While there is much debate among scientists about how much we control our destiny, to what extent do we manage global warming and climate change (the two terms are not synonymous, they have different meanings), it is important to note that much of the change we are facing is a natural process. Many scientists argue that we should not be trying to stop or reverse warming, which is impossible and would waste unnecessary resources. They believe that by living a green lifestyle we can actually reduce the rate of warming somewhat. However, the main task for humanity would be to forecast what lies ahead by carefully and thoroughly analysing similar changes in the Earth’s past: to do our best to prepare for change, while trying to eliminate or reduce as many problems as possible, and then to adapt to change.
