HUMAN CONTROL AROUND CLIMATE CHANGE 3

Can humans reverse the effects of pollution or is the damage to great to combat?

What do we know about human control, and how we affect the climate? I’m not a climate

scientist, and I do not analyze climate change. I have over the years followed the devastating

depletion of our planets' fossil fuels and resources by large corporations. Several times in my

past I witnessed the planets oceans being used as dumping grounds for chemicals and trash.

On a trip through Indonesia, I visited the famous Bali beach. In the evening I found myself

swimming through swarms of plastic bags and trash left by the day's holiday makers. Several

friends of mine once chained themselves to trees and lived in tree houses. This was done in the

hope of saving a forest (close to where I lived) from its destruction by a large mining company.

These are just some personal experiences of how humans have an unwittingly diverse affect in

the damage caused, and the changes of our climate.

Change and Combat

All of these and other experiences changed the way I lived, and how I perceived the way other

people lived, and treated our planet. I created and began to build a self-sustainable community

with several friends. We submitted all the correct documents to the local council, and were

rewarded with a reclaimed derelict house. The house was quickly renovated, and we moved in.

We grew our own fruit and vegetables; used reclaimed wood, built our own log burning stoves,

and recycled the ashes into the vegetable patches soil. Water buts harvested rain water and we

build solar panels for power. All of this was our attempt at making a change possible, and

tackling the problem of climate change.

If you are not aware of the problems, we face with our environment and pollution, then you just

might be involved in causing its destruction. This is an old adage but a true one. It is time for us

to stop being a part of the problem and instead become a part of the solution.

What control have humans had over the climate?

Our leaders hold the power and the key to solving the climate change problem. They have known

since the fifties and sixties that the earth's atmosphere was steadily warming. This as we all know

has been due to the massive increase in greenhouse gasses. They chose to do nothing about it

because of the wealth big corporations received from the sale of fuels such as oil, coal, timber

and gas.

Humans are responsible for the devastating changes to the earths ecosystems. There has been

more destruction over the last fifty years than in any another time in history. With the rapid

growth in population came a higher demand for fresh water, fibers, building materials and

endless other resources. We have now reached critical overpopulation and drastic measures are

being taken, but not as we would have expected.

Leaders around the world have already begun to effect weather patterns which could cause even

more irreducible damage. Human activity has been the primary cause of global warming, and we

are all guilty. Awareness, and a move away from the resources we have all been so reliant on for

decades is the only key to saving and controlling our planets climate.

The recent lock-downs were in par with the environmental agenda, and some named them the

environment lock-downs. The people who control this agenda are taking advantage of this

situation by controlling the populations of the world instead of educating them further.

In 2010 one hundred and ninety-four countries agreed to cut their environmental footprint by

2020 but this has now been pushed back to 2030. The United Nations also set sustainable

development goals in 2015. Whilst most countries have not achieved their goals, there are some

that have. Scotland has achieved 100% renewable electricity, with China also reaching its goals.

Germany and Denmark are also on track, along with many other European countries. The world

governments tell us everyone needs to accomplish environmental goals if we are to reverse the

devastation we have caused.

The recent changes in human behavior and consumption have been partly due to the environment

agenda, and COVID-19 has been used to stop further encroachment of human activities. Without

global environmental change the threat to eco systems and biodiversity are astronomical. Our

health along with economic development and security around the world will all suffer the

consequences, just as we are witnessing right now.

What are the solutions?

The solution to our climate change problem seems to be a combination of solar power, wind

turbines, hydro power and a massive effort worldwide to reduce our carbon footprint.

We need to reduce our use of fossil fuels and make sure they are utilized properly. The need to

stop burning coal and stop burning oil is high on the list. Many companies and people have

discovered ways to reduce our use of the earths' resources. Some examples of this would be

plastic bricks, converters for car engines, using trash for solar power, and many more. All of

these replacements for fossil fuels have been ignored for the sake of big business.

There have also been developments in the clean-up, and reuse of our oceans and rivers. This

must continue to make sure all of the plastic in the ocean is collected and recycled.

We need to develop a worldwide agenda, global recycling program to reduce our demand on

resources.

There is one outstanding deliberation here about how humans have controlled and destroyed the

climate. That would be to think about our children's' future and just what kind of environment we

will be leaving for them.
