Climate change is a phenomenon that affects countries all over the world. Many people strongly believe that it is the responsibility of individuals, rather than corporations and governments, to deal with this problem. To what extent do you agree?

In recent years, global warming has been receiving a great deal of media attention around the world due to its substantial impacts on human life.

Although

individuals have to take the responsibility to cope with

climate

change

, I agree that corporations and governments always play a key role because of their greater responsibility and capacity. There are a number of reasons why corporations and governments could tackle

climate

change

better than individuals who do not have enough power and capacity to make changes worldwide.

First

, governments have the ability to affect large systematic

change

for global warming by enacting legislation requiring both locals and corporations to abide by certain restrictions.

For example

, governments introduce laws for corporations to reduce and recycle effective waste before sending them to the environment, which

can be seriously countered.

Second

, corporations, especially in the manufacturing and mining industries, should support financially to cope with the increasing temperature in the world as they are operating for business and directly contributing to

climate

change

.

Therefore

, it can be implied that if corporations were not held accountable for their contribution to global warming, the issue of

climate

change

would inevitably be exacerbated.

On the other hand

, individuals could support compacting

correlating with the governments,

however

, they could only deal with local and personal problems. The inhabitants do not have the rights to issue policies or laws to make great impacts worldwide, so they can do small things for their communities.

For instance

, people follow strict orders from the government,

such

as walking or taking public transportation rather than using private vehicles in order to reduce traffic congestion, travel time, air pollution and energy consumption which increase

change

.

In addition

, people should have to worry about personal problems as well as living costs, so they would focus on their life

first

before protecting the environment on a large scale. It should be noticed that governments have many responsibilities to tackle global warming, which is part of the basic security towards their citizens to make the world a better place. In conclusion, actively combating global warming must be regarded as top priority given the highest urgency. Governments and corporations worldwide should take steps to ensure that

climate

remains at bay rather than individuals.
