Against :
We are on the threshold of a frightening new era........ never before has humankind's abuse of the environment put the whole planet in danger.
This is what Climate Change does.
It has become the very greatest threat to our planet and everyone on it, besides all-out war with modern weapons of mass-destruction.
The Greenhouse gases that cause climate change have a delayed effect, like a disease with a long incubation period. This means that we do not know how much irreversible damage we have done already - but we know that if we don't act now the effects will be many times more devestating still.
The damage has been done mainly by the rich nations (which burn more fossil fuels like coal and oil, and so emit more CO2 - the main 'greenhouse gas') but the poorest will suffer worst and most immediately ...though everyone is threatened in the long run. People are dying from climate change now though it is not obvious since it is happening through a steady and unrelenting increase in the frequency.
