, Vladimir Romanovsky, a geophysicist and permafrost expert at the University of Alaska stated “It’s very difficult to look at trends in air temperature, because it’s so variable.” From this it is seen that the actual certainty of how the actual climate is changing is unclear.
According to the article the lack of evidence of how climate change is affecting our Earth is not the only issue to mainly focus on. Another primarily important issue is the actual focus and concern about our planet. In the article Kolbert states “Americans have been alerted to the dangers of global warming so many times that volumes have been written just on the history of efforts to draw attention to the problem.” Based on this particular piece of information, it suggests that individuals have not been focusing on the importance of the scientific issue. Although individuals did not focus on the care of global warming right away, Romanovsky however did have a discussion with Elizabeth Kolbert where he stated how individuals did eventually give into the topic of global warming once they realized the affects of its cause. “Ten years ago, nobody cared about permafrost,”” he told me. “Now everybody wants to know.”
From this it is seen that individuals are not equip to the knowledge of climate change, therefore we do not consider the consequences of our behaviors.
