Global warming is actually not real and politicians and media should spend time debating more serious issues such as how to decrease poverty.
To what extent do you agree with the above statement?
As the level of damage caused by climate change or extreme weather has constantly rose, the interest and participation in the environmental protection has been greatly promoted. At the same time, however, some people insist that dealing with other serious social problems should be priorities than the environmental issues. I believe that both would be equally worth for society as well as every individual.
First of all, a stable environment is a precondition for human beings which cannot be ignored in terms of protection and conservation. Ecosystem that provides every organism foods and habitats is substantially vulnerable to a tiny environmental perturbation. Thus, the environmental protection is essential to avoid possible loss of our source of life induced by the natural disasters and instability of ecosystem. Besides, the environmental issue such as global warming is directly linked to human health. Exposure to smog and greenhouse gases, the main factor of global warming, would accelerate respiratory and eye-related diseases.
On the other hand, although it is true that protection environment is considerably important, urgent social issues such poverty, disease and illiteracy cannot be outweighed. These serious social problems are fundamentally associated with the quality and standard of life, which means low quality of educational and medical services would discourage people not to improve their life and also overcome their constant hardship. In addition, helping people who suffer from deadly social problems can alleviate the economic and information gap among people to some extent.
In short, healthy environment and society are essential elements, regarding the means and standard of living and both have immense impacts on society and people, which means people could be negatively affected by carelessly managed issues. For this reason, comprehensive discussion about both the environmental and social issues could be required for every and each individual in society.
In short, healthy environment and society are essential elements, regarding the means and standard of living. For the reasons above, supportive and active interest and efforts for both the environment and society should be equally required.
