Low Carbon lifestyle--Take the chance today! Since the Industry Revolution took place centuries’ ago .Human civilization has been developed rapidly, we dug up the ground in order to find oil and coal; we launch the rockets and spaceships in order to conquer the universe and do scientific research; we invent cars ,planes in order to shorten the distance between you and me…We fight with the nature to rob the resource we need ;we kill the wild animals for their fur and meat , even sometimes just for entertainment…In this battle , however ,our nature seems to be a loser .She uses hard and solid rocks to protect her jewelry but it is still stolen by “clever” human at last. She spent centuries creating many fantastic creatures. But human seems to only need a little time to destroy all of them. The nature seems to be defeated by us. And us, human beings, the cleverest creature on the Earth. Seems to be a conqueror. Do we conquest the nature? Of course not. The serious environmental problem generates amounts of destructive effects to the entire planet: ice melting, climate change, animals and plants’ extinction, and threat of human society. Primarily, as the temperature increases, ice melting is regard as the most intractable issue. The sea level goes up because of the melts of ice. Jonathan Over peck, an earth scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson thinks sea level rises at rates of up to a meter or three feet per hundred year. This statistic reveals the raising temperature is detrimental to global climate and the main reason why global warming results in sea level rising is that results from thermal expansion. When the temperature of the sea becomes warming than before, so the sea level rises. In addition, as a result of ice melting, landscape also transforms. Statistics suggest that countries built on islands such as Maldives would be submerged in a matter of decades, for the constant rising of sea level. It is caused by global warming, the notoriously environ
