Abstract

The world has become so fragile that we cannot subject the earth to the torches we now inflict upon it. We are actually tampering with the climate of the earth and with the very atmosphere that we breathe in. Coral reefs are being bleached and the soil is being dirtied.Not only are we piling in more and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere but we are chopping down the sinks, the forests of the earth at a great rate.These problems are certainly matters of life and death. They go to the root of the viability of the planet itself, making the Earth a lot less habitable.We are facing issues that transcend the boundaries of nations. When we talk about the greenhouse effect, we are talking about something that affects the entire Earth.The entire human race is facing the same problems.It is important for the world to get together to face the challenges head on as one single unit, be it the problems with the ocean, with the atmosphere, with the population, or with pollution. The only way we can solve a problem is by human solution: a cooperative solution.
