In Loft’s article “Coral Crisis: Global warning, trawling, pollutants threaten the world’s coral population,” he tell us that greenhouse gases change the weather’s temperature and at the same time change ocean’s temperature. It is very bad for coral, and coral is very important for humans. So we need to try to fix the coral crisis and fix a lot of global warming. The first reason we need to fix this problem is that the coral crisis comes from the world and the ocean temperature goes up. The second is if coral has a big problem, that means our food will have a problem and the last one is that in the world a lot of things are changed; it is a warning for humans. Although I believe these are true and we need to do something for our future.
First, because the ocean’s temperature has gone up, “70 percent of coral species are threatened and 20 percent are damaged beyond repair”. We must address the fact that they have caused the ocean’s temperature to rise. The reason we have this problem is humans. We have a lot of factories, and they will put a lot of CO2 (Greenhouse Gas) in the air. That’s the way our world temperature goes up, and some places already have lost the winter or winter is shorter than before. People can‘t feel or have difficultly feeling temperature change, but coral are vulnerable to changes in temperature; a little change will make them die. So we need to be careful about greenhouse gas; if we don’t pay attention right now, we will have a problem in the future.
We must save our fish to save ourselves. Second, the ocean is human’s biggest food source; we have a lot of food that comes from the ocean. They are like home and nurseries for fish. “They are a rich source of food for countless species, including more than 4,000 varieties of fish” (Para13). So we eat fish and fish need coral to live. So if fish lose their home, what will happen in our future? We will lose food and our world food problem will be even worse. So saving the world is like saving ourselves. Because of the coral crisis, there will be an ecology problem; at that time it will be like a movie call “The Day after Tomorrow”. Nobody will survive. Nobody wants to this happen; now we need do something to save them.
The last one is that as the world population goes up, humans develop and change the world in everything, like the weather, environment and lives. There are a lot of animals that are vulnerable to changes in temperature. This cause us have a lot of an end species? If we let this still happen, at the end these will be nothing in the world. We face an ecology crisis now, because humans have not cared about this before. And the ocean is an important place for humans, “many scientists fear that the planet's biggest ecosystem could reach a tipping point with depleting nutrients in the oceans (para1).” So we need pay attention to our ocean; this is the biggest place and is important in the world.
Whether or not humans should pay attention to our world, the answer is we must stop and begin to think about our world’s feeling. The world is like our home; we need to think if our home has some problems, what we can do or what we need to do. Now, before we have these crises, we need to try to stop global warning. And we need to think about the ocean, it is not our natural trash can, it is the world’s staff. If we lose the ocean, we will lose our future.
