Task 01

Global warming, climate change is happening right now, and I believe there is no solid answer to the problem. After researching different topics regarding global warming and climate change, both human and nature related, I think both are to blame, both contribute to the changes.

The world being made up of humans or are continuously wanting to 'improve' their world in order to improve on their living, the world had dramatically changed from when it first began (as shown on record), so there is no doubt that we have polluted the air, with the amount on nuclear factories, power plants, the amount of cars driven every day around the world (which is multiplying all the time) is all contributing to the amount of polluted air. A good example of those is China, you can visibly see some cities blanketed in thick, toxic pollution and they are so used to it they simply put on a face mask and go to work or school everyday, almost ignoring the fact that this is not the norm. This is because of the need for more factories to build their products, which they sell all over the world for a very cheap price, continuing the need to improve their cities value.

After watching the documentary "The Age of Stupid" I thought yes, we must be the problem here. But when I happened to watch another documentary on "Do we need the moon?" it changed my mind. I still do believe that we are a massive factor to the air pollution, there is way too much evidence that agrees with this and to me, makes sense, to deny this, but we have to also factor in the natural changes of the earth, which are also contributing to the climate change.

With nature taking it's own course, it is making a huge impact on our climate. Research has shown that the moon is moving further away from the earth, the more the moon moves away the more it will tilt over. This is a big deal, as it is what is keeping us in place, if it tilts only ten percent more we will be more like Mars, wobbling all over the place. Once upon a time, the moon was a lot closer to the earth, but after many years it is on a sort of spiral journey, moving further away. This is being monitored by scientists who are sending billions of lasers up to the moon and counting how many are sent back. Looking at past records, this shows that it is getting further away. 

As the moon is moving further away, the seasons are changing, you can see this for yourself. If you think over the years, way back when you were a child, how much snow there would be in December, and how there was a definite change in the seasons. But now it is not so much. WE have snow in February, almost the end of winter, summer is now leading in to October, which should be the start of Autumn. This is affecting animals, plants, crops, evolution will not be able to keep up with the seasons change if the earth tips any further. 

In conclusion, though there is no definitive answer to "saving the world", we can sure help keep it is as healthy and as strong as possible, for as long as possible, pro-longing life for many more millions of years to come, setting up a good environment for the future residents of our earth. This can be done, improving the air pollution in every country, which we already know can happen, we just need some one to take control and start acting.
