Asia's Climate Crisis: Urgent Warnings

The head of the UN climate panel warned that Asia is particularly vulnerable to global warming and climate change. Asia faces more frequent disasters unless action is taken to address greenhouse gas emissions and lifestyle changes. The climate chief noted that Asia's growing population and agricultural production in densely populated deltas would be threatened by rising temperatures. An Indian scientist also warned of increased risks of flash floods and diminished access to fresh water and food resources. Continued inaction and unchanged behaviors could lead to more conflicts over scarce water resources and harm poor communities. The damage to the environment from climate change may already be irreversible, as seen by a 40% drop in rainfall in Sudan over 20 years, causing drought and tensions over land access

ASIA AT RISK

Numbered-lettered Outline

OUTLINE

Thesis Statement:

Asia at risk, says Nobel-winning climate chief the head of a United Nations climate
panel that shared the Nobel Peace Prize warned that Asia was particularly vulnerable to
global warming, with the continent set for more disasters unless action is taken.

I. The forewarnings that we received yet we stayed oblivious while we live our
daily lives.

A. The Chairman of the International Panel of The Climate change


warnings about over populations and our current lifestyle affecting the
climate change.

1. Fighting greenhouse gases entailed more than adopting new


technologies, with individuals required to change their
lifestyles.
2. Asia being the rapidly growing continent with the largest
share of the human population.
3. The vital agricultural production of Asia's densely populated
delta regions would be in jeopardy if temperatures kept
rising.

B. An Indian Scientist warnings about the upcoming unabated calamities.

1. risked flash floods


2. diminished access to resources

i. fresh water
ii. food supply

II. The forecast of the continuous unchanging behavioral and habits that we do in
our daily lives.
A. The danger of conflict obviously will increase, substantially.

1. Several areas of the world where there is intense competition


for water resources.
2. Poor communities are, of course, at the highest risk.

B. The damage that we have inflicted to environment can be


irreversible.

III. The after-effects of the climate change to the environment.

A. UN statistics shows that rainfall has diminished by 40 percent in the


Sudanese region over the past two decades

1. Causing drought
2. Causing intense friction over access to the land.

CONCLUSION

The damage that we inflicted to the environment is already done and might never
come back to way it used to because of the tremendous damage that it took because of the
pollution that we do in our every action that we take. Every actions that we do, it has an
impact on our environment that results to pollution, and our ozone layer takes the damage
and by that it gradually getting thinner and thinner in every day it passes. The reason for
these warning from the chairperson Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change himself
is because it has to be addressed to the public on how dreadful the situation of our plant
has become. The changes in our environment has been evident in our lives and now has
been affecting our daily lives as well by a rampaging storm, a devastating heat wave ,
abnormal weather occurrences and many more had struck our lives and caused a ton of
peoples’ lives. If we do not change our habits, climate change would get even more
unbearable that may make our planet unfit to inhabit humans to live anymore.
