Global Warming Symposium

An impending doomsday was outlined by the global warming report issued by international scientists during a meeting in Brussels, Belgium on April 6th. Due to the buildup of greenhouse gases caused by human activity, severe environmental and political consequences have been scientifically predicted to occur as soon as 2015.

If temperatures rise a mere 3.6 degrees above our current average temperatures, a third of our planet’s species will become extinct. Predictions determine arid environments to dry further while other areas to flood, creating dramatic shifts in the environmental balances, ultimately destroying habitats and causing the demise of these affected creatures.

Human tolls will be suffered alongside of the innocent environment and the beings inside, as “hunger, thirst, floods, and disease” will bring mass suffering, especially to already poor people. Droughts will wipe out major food crops that feed millions of people, leaving a great void in the food sources supplying places such as Africa and Asia. Melting glaciers will cause shorelines to increase, swallowing up low-lying cities and putting millions out of their homes.

Denial remains to be the easiest way to cope with the apocalyptic future that scientists predict. Many politicians, scientists, and citizens continue to ignore the dangers of our changing environment, and the faults that the human race has in our world’s destruction. Even after this crucial symposium held to raise awareness and share information, these important issues are still generally ignored by mass media, as people prefer to lose themselves in less meaningful news.

We must all become aware of the damages we inflict upon our planet and the consequences we will suffer if no changes are made. Hhtp://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/scientists-issue-global-warming-report/20070406074309990001 is a great article on the international meeting held and the points made by the committee, and other articles on the statements made by scientists on global warming are easily available, and crucial for our awareness.

Goals: To raise awareness about the Global Warming symposium held and the predictions made my scientists.
Audience: Every human being.
How these goals are met: I included information about the symposium and described and explained some of the predictions made. I elaborated on why we should all care and where to find more information, urging readers to continue raising awareness.
