A Worst Case Scenario

by: OL-E9

Scorching sun; strong winds; and destructive typhoons, natural events that commonly happens in the Earth. These often cause tragedies that affect many people's lives. Yet, how can these types of happenings occur in our planet and what causes these?

Climate change is a certain event that occurs when the change in the statistical properties of the climate system is considered over long periods of time and because of this, the temperature of the Earth gradually increases and decreases. Most commonly strong typhoons and extremely hot weather happens here. This is due to global warming. It is the major cause on why these kinds of catastrophes happen on the planet. Our natural resources are affected because of the activities of men. Illegal logging is the most common here. Loggers cut trees to have     a living for their family yet, it has major consequence to our environment.  Trees use the carbon dioxide that we breathe out to make their food through the process of photosynthesis. This lessens the amount of the gas that affects our atmosphere. 

Chlorofluorocarbon or CFC is a harmful gas that contains carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. This came from cooling units and devices and industrial plants. The gas also occurs as by-products of some chemical processes. This kind of gas is the reason why there is a greenhouse effect. A greenhouse effect is a natural event that is particular to a greenhouse. Heat is trapped within the planet causing high temperatures in many areas. When this happens, many tragedies may occur like: El Nino, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, etc.

Disasters happen when climate change occurs and because of this, our lives may be affected. These may wreck our planet and make it not a wonderful place to live in. Giving importance to our environment may make a change even if it will take a long matter of time. No one knows what the future may bring to us and to the people in the next generation. Yet, it is still in our hands so that the planet that we live in may become a world of paradise.
