The climate change has been known since the middle of the 1950’s, according to Marika. I think it’s hard for anyone to escape this fact. Everyone knows about the climate change today, or at least have heard of it. But still there’s not so much done about it. Why is this?
If it has been known for so long, why is it that we are still destroying our world? Maybe it wasn’t for everyone to know, to start with? Did the scientists know what it was that made the change? Did they tell? It took several years for us ordinary people to find out, and realize, how significant this was for the environment. The scientist that discovered the climate change did not cry out this alarming thing that was about to happen. Now we do now and there are still not much done.
I think that many people think that it doesn’t matter what they do, because one man can’t make a difference. So they go on doing their thing. I also believe that many people think that the climate change has natural causes. The climate has always gone in cycles, and that’s what is happening right now. We’re only in a change in the cycle, and it’s nothing we can do about it! We have not been exposed to the climate change yet. A reason for peoples’ unawareness can be that we haven’t seen, or it has hardly been noted, that there is a climate change in coming! And when we notice, it is too late!
Maybe it was neglected at first when many people/industries saw the negative consequences this would bring. If you have to make drawbacks in some of your productions, because they are polluting the environment, then maybe you close your eyes, shut your ears and pretend that it is raining? I think that is what many industries have done. They will go on with their pollution until there is a law saying you can’t anymore. (Even then many factories ignore the laws and rather pay the fines instead).
Money is the most important factor in this battle towards a cleaner environment. If it wasn’t for the money, the factories/industries wouldn’t continue this disastrous way. Profit is of course what drives the industries further, but often at the expense of the environment.
The car industries make cars that run on diesel and gasoline when there is much more “improved” fuel they can choose from. Fuel that is not that dangerous to the atmosphere like these oil based energies. But the oil companies are very powerful. They force the car industries to still make cars that run on diesel and gasoline. If the car factories made more (or only) “green” cars, then the oil companies would go bankrupt. All these companies ignore the facts of the climate change.
We have to do something about this of course! But who is going to take action. Even most of the politicians are ignorant when it comes to climate change!
Hello Annelie,
SvaraRaderaIt was really interesting to read your thoughts about the climate change - you have another wider perspective than I have in my blog, and that made me think in a different way, too. Thank you!
Your text is well structured and follows the rules of a causal text: at the end of the introduction there is a question and then you answer the question in the following paragraphs. You keep to the theme and discuss one possible reason in each of the following paragraphs.
The language you use is appropriate for this kind of text, I believe. It is advanced and varied, and your use of vocabulary within this area is very good!
Finally, again, I must say I really enjoyed reading your blog and I will most definetely read more from you!
Happy Easter!
Anna Enebrink
