ResponderEliminarOur planet is in a moment to be taken care of since, during all these years, we humans have not looked for it and this will have serious consequences.
ResponderEliminarRight now we humans are realizing everything we have done and we are trying to correct those things but I think it is too late, that we can avoid having more consequences but it has already had some times, such as climate change, which is causing other problems like the poles are melting then the sea level is rising.
Hopefully all this ends and stops once and for nature to continue its cycle and we give all the damage we have done to the planet.
Climate Change is not a thing of today, nor of yesterday, nor of the day before yesterday; is a
ResponderEliminarconsequence caused for many years.
In those times when it was known that it was a reality, anyone who claimed
that Climate Change was something existing was taken by a madman, people with power,
the politicians hid or passed from this fact.
The origin of this misfortune is due to many things, most of the fault has it
the human being

Over the years the pollution has grown, this has caused many changes in the environment. Imbalances in some parts such as many floods and, on the other hand, many droughts. Some acid rains, pollution of the seas, this has caused the death of many animals.
Summers in Spain are very hot, for example this year Granada has reached a maximum temperature of 45 degrees and an average of more than 25 degrees. This is a big problem since in summer it is not rainy, this causes great droughts. In the mountains, that is why many fires happen and also there are some careless people who leave glass bottles and when the sun shines on them for a long time it causes a fire and also if it is in a dry area it can cause a big fire.
