What’s Causing The Ice Caps To Melt?

The question is, “What’s causing the ice caps to melt?”

I’ve heard that the ice caps are melting due to climate change.

Now climate change is the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane that’s in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Scientists claim it’s caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation which evidently is caused by human activity. However, I believe that erupting volcanoes have also contributed to this issue.

Then there’s the visitors from out of space. Now I’m sure that their space craft emissions are also contributing to this too. Maybe someone should have a word!

“Prevention rather than cure,” is my motto.

But anyways it doesn’t matter who’s causing it. If this was as urgent as the scientists claim then why have no drastic measures been put in place.

Across the globe there should be a total ban on tree felling, the burning, of coal, wood or any other material and no more petrol or diesel vehicles. We should all be using solar powered or electric vehicles by now especially in this new age of technology.

So why are we still living in the past?

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?

If Earth Evolves, Can We Adapt?

The question is, “If Earth Evolves, Can We Adapt?”

It’s said that we are in the midst of climate change. We’ve all experienced unusual weather patterns at some point in our life.

On some occasions in the UK, we’ve experienced a few different seasons in one day; from sun, followed by rain then sleet or snow. Some countries suffer extreme weather conditions, flooding, drought, tornados.

So, is climate change really causing this extreme weather or is our planet evolving?

With the Moon moving away from us by four centimetres each year and the Earth’s rotation slowing down, what will happen next?

Nobody knows, but one thing’s for sure humans are great with adapting to any given situation.

So, with that in mind could humans evolve?

I believe so as our survival instinct is strong, it’s just that we haven’t had to use it yet. But hey, that’s just my opinion, what do you think?
