Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

The looming threat of

climate

change

and its effect on our planet and our ways of life is a recognized topic in the modern world. Experts have different perspectives regarding how to cope with

this

issue. Some state that it should be mitigated even at great costs, others believe that humans should be flexible enough to accept it and

change

their methods of living. I agree with the former point of view and I think

climate

change

can be considered as one of the hardest challenges of our existence as a specie. In

this

essay, I will try to illustrate my reasons and draw a conclusion based on them. On the one hand, it is short-sighted to assume that

climate

change

is only going to affect human beings.

For instance

, the rising temperatures have decreased the number of glaciers and ice caps at the north pole, destroying the habitats of numerous animals

such

as polar bears to the extent that most of them are now considered highly threatened.

Therefore

, since we are solely responsible for

this

phenomenon, we should take action to stop it and simply altering our life will be cruel to countless other living being on

this

blue pale dot.

Moreover

, the changes that

climate

change

will bring to the geopolitical situation have the potential to lead to wars, famines, and other humanitarian disasters.

For example

, one of the most agreed-upon consequences of a developed greenhouse

climate

regime is the

change

in the patterns of rainfalls to more extreme conditions. Certain areas will start to experience much more rainfall,

while

others will undergo decades of dry spells.

Consequently

, governments might go to war in order to gather the required resources of their states. I believe

this

is a catastrophe for a specie that has flourished on

this

planet for aeons. To summarize,

climate

change

not only affects us in various ways

such

as wars and famines, but

also

endangers the life of other living creatures.

Thus

, accepting the unforeseeable circumstances of a planet with higher temperatures

while

it can be avoided does not appear to be an acceptable path. I think that preventing

climate

change

should be a top priority for any governmental body and new rules must be legislated to curb

this

issue.
