CLIMATE CHANGE IS MORE POLITICAL THAN SCIENTIFIC

We have to know that climate change is affecting us, today in many places where it
didn’t snow now it snows and in many other places where they had a pleasant climate they
are now in droughts. Climate change is political because large organizations like the
ONU(UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION) who are the world’s decision-makers cannot do
much about this problem because the WORLD POLITICAL leaders of the richest countries
like China, Russia, United States.etc. are affected by their economy and no country would
agree to reduce its economy in order to reduce climate change.
United Nations Secretary General António Gutiérrez at the beginning of this year
spoke on the subject and said We are witnessing not only a record of global warming, but
also global political tensions are heating up.' Afterwards he added: "Both are dangerous and
both can be avoided. With regard to climate change, the ONU said that we all experienced
heat waves last summer. However, the UN also said that this is not the summer of our
youth. "This is not the summer of our grandparents". The ONU issued a detailed report on
the need to keep global warming at 1.5º Celsius. which would significantly limit the damage
of climate change and for which it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45
per cent by 2030 and achieve so-called carbon neutrality by 2050. The ONU leaders know
that It is useless that world political leaders coming to make wonderful speeches and then
they don’t have concrete plans and commitments.
The political aspect of climate change is a subject about which not much is said. Many
people today do not know that the political aspect directly affects climate change. Since a
country’s economy comes from industry and commerce, so trying to close industries or
businesses to avoid climate change would negatively affect the country’s economy and
politicians would obviously never allow their country’s economy to be affected and other
countries to take advantage of this situation. Because each country competes with the other
countries in relation to its own currency, its own commercial and financial rules, its own
strategies in artificial intelligence and the Internet, and its own geopolitical and military
views. Nowadays it is known that the first world powers are China and the United States and
it is also known that there is a lot of tension between the two countries because of be the
number 1 so if China tried to get into the economy of the United States (close industries,
companies, etc) this would provoke a third world war because there is a lot of tension
between the two countries.
On the other hand there are some people who benefit from climate change who are
the manufacturers of electric cars, air conditioners it is convenient for them to increase
temperatures. And also to the farmers of Norway and Siberia, since in that area it is very
difficult to sow due to the low temperatures that are registered throughout the year. It also
benefits water companies, which will be increasingly scarce.

In conclusion, we still have time to avoid big natural disasters and even a world war if
political leaders give up their ambitions and start making plans to improve climate change
together with the ONU. In this way the following generations would live in a healthy
environment.
