      Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges the world has ever faced. It will impact millions around the world however we have many talented scientists working on understanding this problem and trying to implement change. Our big issue right now is that some countries may turn their public policy or laws in the wrong direction and may continue to fuel climate change. Other parts of the world lack the education surrounding it and so they are not aware the implications of their actions. Cultural issues and tradition is also a barrier – this is the way people live their lives and to change that can be hard.

      As scientific research continues, technology develops, cultural and societal change happens though I think humanity will be able to manage climate change one day but it will be a lot of work to get there over many generations.
