As obvious as it is, 2019 has had the hottest
February in the last few decades, reaching at 18 Degrees Celsius- last year at
this time, snow had settled at temperatures between 0 and 1 Degrees Celsius.
While many of us are basking in the sunlight,
sea levels are rising due to ice caps melting, carbon dioxide levels are rising
and animals are dying, close to extinction.
This is a result of human selfishness- we dump
our waste into oceans, leave a large amount of carbon footprints, and overall
are ignorant of our planet. Often, we forget we are not the only species on
earth, and the rising temperatures are not suitable for many to thrive in. Part
of our world is already in drought, and while we attempt to help via charity
for clean water, we counteract this by allowing carbon dioxide levels to rise
so dramatically, leading to more intense heat.
However, I do believe if only a small part of
us change our ways of living, there is no point to solving our issue; it is
only worth working on if all- or even the majority of us- take action.
