Climate change has created more issues than once previously
believed. Rivers in China have vanished
due to the need of water by the large population. Pollution in rivers that are still present
has also been in the news. Large amounts
of ducks and pigs have been found dead along rivers. Climate change has also caused issues in food
production. With the climate changing
and becoming unfavorable for certain plants to grow, the price of these
resources could go up. In 2010, wheat
production dropped and the price of wheat doubled in seven months. Protests are common and they mostly start because
of food shortages, water supplies, or pollution.
Climate
change is a serious issue. The
temperature has not risen that much but the percentage that it has risen since
the industrial revolution is a lot. More
people on earth than ever before has really changed the climate. With only more people coming, the climate
could continue to change. Changing
climate could change food production all over the world leading to shortages on
a global scale. Prices of food could
rise too creating a scenario where the poor get no food at all and the wealthy
get all they need. The rivers that are disappearing
are another concern. If the population
continues to rise than even rivers that are flowing now may be too depleted in
the future. The population in China is
still rising and the availability to water will only become a bigger
problem. The water pollution is another
problem completely. Power plants are a
huge reason for the pollution. Cleaner
power plants are needed and with the growing population more power plants will
be needed. New plants need to be cleaner
and the older plants will need to be modified.
