Experts need to slow down the rate of global warming
Experts around the world have been warning virtually this for decades and have been urging goernments to do more to slow down the cast of globular warming. They warn that there is a 75% risk that global temperatures will rise a further two to three degrees in the next 50 years. The consequence of this would be dramatic. In fact a rise of just one degree would melt the Greenland ice aeroplane and drown the Maldives, but a three degree increase would sweep away the Amazon rainforest, wipe out nearly half of all species face extinction and wreak havoc with crop yields due to w wash upher changes.Whilst the global climate goes through hot and cold cycles, what is worrying about the accredited phase is the pace of change that could send us head prototypal into a final spin. Although we have certainly benefited from technological advancements that have condition us plastics, air travel and cheap food what is important is to oblige a balance so that overmuchive consumerism does not ride unrelenting over natures unanimity. In Islam man is given the role of trusteeship over the earth, which is a huge responsibility.In the past, man had to be careful how he treated his topical anaesthetic environment since excessive grazing or factory farm could bring ruin to his livelihood. His knowledge was also limited but in the event of a disaster either through ignorance or villainy at l easterly he could resort to moving elsewhere and kale again. Now we should have no excuse for ignorance and we should have learnt from our past to lift misuse. But what is worrying is that the impacts of our behaviour are not just local anymore, they are global.If we fail to act in a responsible vogue then we cannot simply relocate because there will be nowhere to go. It is therefore vital that as producers, manufacturers and consumers, we ensure that we give due reflection to the impact of our actions. Such a responsibility is not just that of the east or the west but a respon sibility for all of us. Islam teaches us that God has continued and will continue to provide us with copious resources for all time. But through mans misuse, this balance may change.It is this personal covetousness of man that makes them squander these resources and deprive others who may need those resources. The Holy playscript warns mankind in Chapter 7, verse 32 O children of Adam eat and drink but exceed not the bounds surely He does not love those who exceed the bounds The overall message of Islam is that it promotes harmony by advising moderation. It accepts that we need to use resources for our progress but this should be through with(p) wisely and in a sustain able manner, so that a right medium is found.The Holy Quran relates in Chapter 25, verse 68 those who, when they pass are neither extravagant nor niggardly but moderate amidst the two. So as individuals we should act on the Quranic injunction that promotes balance and avoids excess and Nations need to be more wi lling to share knowledge for the saki of the planet rather than for profit and take collective action in line with their collective responsibility. By doing so we will be able to win the pleasure of God and honour our trusteeship of the earth for the gratuity and future generations
