POSSIBLE OUTPUT
Introduction:
There are three major threats to our civilization, which can lead to the destruction ofmankind. We have first nuclear energy, which has been a constant liability ever since theexplosion of atomic bombs in 1945; there is also pollution, a major cause for concern with themassive and noxious increase in industrial activities and mechanization; finally, climate changeconstitutes another threat, as an outcome of the first two mentioned problems.
Body §1-Nuclear Warfare-
The escalation of nuclear weaponry since World War Two has exposed humanity to anuclear war that would not compare at all with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, since it could wipe outlife on earth many times over. The Cold War was a period of tension between the two mostheavily equipped nations in terms of nuclear warheads, the USA and the USSR. The Détentethat came after did not suppress all worries, since other countries have the bomb, and could useit any time.
Body §2 – Pollution-
There are also indirect consequences to owning nuclear energy. Indeed, a lethal form ofpollution can originate from it if accidents in nuclear power plants occur. But apparently lessdangerous forms of pollution, generated by an ever- increasing industrialisation, can also causesevere illnesses and deaths. We can think of all the chemicals dumped by factoriesunderground, or in rivers and seas, or of the enormous amounts of smoke emitted inthe air byfactories and vehicles. All of these are causing all sorts of illnesses in humans and threateningwildlife.
Body §3- Climate Change-
Apart from these direct consequences, the third threat to our civilisation, climate change, isdirectly related to the first two mentioned. Smoke has resulted in the greenhouse effect,
responsible for the increase in mean temperature in the world. Consequently, the ice caps in thenorth and south poles are shrinking, the sea level is rising, rains have become irregular,hurricanes are more frequent, monsoons are more destructive, droughts have intensified, andhave reached usually wet parts of the world. Therefore, the danger of famine is real, and caneven lead to dramatic wars over the possession of themeager resources remaining. Surely theimpending threat of nuclear warfare, and the lethal chemicals spread in the environment makethe world a dangerous place to live. The tons of smoke sent out in the atmosphere alsoconstitute a health hazard, and are responsible for climate change.
