Pollution crosses national borders and its harmful effects are often felt in locations far from the source. Climate change is currently the most pressing problem, defined as changes in climate due to human activity like fossil fuel usage that releases carbon emissions and contributes to global warming. If left unaddressed, climate change could severely impact humanity through ecological damage, extinction of species, and the loss of some nations due to rising sea levels, though any reduction in carbon emissions would help alleviate these effects.

localized in one place or within the borders of the source state. It is possible that the people in the source state may not feel its harmful effects as pollution could migrate several hundred miles; oftentimes, the harmful effects are felt elsewhere, and this is unfortunate for those suffering the impacts never had any hand in the generation of the pollution. The more pressing problem at the moment is climate change. Climate change was defined as “a change of climate that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and that is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods. One of the causes of climate change is the use of fossil fuels. Over time, industrialized nations have used fossil fuels to prop up their economies and to energize industry. Fossil fuels have high carbon emissions that contribute to global warming. Climate change is a complex problem that has the entire world scampering for a solution for it may well be too late if humanity did nothing to stop its progression. Its effects are universal and irreversible and could plunge humanity to a severe crisis which the world has not seen for a long time. It may well upset the ecological balance, resulting in the extinction of several species and the disappearance of several small countries from the map. Thus, any step toward reduction of carbon emissions will ultimately help, regardless of how little this reduction could be. Pollution cuts across national boundaries.
