I watched a documentary today and made me sad and extremely worried. There are more than 100,000 walruses on the Arctic coast in the documentary. As the ice melted, tens of thousands of walruses gathered on the small beaches layer by layer, and the area here was obviously unbearable, so walruses could only migrate to higher cliffs. However, it is particularly difficult for them to climb hard rocks who are good at ice gliding, so every slight crowding will cause walruses to fall off the cliff.

walruses have to swim for more than 160 kilometers to get food, then come back here to climb the cliff, and then fall with all their strength, either falling to death or trampling on each other.
It was really shocking to see the walruses who fell to death for several kilometers and were very uncomfortable.
In addition to walruses, polar bears , penguins, albatross and other animals are paying for climate change with their lives, and the driving force behind all this is human beings themselves.

Historical extreme value and a century-old experience, such words have frequently touched the nerves of human beings. Extreme weather events occur frequently around the world, and the world has experienced unprecedented heat and drought. The cliché topic of global climate change has appeared before mankind again and again with disasters as a carrier.
Lake Mead is one of the world's largest artificial lakes and the largest reservoir in the United States. Its water level has dropped to its lowest ever, affecting the drinking water supply of nearly 25 million Americans. The cruel reality that the water storage capacity shown is a shrinking.
Many countries in the northern hemisphere issued extreme high temperature warnings, and temperatures in many places around the world have been constantly breaking historical records. As July begins, many places in the northern hemisphere fall into a scorching pattern. Under the high temperature and heat waves in Europe, wildfires in many countries are raging, and 100,000 people are forced to evacuate. This summer just passed can be recorded in history.
The recent Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought immeasurable changes to the world, affecting not only the daily lives of countless people, but also has a significant impact on global climate change.
When people are pursuing the emission of greenhouse gas as much as possible, a fire on the battlefield easily erased many previous efforts.
In the early morning of September 26, the Beixi 2 natural gas pipeline, which is the energy artery between Russia and Europe, exploded due to artificial damage. After 16 hours, the Beixi 1 pipeline also exploded, and a large amount of natural gas continued to leak from four leakage points of the two pipelines. methane is the main component of natural gas and an important greenhouse gas.
Experts said that in the long run, the large amount of methane leaked from the north and west will have a catastrophic impact on the climate and may cause a serious ecological crisis in the Baltic Sea region. In a few days, you can see the fragile ecological environment of the Arctic above in , Svalbard Islands, or it may be impacted again.
The chain reaction triggered by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has long been extended to all aspects. Starting from the end of February this year, many Western countries have banned Russian planes from flying over its airspace, and have also closed the airspace of more than 30 countries in order to counter Russia. Since Russia is the largest country in the world, some routes that travel between Asia and Europe have to detour and even divert to fly across the Arctic. According to data from the real-time flight status website, after Japan Airlines used polar routes to and from Europe and Japan, it flew from Tokyo to London, with a flight time increased by 2.4 hours, consumed about 5,600 gallons of fuel, and emitted up to 54 tons of carbon dioxide .
So how should the current world on the Russian-Ukrainian border deal with climate change?
It is worth noting that it has been 30 years since the signing of the first international agreement to deal with climate change in the Framework Convention on Climate Change in to the signing of the first international agreement to deal with climate change in the Paris Agreement . However, in the governance process, climate change seems to be gradually occurring, and a natural science problem gradually evolved into an international political game.
We are seriously destroying the ecosystem foundation that gives our own life! What are we doing? Leave a descendant in the future? Have you all lived a life of decision makers in the West and Europe and the United States?
As the world's largest developing country, , China promises to achieve carbon peak to carbon neutrality in the shortest time in global history. China has only set a time for itself to be 30 years, the United States will use it for 43 years, and Japan will use it for 37 years. Most importantly, China's actions have never been verbally verbally. In recent years, my country's new energy development represented by wind power and photovoltaic power generation has achieved remarkable results, and its installed capacity has firmly ranked first in the world.
Ecology will prosper civilized! I think this is the key information and should not be proposed by China alone. All countries in the world should promise and take action to protect Mother Earth from being hurt.
