Reading 5 : Climate Change

                                                                       Climate Change
                       Nowadays,  from many studies , experts in climatology and other scientists are getting more serious about the climate change to our weather which are taking place . All of what happen caused from the climate will affect to human being . Many time in the past ,it has greatly been shown that disasters could killed  many people immediately. Generally , climate changes have occurs on our planet before . For instance , there have been various ice ages or glacial periods.  The climate change as we know in the past and present time are different . it seems getting stronger gradually . Many people believe that the disasters happening is cause from climate change ; but in fact , human being are the major part leading to great disaster as we have seen nowadays. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result of human activities  not just only natural causes such as deforestation and energy use, etc. The rate of change is getting alarmingly rapid.
                        The major problem is that the world appears to be warming up. As we have notice from many phenomena , global warming is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years , according to some experts. The implications for the planet are very serious . Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters , incidence of flooding and of droughts. These could have a harmful effect on agriculture and reduced it proficiency in production of crop. Every part of the world nowadays seem getting gradually great impact from climate changes. Accordingly, people have to change their way of life and be ready for all  unpredictable natural changes in the near future , for their safety of properties and lives. It is thought that this warming of earth has been caused by greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide emitted in to the air by many ways such factories or car engines. Gas is not only emitted to the atmosphere but also create a greenhouse effects which leads to the warming up of the planet.
                           Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now annual summits on the theme of global warming climate involved , attended by representatives from around 180 of the world 's industrialized countries . Of these summits ,the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997.There is a agreement that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emission and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.There was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create the planet shelter from greenhouse gases effects. Because of all climate changes  caused from deforestation , reforestation finally must be arranged to prevent the  disasters.
