A global warming conference held in Belgium on Friday warned of the serious effects of climate change if we don't do something now. They reported that the poorest countries will suffer most, predicting that Africa will be hit hardest. The report predicted:
-increased hunger is Asia and Africa
-extinction of 30% of our species is temperatures rise
-dry areas will be at higher risks of disease and hunger
-all areas will be at greater risk of floods, storms and erosion
Experts say the problems can be solved, but it will cost trillions to fix on a global level. Will it be done? Will our government and others around the world really work together to fix this? We have done serious damage to our planet and now it's our job to fix it, by actually doing something instead of just talking about it. The end could indeed be nearer than we think. Maybe not in our generation, but maybe in our childrens' or grandchildrens' generations. We've worked so hard to progress as a society, but all of that has come at a serious cost. Could we have brought upon our very demise? I certainly hope not. A serious change would do us good, otherwise the future looks pretty grim.

I agree with you completely, maybe people haven't noticed the radical changes that have gone on in the past few years...hello we have had some of the most destructive hurricans in the past decade than in our entire nation's history. I dont think it is just a coincidence...people need to look at the big picture and realize we aren't helping the situation. : )
