Get involved in the solution

by | 01-03-2016 02:48 recommendations 0

It is very difficult to handle  a issue when it has not been solved at the right time. It spreds and can be more dangerous than ever.Climate change is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time, responsible for rising seas, raging storms, searing heat, ferocious fires, severe drought, and punishing floods. It threatens our health, communities, economy, and national security.


Worldwide, nations have begun taking steps to combat this growing threat, working toward an international agreement in which every country on earth plays its part. Many of the world's largest polluters have stepped up with significant commitments, amplified by efforts from cities, businesses, sports leagues, churches, and many other individuals and groups that have responded to the urgent need for climate action.


Here in the United States, power plants represent the single-largest source of carbon pollution, spewing two billion tons into the air each year. In response, President Obama's U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed the Clean Power Plan, which sets the first national limits on carbon pollution from power plants and provides states with the flexibility to meet them.


The plan represents the most important step the United States can take right now to combat climate change and help spur climate action around the globe, as world leaders look toward an important meeting in Paris this December. With nations working together to cap carbon pollution, expand renewable power, and embrace energy efficiency, we'll have a fighting chance at getting off this destructive path.


Time may be running out to fight climate change, but we are not running out of solutions.

    Fahad, thanks for another great article about climate change. Since reporters here are from all over the globe, it is actually difficult to be informed about specific environmental plans held in a certain country. In this aspect, I could well understand how United States is striving hard to reduce carbon emission.
    Later on, you may also show us how these acts actually worked in your country by providing statistics of pollution being cut in certain region. Or you might interview some of your friends regarding their opinion towards this plan.
    Thanks for actively uploading your articles. I really enjoy reading it. :-D
