Climate change one of the topics in science and technology. However, climate is one of the aspects on the science and technology which has affected the manner in which different activities are carried out. On the other hand, climate change has been able to affect the lives of both plants and animals. Different measures should be put in place for the purposes of ensuring that the lives of the plants and animals are safeguarded hence making it easy for the plants and animals to live accordingly. Different human activities have been carried out therefore increasing the cases of climate change. (Genschow, 2019)

For the purposes of ensuring that the climate change in different countries is effectively managed, the human activities should be controlled for the purposes of ensuring that the effects brought about to the environment are effectively controlled. However, the people should be able to control the activities hence making it easy for the plants and animals to live accordingly. Climate change according to the article has brought about negative impacts to the environment and their measures have been put in place to reduce the cases of global warming. The improved technology in the planet has been one of the causes of the of the climate changes. Moreover, the increased industrialization in our environment has led to the climate changes due to the production of different gases. The gases produced in the industries have led to greenhouse effects in different countries therefore some plants and animals have ended up dying.

Again, the industrialization in different countries has led to production of excessive carbon dioxide. When the excessive carbon dioxide is exposed to the environment, it leads pollution to the environment therefore chances of global warming are high. The article has made it clear that global climate change has been brought about by the burning of fossil fuels and hence global warming has increased in the environment. Moreover, the sea levels have increased due to the melting of ice. On the other hand, climate change has led to increased storms and droughts and therefore the governments from each countries should be able to come up with international actions for the purposes of ensuring that the greenhouse gases are reduced therefore making it easy for the environment to be taken care of.

The international actions by the government will again ensure that the dire climate changes experienced are prevented hence enabling the plants and animals to live accordingly. Moreover, my opinion in this topic is that the government should educate the members of the public on the matters related to the climate changes. The public education will again play important roles in ensuring that the people understand the issues related to the environment hence making it easy for the plants and animals live accordingly.

According to my opinion, the measures should ensure that the environment is safeguarded for the purposes of ensuring that the issues affecting both plants and animals are addressed in the best way possible. The education should again ensure that the human activities leading to the increased climate changes are reduced hence ensuring that the production of the poisonous gases in the environment is reduced. Moreover, I think that the government should come up with ways of ensuring that the poisonous gases production as a result of the increased industrialization are purified and hence used in a way that will help in building the environment. (Douglas, 2019)

The three premises which oppose my opinion are that:

• Global warming and cooling are primarily caused by fluctuations in the sun’s heat (solar forcing), not by human activities

• The rate of global warming has slowed over the last decade even though atmospheric Carbon dioxide continues to increase

• Sea levels have been steadily rising for thousands of years and the increase has nothing to do with humans

The three reasons have opposed my opinions that the climate changes is not necessarily brought by human activities. However, my stand is that human activities have controlled the causes of the climate changes in different countries. On the other hand, the rate of global warming in different countries has increased due to the increased production of carbon dioxide. The increased carbon dioxide is from the burning of fossil fuels as well the increased industrialization in the entire world.

As far as the view is concerned, I found it interesting the manner in which the causes of the climate changes have been analyzed. This has made be aware of the ways in which the climate changes can be reduced for the purposes of ensuring that both plants and animals live accordingly. I have noticed that I believed the view in that I have been putting place different programs for the purposes of ensuring that the environment is protected. The protection of the environment has helped in ensuring that the plants are not dying. The idea might be true especially when the environment is protected through the planting of different trees which aid in reducing the levels of the carbon dioxide. (Balint, 2019)
