Climate change is caused by two different factors. These are anthropogenic and natural. Anthropogenic means caused by human activity. Climate change is also natural since climate changes anyway and has done so for millions of years. Humans have only been around for 3.5 million years. Humans have only had a population of over a billion since 1800. It was the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century that started people burning huge quantities of oil, gas and coal. The internal combustion engine invented in the 1880s is used to vehicles and this hugely increased the amount of fossil fuels burnt by people.

There have been ice ages before. There was once a land bridge from the UK to France 10 000s of years ago. There was a land bridge from Siberia to Alaska and Asians walked into the American Continent. But then the Ice Age ended and the land bridge melted. There have been periods when the weather was considerably warmer than it is today.

There is no doubt among scientists that both human activity and nature cause climate change. However, climate change has been happening more rapidly than ever before in the last 100 years. Therefore, it is human activity that is chiefly the explanation for the current climate change.

In conclusion, we need to radically reduce our usage of fossil fuels in order to stop climate change having cataclysmic consequences.

DO NOT SMOKE

Deciding whether or not to smoke is perhaps the most important decision you will ever make. Smokers die on average 14 years younger than non-smokers. In addition, smokers tend to be in poor health for the last 20 years or so of their lives. Smoking hugely increases your risk of pulmonary (lung) cancer and all other cancers. You will have a sore throat. It stains the skin, the teeth and the fingertips. People end up with a croaky voice.

Why would anyone smoke when it is so harmful? Some foolish people smoke precisely because it has deleterious consequences for their health. They think it is macho. Smoking is not courageous it is stupid. Anyone can smoke. It does not take bravery to do it.

Smoking is also very expensive due to tax on tobacco. Smokers are spending 10 pounds a day on a packet of cigarettes. Multiply that by every day of your life and imagine what else you could purchase for that sum of money. Smokers also have to go to cold smoking areas outside buildings. They waste their time going there and they fall ill out in the cold.

There is no pleasure in smoking. People get addicted to nicotine in cigarettes. When they do not get nicotine for a few hours they feel tetchy. They get angry and hungry. The only way to solve that in the short term is to smoke and get another nicotine hit.

Smoking is disgusting and immoral. It is slow motion suicide and should be outlawed.
