No Stars Anymore
This is my first time to read “Climate Changed” because I joined the class late and my first impression of this book was “FACTS”. Squarzoni gave us a lot of information about global warming and greenhouse effect. I could understand why global warming is a really serious issue in human life now and how it will be happened in future life.
Since my 3rd grade in elementary school, I have heard the word “global warming” very often in class and Medias. Even when I practiced SAT reading section, I read articles about global warming; two authors contradicted each other’s main point. One author worried about global warming and suggested much information as Squarzoni does, but another author claims that information and news in Media is greatly exaggerated because we don’t actually feel and experience any event by directly global warming. Yes, like the 2nd author, I ignored those obvious natural disasters such as storm, flood and tsunami which are affected by global warming. I just had a deep sympathy for the countries that natural disasters had occurred and donated money for them. But actually the best donation and volunteer for them is knowing the accurate reason of global warming and trying to reduce global warming.
Before I came to USA, I went to a park in Seoul (capital city of Korea) with my friends at night. After we ate chicken in there, we sat on the bench in there and looked at the sky. We could barely see stars on the sky. On pg 68, Squarzoni said “hard to see the stars”. In 2030, how many stars can I see on the sky? And even later, will my grandsons know there were stars on the sky in the past? For now, people should take actions to reduce global warming.
