Hello, my name is sincere_atom and today I will be answering the question " Is it too late to build back greener?"
Lets look back at last year and its climate problems.
In 2020 the amount of co2 (carbon dioxide) reached record levels of 417 parts per million in May. The last time this happened it was 4 million years ago and global temperatures were 2-4c warmer than they should have been! This information has also lead people to believe that climate change is just part of earths cycle as it has already happened and humans did survive.
Now time the answer the big question.
Well, it is really quite debatable whether we can change anything, but what we do know is that over the lockdowns scientists have really seen a massive impact on climate change. They saw that there was much less pollution in the air as people were using cars less and factories were not working as much as before. We also saw that the water in lakes and rivers was much cleanier as people were using them less. So there is evidence that we could stop climate change, but some others have different opinions about this.
While we have seen change in the earths climate, it can also be debated that it is too late, as research has shown that if we do not do anything about climate change in the next 9- 20 years that the tempertures will just rise too much and we will have to call it to an end. People are worried about this as they do not believe that we will have enough time to completely wipe out climate change in those years we have left.
In conclusion, I think that we could build back greener because what we have seen during the period of lockdown, and what has happened over the past 2 years, we have a great oppurtunity to help save our amazing planet. What do you think?
