ventually, a different fixation overtook extreme weather, and another after that. Such is the pattern of categorical learners. It may have been sharks before the Titanic, or the other way around—I’ve forgotten. Two years have passed since we saw “Nature’s Fury”; a year and a half since our president led the US to withdraw from the Paris climate accords. The boy is seven now, what Jesuits call “the age of reason.” The girl is five and learning to read. If current trends continue, the world is projected to be 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels by the time they reach their late twenties. The scientific community has long held two degrees Celsius to be an irreversible tipping-point. Two degrees of global warming, according to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), marks climate catastrophe.
I was surprised that this paragraph is exactly regarding the topic I wrote for my social commentary essay. Writing my essay, I learned so much about what disaster would happen and how the end of the world comes as result of global warming. Intuitionally, we could think the increase of 1 or 2 degree is not a big deal. We could think it is 'just' 2 degrees but is isn't just marginal increase. Our earth is very sensitive to climate change so if the increase of climate really happens, weather anomalies such as heat waves, heavy rains, and fine dust will occur more and more frequently and drought will be everywhere resulting us to lose all the food resources. Unless any food-substitution is invented, we are all put the death because of famine. This is very serious problem. Since I am reading this article after writing my essay, my fury and anxiety penetrate deeply into my heart. Now I once more awakened why we should confront the global warming issue.
