News has been coming thick and fast. That this is one of the hottest summers on record is news, but not new. The past few summers have been equally bad, if not worse. What's worrying is that extreme temperatures melted many roads into black goo in the United Kingdom last month－something that is becoming common in the West.
What's even more worrying is a new study that says the world's largest ice sheet faces a dreadful future, for its fate rests in the hands of humankind (read big corporations and global leaders). If global warming drives temperatures above 2 degrees Celsius, the East Antarctic ice sheet could melt, pushing up sea level by many meters.But even a couple of meters of sea level rise could spell disaster for the world, coastal regions in particular, including iconic cities such as New York City, Shanghai and Mumbai.
Yet another bit of disturbing news is the possibility of climate change disrupting ecological cues, which prompt animals to migrate.When animals, including butterfly kaleidoscopes or elk herds or bat cauldrons, migrate, they do so in response to ecological cues, which guide the manner and extent of the migration process.
That climate change will deal a terrible blow to migratory species is tragic enough. But, worse, as a recent study in Nature shows, the disruption will lead to unusual interspecies contact, which could cause new transmissions and mutations of viruses.As such, aside from having a massive ecological impact on the global fauna, it could seriously impact human health, for the majority of emerging infectious disease threats are zoonotic (transmitted by animal-to-human contact) in origin.
Now to the moral of the story: the international community has no choice but to put its heads and hearts together, forget about power and profits, chicanery and charade, trick-or-treat, and work together to keep global temperature rise to below 2 C. The tragedy is that these evil traits have become part of the DNA of some countries and corporations.
Oak Doer,as a responsible enterprise(supplying jacket,pants,bibpants,
overall,vest,belt,knee pads for workers),we take many actions,all the materials from yarns to packing can be decomposed and recycled, they can meet Oeko-tex standard and be friendly to environment;all the stitching factories,using progressive machines,energy saving and emission reduction;we have been doing enough to tread the course to a healthy planet.
Looking forward to building our Mother Earth together!
