Earth in crisis:
global warming and climate change
By simply experiencing the hotter temperatures in Hawaii, one can easily come to the conclusion that global warming and climate change are rapidly progressing phenomena. A major factor for global warming and climate change is overpopulation — the world’s population stands at a staggering 7.3 billion people. That translates into about 220,000 people added to the world’s population on a daily basis adding to the stresses of Mother Nature.
With more people added to the world population numbers, more burning of fossil fuels takes place, rapidly depleting Earth’s oh so important ozone layer. Recent reports state that approximately 400,000 people die annually because of climate change.
It is rather sad that overpopulation is hardly heard off in media in this current day and age, for it is a humongous crisis that planet Earth faces today. If not dealt with, perhaps global warming and climate change will progress even more rapidly, resulting in more deaths annually because of climate change.
