have much time to take precautions because CO2 levels have reached threatening levels, glaciers are melting, forests are burning, and the climate is changing. Veysel Abdullah Tekin References: http://www.cnnturk.com/guncel.konular/nasa/294/ Climate scientists are not hopeful about the future, and in order to explain global warming they devised a disaster chart which everyone can understand easily. According to the disaster chart: http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzul_%C3%87a%C4%9F%C 4%B1 1) If the Earth warms 1 more degree, there will be no wheat left in the global grain reservoirs. http://goo.gl/Uvxmw7 http://t24.com.tr/haber/nasa-kuresel-isinmanin-son132-yilini-26-saniyede-anlatti,213179 Photos were taken from the following links: http://goo.gl/1DCZZT 2) If the Earth warms 2 more degrees, all coral reefs will die. 3) If the Earth warms 3 more degrees, there will be sandstorms in Paris. 4) If the Earth warms 4 more degrees, the world will be teeming with climate refugees. 5) If the Earth warms 5 more degrees, New York will be swallowed up by waters. 6) If the Earth warms 6 more degrees, the Earth will return to its condition during the Mesozoic Age. Key here is that there is no way back after 2C of warming. If warming continues like this, great disasters are awaiting the Earth. Some of these are famines, floods, and uncontrollable forest fires. However, we refuse to change. In fact, everybody knows his or her duty. There is no need to talk about these responsibilities. What we need is to change the way we see nature. Let’s change things! beewriter ITU Writing Center Student Magazine 11
