Last week in
Marrakech, there was an international convention, the Conference of Parties
(COP) 22, to discuss the Paris Argument and start the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change.
The goal of this convention, as stated on the convention's website, was to be an "opportunity to make the voices of the most vulnerable countries to climate change heard, in particular African countries and island states. It is urgent to act on these issues linked to stability and security,” as stated by Salaheddine Mezouar, President of COP22.
For this blog, I want you to write what you think the most critical, pressing issue of climate change. In your blog post, tell me why you think this issue is the most important, and what are some ways you can take steps in your own life to stop the progression of this critical issue.
For example, I believe the most pressing issue in regards to climate change is the limited supply of fresh, potable water available. Ways I think I can help is by conserving water in my home when I'm cooking, bathing, and cleaning and recycling or buying recycled products to limit the amount of water that needs to be used to make new items.
Please respond with your position in a blog post that is at least a paragraph (8-10 sentences) long and has proper vocabulary, grammar, sentence structures, capitalization, and punctuation. If you do not write at least 8-10 sentences, I will deduct points from your blog assignment. Your blog post is due by midnight, Wednesday, November 23rd.

ReplyDeleteThe most pressing issue for climate change in Indonesia is agricultural and Fishery. Indonesia is archipelago country, so agricultural and fishery are the most importance domestic product. When climate change, our farmer can't predict the periods for harvest or cultivate. Moreover, the yields are not so good and it makes our farmer income drop every years. Yet, the price for living is increase especially for gas, food, and education. On another hand, fisherman are scream because the wind, and the wave make them stuck. Furthermore, the fish moving also can't be predicted. That's make fisherman can't catch fish as much as usual. Actually, climate change is our responsibility, I means, really ''our'' as a human. Not just for one country or two, but all of the world make a deal with this issue. Finally, we as human being must to keep our land, and our home properly and make sure that we can protect this for our next generation.
ReplyDeleteWater pollution and fishing are huge climate issues. Good idea!
DeleteTo my eyes, the melting of ice is the most important climate issue in today's world. A lot of animals are struggling from this and a lot of them may dissapear if we do not react and do something for them. It's important to know that when animals dissapear, a part of the world dissapear too. It's a real problem to know that white bears, seals and other species might be no more part of this world... These animals have an important role in the regulation of climate, too. Moreover, the melting of ice results in an augmentation of the level of oceans. Which can make dissapear some cities under the sea. Is oil more important than this to you ? What will we eat when the earth will be destroyed? We'll find the taste of oil pretty ugly... We should pay attention and try to take care of the earth, and to try to make small things that may change the world.
ReplyDeleteNew York City, Casablanca...it will all be underwater. Fes will be oceanfront property!
DeleteI personally think that COP22 is a fundamental event that deals with an important issue. Climate change is affecting our daily life. We don’t differ the seasons anymore, moreover people suffer from a series of daises. I believe that the main purpose is we have to keep the planet protected so the next generations, which are our children and the children of our children, can enjoy this planet as our generations before. So the main issue is distorting this planet slowly but definitely and also killing its animals and planets. However, I think that with simple actions in our daily life we can make it stop. We simply can reduce the pollution. For example using bicycle more than cars, or even walk when it is a near place. We can also recycle some produces; for instance the oil that we already used, we can use it to make soap. We can also stop using in an excessive way water and paper. With simple actions we can make this world better.
ReplyDeleteRecycling is very important.
DeleteLast week, the 22nd Session of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) was held in Marrakech. The purpose of this convention was to give an opportunity to make the voices of the most vulnerable countries to climate change heard, in particular African countries and island states. Climate change is the cause of many issues the world is facing. Personally I believe that the most urgent problem related to climate change is the potable water availability. Many countries don’t have enough water to provide to their citizens. Other countries can’t even afford clean water. Due to the circumstances, I think that it’s a duty for us, the people who have unlimited access to clean water, to minimize our waste of clean water. We can do that by conserving water while we are cooking, bathing, or washing our cars. If each person contribute on this cause, big changes will be notified worldwide.
ReplyDeleteWater, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink!
DeleteI believe that the most important issue that we all are involve on it is the pollution. Actually, the problem with pollution is that it effects all the environment such as forests, lacks, and oceans. In addition, there are many kinds of pollution like air pollution, water polluted, and trash that we throw in nature. All this problems leads to destroyer the Earth and also human being life. However, there are many things that we can do reduce this result and help the Earth to continue survive. One of the important solution to reduce the trash is by using recycle our own things. Moreover, using many cars we can use carpooling to avoid the air pollution and traffic. We also can some special days where we don’t use car or electricity. All in all, this is simple solutions that help us to solve the problem of climate change and live in peace with the Earth.
ReplyDeleteYes, in big Moroccan cities like Marrakech and Casa, there is so much air pollution. Hopefully, this will change soon.
DeleteFirst of all, I think that COP 22 is an important event because we as people have to reunite and search for solutions to solve the climatic problems. The most critical issue of the climate changes are factories for several reasons. First, factories pollute everything such as potable water, and the Ozone layer. Secondly, factories are the main causes of some diseases. Finally, factories are releasing a lot of co2 molecules and carbon. These 2 molecules have a lot of bad effects on the human body, and on the future of our world. Ways I think that we can help the future of our world are advising people to regenerate these chemical products instead of releasing it in the air, or in rivers. Second way is to reduce the amount of those chemicals and using bio products in their factories. To sum up, the future of the world is a ball in our hands, we have to protect it, search for solutions, and get together as countries to solve these climatic problems.
ReplyDeleteI agree! We need to stop factories from dumping toxic pollutants into the air and water!
DeleteThe COP22 located in Marrakech is a convention between many actors to discuss about ecological issues. The purpose of this assembly is to verifies the correct application of the objectives of the international conventions adopted. From now , many actions were taken, but for me , the most important is related to energies. In fact , without energy , how can the world work as intensively as now? Energy has an important role and it’s mandatory to provide to the world as much energy as it requests, but this energy has to be a green one. Energy now , in a general way , is polluting forest , air , and tend to be dangerous, that’s why the cop 22 has an interest to continue on the same trend as the cop 21 at Paris to find solutions.
ReplyDeleteOur consummation of energy has to decrease to protect us from diseases or from global warming, also, the energy has to be made naturally (Dam and windmill).
The future is solar-powered!
DeleteRecently, we have seen a lot of changes in the climate. Each one of us is actually responsible for this fact; however, international leaders are trying to find solutions for this problem as soon as possible. Now, the most critical issue that will cause calamities in our world is sea level rising. In fact, some islands will be wiped out from the map because they are at risk of disappearance. For example, the Marshall Islands are very threatened by this issue, and water began reaching their homes. Moreover, we have to keep in mind that not only this island is in danger, but also some big cities like Hong Kong, Sydney, and Amsterdam are indeed under this threat since they are so close to the sea. But, if we want to protect humanity from this crisis, we need to start decreasing the amount of pollution. In general, contamination causes global warming, which will lead to thaw the ice, and ultimately increase the amount of water. However, we can do right by our planet if we start using bicycles instead of cars, get rid of colossal factories that emit a lot of smog, and harness clean energies. In the end pollution will be tackled, and everyone will live in a safe planet.
ReplyDeleteYes! I think people should use more mass transportation and stop being so dependent on their cars.
DeleteGlobal warming is a really big problem that can’t be solved in one day. It’s a combination and accumulation of problems that human beings have created. Most of the time for pleasure not for essential needs. It’s so complex, since mortals don’t care about damages that they are doing on this earths. Simple things that we do every day thinking that they won’t affect anyone are the major problems that creates global warming. Letting the tap open when we are brushing our teeth, while cooking too, taking long baths even if they are so relaxing. Moreover, they are certain types of industries that make this problem worse. For example, the meat, eggs, and dairy industry. If we stop consuming them the massive amounts of grains water to feed farmed animals will decrease; The process after raising them killing, transporting, and storing them also demand lot of energy. I’ve once read in an article in PETA website “51 percent or more of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture “. This is the long term process we should work for because we can’t shut down all those factories in one day, but rather each one of us can contribute in his own way. We should start first by making changes if we want other people to do them. Reducing amount of water that we’re consuming each day. Recycling objects or we can buy recycled things. Eco-friendly makeup, soap, clothes and so on. They are so many alternatives that are respectful to the environment and animals. We should contribute, in order to make this planet a better and safer place for future generations.
ReplyDeleteEat vegetarian = save the planet!
DeleteClimate change is now one of the most critical issues that the world is trying to face. Global warming is destroying the environment and the whole planet. Therefore, I think that excess greenhouse gases is a very pressing issue in climate change. Every day, the emission of these gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and fluorinated gases is killing the equilibrium of the atmosphere causing global warming. This is how it affects the earth’s climate change. In order to protect our environment, we need to follow some little steps in our daily lives. For instance, we can avoid using means of transports which cause pollution like cars, or buses; and rather walk or cycle. Also, we can limit the use of air conditioning and heating, plant trees as much as we can, and save the energy. Protecting the environment is the responsibility of all, so we would better start with ourselves to make a change and save our planet from climate change.
ReplyDeleteBicycling is good for the body and good for the environment! Win/win situation!
DeleteClimat change is a dangerous phenomen .It’s the change of the temperature and wind .
ReplyDeleteThe factors that causes climat change can be divided into two categories the natural causes and the
human causes . The most dangerous cause is the human cause . Which is due to human activities such
as burning of fossil fuels like oil , coal , natural gas . This activity contribute of 67% of carbonne
emissions. So, it has a negative impact on the energy, agriculture, environment, health. Every single
person is responsible of this climat change . It’s an individual effort , I think that I should reduce my
usage of energy, water , electricity , and recycling plastic , papers, and other things. Finally, climat
change is a stark reality.
Also, I believe if we become less dependent on oil, we will have more peaceful politics.
DeleteBut, if you want to be optimistic, Marrakech will become oceanfront property if sea levels continue to rise.
ReplyDeleteRecently, we have seen a lot of changes in the climate. Each one of us is actually responsible for this fact; however, international leaders are trying to find solutions for this problem as soon as possible.
