Global warming is an issue that can no longer be ignored. Globalization has triggered environmental degradation in the form of extreme weather as well as the depletion of many of our natural resources. Scientists and environmental advocates have suggested many solutions to fight global warming but ultimately we need to change our way of thinking if we want to reverse or slow the damage we’ve already caused. In order to combat global warming we need to adopt a deep ecological perspective and create a policy on population control.

It will also explain how global warming is affecting our planet and how taking a deep ecological perspective and adopting a policy on population control can aid in the fight against further environmental degradation.
