The world is certainly getting warmer and no one disputes that. The global warming does not refer to a far-flung future and its impacts are appearing right now. Personally speaking, I maintain that this is such an urgent issue that immediate action should be taken to restore the balance.
Startling evidence has shown recently that the impact of industrialization on environment over the last decades has been profoundly harmful. It is a fact that greenhouse gases' levels were never so high as today. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and power plants, to name but a few and methane emitted from landfills have increased at an alarming rate. The greenhouse effect results in trapping heat in earth' s atmosphere which affects the world 's ice caps and glaciers making them melt. Low-lying areas are bound to face floodings and population may need to be displaced. Furthermore, althoughthe average precipitation/ rainfalls has increased over the last years, the overheated globe has to deal with fiercer storms and certain areas have already been hit by extensive drought. Thus, farmers will reap smaller harvests, meaning that the prices of foods may spiral upwards.
Each and every one of us must contribute to protecting the environment. Simple steps, such as purchasing energy efficient devices, recycling properly and turning off the lights when they are not needed, can make the difference. Parents should raise eco-conscious children and foster certain values (you said the same thing with eco-conscious->such as environmental consciousness) to make youngsters protect the environment which surrounds us. Last, but the most important one is for the state which carries the main burden, not only to take conservationist measures and impose hefty taxes on polluting power plants, but also to launch campaigns to raise people 's awareness and organize talks at schools. The young generation is often said to lack interest in enviromental issues, but as far as I am concerned, I argue that all they need is to be given the chance and the right encouragement from their social environment/ circles/ adults (to avoid the repetition of the word environment).
To all intents and purposes, it should be reiterated that the climate change affects our lives and something must be done to tackle this challenge. It is a matter of life and death and we must succeed if we want to live a healthy and peaceful life.
Great work Vassilis, as always! 13/15! :-)
