Climate Change Concerns Are Overdramatized : : The World’s Environment Will Heal Itself Presentation By: Mustaffa Khair Johari | Awang Syazuan Shafiq Awang Jaya“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” - Gretha Thunberg, ‘At the UN Climate Action Summit on September 23, 2019,Climate ? + Long-term alteration of temperature and ty weather patterns in a place. It could refer to a particular location or the planet as a whole. + May cause weather patterns to be less predictable. + Emerged as a political issue in the 1970s, where activist and formal efforts were taken to ensure environmental crises were addressed on a global scale. International policy regarding climate change has focused on cooperation and the establishment of international guidelines to address global warming. + One side argues that the current global warming is caused by human factors while the other side insists it is occurring because of natural forces.

It's essential to prioritize evidence-based strategies ‘that deliver tangible benefits and. maximize positive outcomes for both people and the planet Polarization & Inaction ‘Some individuals and groups dismissing or denying the problem altogether in response to perceived alarmism. This polarization impedes bipartisan cooperation and consensus-building, hindering progress on implementing effective climate policies and solutions.“The earth is never exactly in equilibrium.” Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science ‘Since its inception, the planet has undergone continual climatic shifts, yet remarkably retained its capacity to support life. The earth has experienced several major ice ages, including at least 4 periods years. The most recent Ice Age occurred between about 120,000 and 11,500 year 500,000 During the Cretaceous Period, Earth experienced one of the most pronounced warm climatic period in its history.= Scott Denning, Colorado State University Professor of ‘Atmospheric Sciences ‘The naturally occurring climate changes that occurred throughout the ‘earth's history proved that it is entirely capable of healing itself, while the strongest flora and fauna species can adapt to the changing climate. ‘Through “natural climate solutions”, humankind can actually speed up. the healing process to increase carbon storage, which may reduce 37% of emissions by 2030. te} f (pa rv sStop Overdramatizing! ‘Throughout its existence, the earth has undergone numerous cycle of climate changes. Species went extinct, but they were replaced with millions other species through natural selection process. Humanity will continue to evolve and adapt to these changes, just as we have done throughout the course of our history. Nature can still heal itself, if we give it the attention it needs!Thank you very much!
