Climate change has been a pressing issue which alters the livelihood of earthlings. Inevitably,
this
phenomenon stems from multifaceted causes that encompass open burning, urbanisation, and the greenhouse effect. Irrevocably, citizens were alarmed that the
Earth
cannot cope with the horrendous human activities, and will deplete over the years.
Therefore
, scientists have been urged to find another liveable
planet
in
this

universe.
However
, I stand by my opinion that the advent of
this
ideological approach should be exacerbated as it is intended to make mankind more ignorant of the current status of the
Earth
's well-being. Right off the bat, an intervention is paramount because even if earthlings move to another
planet
, it does not guarantee that the
planet
could support our activities and living styles.
For instance
, the
Earth
's depletion is mainly caused by our daily tasks, if we do not eradicate its root causes, the societal impact will be unmatched.
Therefore
,
instead
of looking for planetary alternatives, it is better to tackle the entrenched mindset by deterring harmful activities towards Mother Nature. Other than that, the ideological reference to moving lives to another
planet
is biased and exclusive to those with great monetary background.
For instance
, the rocket flown by Malaysia's first astronaut cost approximately 2 billion USD. It is impossible for anyone to collect that absurd amount of money without breaking banks, just to be sent to another
planet
with zero resources for living.
Additionally
, even with worldwide government funding, it is not enough to cater to the
Earth
's entire population. In conclusion, the crux of environmental meltdown could be tackled with collaborative synergies between countries' governments and non-governmental organisations.
Nevertheless
, it is integral for all individuals to shift paradigms and deter the escalation of
Earth
's climate suicide before it turns fatal.
