Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
There are many debates about which topic deserves more attention and effort between preventing loss of living species and other environmental problems that impacts worldwide, such as global warming.
Therefore in this essay, both opinions will be discussed and the more reasonable one will be presented.
To start with, it’s not difficult to see some articles about some species are on the edge of death. They can’t be revived, which is a big loss in various aspects.
Firstly, evaporation of one species affects the whole ecosystem by influencing their predators and prey.
Secondly, for humankind, the missing plants or animals could have some ingredients that can be used for a remedy for lethal diseases like cancer and alzheimer, or they could have been a specific genetic evidence of evolution that had not been able to be explained.
While disappearance of specific species is somewhat a regional problem, global warming deteriorates the situation throughout the earth.
For instance, the circulation of tides will stop or be changed.
Tides are created by the difference of temperature of water in the ocean.
Global warming, however, makes the cold water less cold which cannot make enough temperature gap for making energy for circulation.
Like this, it can be seen that global warming triggers another world disaster, eventually generating the vicious cycle.
This cycle will produce more problems that affect globally, such as abnormal climate change.
To conclude, global warming seems to be a more urgent problem that all the living things are facing. However, we should not cease our attention to the creatures in danger, since they might be able to survive from comparably less expenditure and care while global warming requires enormous struggles of all the nations to overcome.
