Environmental Changes
By Starr Perkins
Environmental changes are affecting us more than we are letting on. For example wildfires, they are happening everywhere and California and it is only getting worse. “What are we doing here? When the air is red and the street lights are on at noon, we ask this question. When there are twenty-three major fires burning at once throughout California , and seventeen thousand firefighters battling them, we ask this question. When a firefighter dies in a blaze begun during a gender reveal party…” State in the article titled “All That Could Burn” This clearly tells us that we are the cause of these wildfire because we throw social gatherings with things that are flammable and we know that but refuse to ignore the precautions so why people have a gender reveal party there are firefighters all around California trying to stop something that we caused. There are some things that we just shouldn’t do because we don't know what affects and can cause the environment, some can be bad and some could be good but in this case things are not okay. Cause and Effect, a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other or others. Wait! I’m stopping right there because that's all the information we need. We cause things by making poor decisions and with that leads to blogger actions that result in huge damage. Rumors spread like wildfire they hold a strong ground and burn almost everything around you until firefighters put the flame out. “On August 16th, an electrical storm hit California. In twenty-two hours, the state was struck by lightning eleven thousand times. The storm brought no rain but sparked hundreds of fires.” That is another example of cause and effect to the environment, electricity malfunctions can spark fires at anywhere and anytime that is why it is important to be cautious of your surroundings because you never know what could happen. “When smoke overtook the region, a decision was made to harvest many grapes early, given the possibility of smoke taint.” This right here affects the environment in so many ways but it really endangers our produce and lowers our food supply. When food or something that is edible becomes tainted then it is no longer good to eat and considering that wildfires are indeed a part of nature and climate we could be in big trouble. Wars affect the environment in many ways, “Those who attack America’s exceptional are not interested tional environmental record while ignoring China’s rampant pollution and are not interested in the environment. They only want to punish America , and I will not stand for it.” Stated in the article “When the U.S. and China Fight, It Is the Environment That Suffers” Trump criticism is not self-serving and not entirely wrong. There is a possibility that if we potentially go into war it could be really bad for the environment and a complete change in climate. “As China moves to become more self sufficient economically, Washington’s leverage over the country’s development and environmental standards are most likely to decline.” Meaning Wahsington environmental standards will decrease and will not be as strong as China which is a win for China but a loss for Washington. “Yet Washington’s attempt to decouple the U.S. and Chinese economies will only make matters worse.” Interfering with other countries' economic plans can really be bad on your part considering your economic situation isn’t that good but they could become conflict between Washington and China. “Despite China’s growing commitment to environmental protection and huge investments in renewable energy- more than 45 percent of the world’s total in 2017.” According to the Global Commission on Geopolitics of Energy. Our environment is suffering because of the decisions that we and our countries make against the people who we should be coming together with in order to make the world a better place. All of us need to come together and fight for what really matters which is our economy and safety. “Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.” Says theblaze.com So it seems like we have to worry more about the climate then the environment itself. 2020 just keeps getting better and better each day.
What’s next? Oh look! There's more, "Main Senate race." People are running for a race to improve the environment. That should be promising.
Right?
