Reflection

“The importance of the ocean for the global climate system cannot be underestimated. In addition, the ocean is the largest and one of the most important life support systems on the planet.” - UNESCO I would like to share the problem of the raising temperature, more precisely, about global warming. The main cause of this problem is undoubtedly the emission of greenhouse gases, where most of the blame definitely lies with people. You may think that there is nothing terrible in the fact that the water in the ocean is getting warmer, but I don't think so. This leads to dire consequences, ranging from the migration of fish from its usual location to the formation of so-called "dead zones" in the seas, which will lead to the death of many aquatic organisms. Perhaps in the future this problem will be noticed, and people will be able to solve it immediately, or perhaps we will irretrievably lose what we have to save. With this drawing, I wanted to convey that in a couple of decades people will mourn their inaction. Since now, ignoring this large-scale problem, it will be very difficult or even unrealistic to correct all the mistakes made by mankind in the future.
