English Reflective Summary

Actually my task was about climate change. But, I decided to do on global warming for my first two reflective journals, because I thought it would be relevant to the topic climate change. Now, why is that so, well mainly because climate change is now happening because of global warming. Global warming is the main culprit for these effects. I thought I would want to learn more about the global warming before I touch on the topic climate change.

After a week or two, I started learning more on the topic global warming. Well, it is a very interesting topic. There is a wide range of things that I learnt. In my first article “global warming” it was mainly about global warming and how did it came about. After reading that article I was quite surprised. I did not know that global warming had started way before humans found out. On my other article I learnt the causes of global warming, the effects. Definitely I was amazed, after reading this article. I could not believe that volcanoes and solar variation had small effects on global warming. So when I learn about these things, I could make conclusions very well. I thought if I read more I could come out with more conclusions and would understand the topic very well and I did!

I went on to climate change. I found my third article,’The Great Climate Change Challenge’. That was when I learnt more about this whole topic. It was written that, “Climate change is the biggest challenge facing our society today”, and I firmly agree. I mean, we all know that the climate change can cause many problems. This was also written there “There is no reason for us to hang back and follow whatever international response may emerge. We must use our initiative and take action now”. I really got caught up in this phrase “We must use our initiative and take action now”; personally I think this phrase has a meaning of its own. It does not only refer to global warming, but also refers to our lives especially for students like me. My next article was about the severe climate change affecting flora and fauna. Well, after reading this article, I was definitely heart broken. Imagine living a life without these wondrous creatures. And the last article was on the latest new on climate change. This article was definitely threatening. Since I had a clearer idea on this topic before hand I could very well relate things.

Well, now looking at the current situation. It’s a bit too late to stop global warming. However, we can reduce global warming and there won’t be severe climate change. Majority is because of human activities such as cutting down trees and factories emitting harmful gas. Minority effects on things such as volcanoes.
Now it all depends on the humans. I mean, we cannot stop the volcanoes but we can stop humans.

Before doing this whole project, I knew a bit about global warming but I did not bother much about it. Since now I know how harmful it is to our earth I am going to play a part. By recycling, reducing and reusing. I hope people will stop polluting the environment and refrain from engaging in harmful activities that affect the earth. PLEASE SAVE OUR EARTH!
