Climate change is burning issues of today world . According to book A Bright Future ,written by Joshua S.Goldstein and Staffan A .Qvist ,we need to distinguish two types of climate change .One is the kind of effects we already see or expect to see soon and that climate scientists warned about decades ago -rising sea levels,more frequent large hurricanes,more floods and droughts and wildfires,record heat waves,and such . When people say ,Climate change is already here , these are the effects they refers to. Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the California drought, the Russian wildfires and those in the western US states,the European flooding , and the super typhoon in the Philippines are all recent examples of extreme weather in the Philippines are all recent examples of extreme weather of the type global warming makes more likely.Climate change is here now does not convey the reality that climate change in the coming years will be far , far worse than today’s extreme weather.

 The second type of climate change is the potential , tipping points ,that cause truly catastrophic shifts .These are still uncertain ,and we may not know we have gone over the edge into irreversible shifts until it is way too late to do anything about it. We might have more time or turn out to be okay ,but this is a terrible  gamble to make.To invite a sub-stantial possibly of catastrophic tipping points would be extremely irresponsible.

I recommend all of you to through this book to uplift knowledge on climate change , what we can follow from countries like Sweden ,Germany who have been success to reduce climate change and how we can solve the climate change issue globally .
