Climate Change

Currently, from a humanitarian perspective, we are facing our biggest crisis to date. This
is global warming. Our environment is continually weakening while we do nothing. It is not only
causing disasters now, but it will continue to intensify unless serious action is taken. Weve
already witnessed countless costly effects in our very own communities. Weve seen personal
health get worse, along with intensifying climates. Prevalent domestic issues such as wildfires,
droughts, floodings are beginning to become a frequent occurrence as a result of such change.
These disasters directly influence every aspect of society. We are finding constant decline
in diversity of various animal species globally due to unhealthy habitats caused by the rapid rise
in temperature. To ensure the wildlifes survival we must end climate change so we dont have to
put our natural resources in risk. We are noticing significant health implications, severance to
food supplies, and changes to plant and animal ecosystems.
Ive seen the effects of global warming with my own eyes, and its quite dreadful. Ive
been fortunate to have traveled to many places around the world and through that I have clearly
seen how climate change affects the world at large. I would observe people in Egypt burning
fields of trash resulting to an influx of pollution. I felt like I was suffocating due to the
contaminated air. I just knew this was harming the environment. Ever since this experience, I

Eldomiaty
knew it was unethical to treat the earth in such a way. I remember the moment being quite
graphic and alarming.
My grandma was another central figure who kept me informed about environmental
issues. I recall this one time when she sat me down and told me some of the potential
consequences of climate change. The results left me in disbelief. I came out of that extensive sit
down with an earful of facts and figures. This chat really shaped my interest as well as my
perspective in this topic. With that being said, Im also passionate as it is concerns the well-being
of our future.
Global Warming is a consequential issue that everyone should be informed about in this
day and age. The severity of the problem is evident and has shown that it has the potential to
harm us all. We must take cautious steps to ensure the safety of our people and our surroundings.
This problem affects the earth in its entirety, along with everything that it hosts. If things
continue to progress worse and worse like it has been for the past couple decades, then we will
see more of the same conflicting damage. There would be an increase in extreme weather such as
droughts, wildfires, floodings, but if we take the initiative, we hope to see beneficial changes to
our society that we didnt even know existed. This is a very important issue that should not be
taken lightly.
After extensive research, I found the biggest contributor of credible information
regarding global warming to be Al Gore. He is responsible for starting this long, overdue
conversation of climate change. I occasionally sit down and listen to his speeches to gather new
opinions on climate change, which I find myself to agree with most of the time. Listening to him
makes me realize the importance of keeping the environment clean and safe. The former vicepresident and environmentalist has a very clear cut stance on the environment. The passion he

Eldomiaty
exerts in his field of study is inspiring. He appears at major environmental summits to advocate
combating climate change.
Alongside Al Gore, another influential figure and big contributor of mine is Elon Musk. I
have learned countless lessons from this successful entrepreneur and engineer. Elon Musk is
prominent to me and my inquiry as he expressed the significance of living environmentally
friendly. His progressive and visionary ideas have revolutionized the way we use our energy.
Elon Musk is responsible for creating a commercial electric car that will soon dominate the
market. Hes been awarded several exceptional recognitions due to his superb scientific and
philanthropic achievements. His attitudes toward the environment mirrors the attitude of my
own. We also both stress notion of implementing a carbon tax on countries to urge them to
switch from fossil fuels to sustainable energy. Elon Musk has made significant scientific
breakthroughs in the environment saving this earth as we know it.
In the end, the most convincing voices were the various global organizations determined
to combat global warming and make this earth healthy. I believe they provided the most relevant
and persuasive answer to my inquiry. They also possess the most passion and interest in the
environmental field. If I might add myself, I would like to intensify environmental regulations
and place strict sanctions on anyone who tries to harm the environment. I would like to only see
electric cars operating by 2030. We the people must do everything in our power to change our
current system. I would like to see more cities today try to emulate Singapores philosophy
concerning the environment. They do not waste nor do they liter, which is the main reason why
its the cleanest city in the world. I want this to be a major issue that all politicians and countries
take seriously.

When starting this project, I wasnt that knowledgeable in this field. Soon enough with
research, I slowly began exploring and learning the environment and its ecosystems. I can now
truly appreciate all the understandings pertaining to environmental world. From now on I will
make conscious, environmental decisions in everything I do because I sincerely value the health
of this earth. Through the discoveries I made, I found out that it is not rocket science to battle
global warming. I hope the readers understand the severity of this issue at hand and hope they
can do the maximum to raise awareness and prevent further problems. This isnt correlated to my
research per say but I remain curious about life on Mars. Ive always wondered if there is in fact
water on Mars, and if there was would it be sustainable for living? Ive done countless
hypotheticals revolving around what if statements about potentially living on mars. To my
knowledge, if there is water on Mars then the planet could possibly be life to human habitat. One
main obstacle to overcome is the extremely cold weather conditions.
