Climate change has to be dealt with. Otherwise, mankind and other species will face calamity.
FARGO — A majority of scientists say climate change is taking place. They say if nothing is done to slow it down, it will be a disaster to our planet.
Tragically, there are people who say climate change is a hoax created by the scientists mentioned above. These same critics don’t want to hear about moving away from fossil fuels and other greenhouse gases. According to them, moving away from fossil fuels and greenhouse gases will destroy the economy of the world.
On the contrary, if we don’t move away from fossil fuels and greenhouse gases (which contribute immensely to global warming), it will bring the world economy down to its knees.
I stand with the majority of scientists, partly because I see no reason why they should fabricate untrue stories about climate change and partly because we already have seen the signs of climate change all around the globe.
Climate change has to be dealt with. Otherwise, mankind and other species will face calamity.
