GLOBAL WARMING: ALL ASPECTS
SOLUTIONS AND STATISTICS
"A LIFE ON OUR PLANET"
In David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet documentary, biologist and broadcaster Attenborough shared his opinions and thoughts on maturing in a world that is dying. Continuing his life story as a man of adventure, he shares the proven fact that “The Summer Sea ice in the Arctic has reduced by 40% in 40 years. Our planet is losing its ice. The most pristine and distant of ecosystems is headed for disaster.” As the toxicity level of gas rises, the heat has been trapped within the atmosphere of the earth thus causing global temperatures to rise.
EPA
Although the world is currently fighting to find a permanent solution to global warming, problems awoke and action had to be taken. The United States Environmental Protection Agency, otherwise known as “EPA” is an independent agency that was constructed by former president Richard Nixon in 1970. Despite the fact that the EPA was born prior to present day knowledge regarding the spread of environmental issues, the purpose and strength of the organization grew and conducted an informative book titled, Climate Change Effects on Stream and River: Biological Indicators: A Preliminary Analysis. In this research-filled book, the main idea the EPA recognizes is the importance of ecosystems being connected to the health of rivers and streams. According to the EPA, air temperatures in the world have increased “0.6 degrees celsius within the last 30 years, and 0.8 degrees celsius over the last century.”
DESPITE REPEATED WARNINGS
Within the past century, multitudes of organizations, clubs and activists have gathered together to form an alliance against government officials who deny the truth of global warming. Sing/songwriter Paul McCartney delivered a song to the public titled "Despite Repeated Warnings" that showed a direct symbolization between the mad captain and the iceberg to the problems the world faces with global warming. In the opening verse McCartney sings, “Despite repeated warnings, Out danger’s up ahead, the captain won’t be listening to what’s being said…” (0:01-0:24).
