Climate Change

I think Climate Change is one of the biggest crisis mankind has faced through its history, together with the Ice Age and the Black Death. It's a problem that affects us all and we're all somehow responsible for this issue. It infuriates me to listen to people such as Donald Trump and Mike Pence (US vice president) saying that it's not real or that it's only another Earth cycle. It is not. For the planet, it took around 250 million years to warm up the planet in 2.5ºC. It took mankind 150 years to do the same. Natural? No way. 

However, I also believe that Climate Change is sometimes too demonized and it looks like our doom. There's a huge amount of people around the planet working to solve this crisis. Tesla Company creating new technologies that don't use oil as main source of energy, and thus creating cleaner, smarter and more reliable cars. Sweden and Germany are doing tremendous advances in the waste management and electric energy areas. In Chile, for the first time in mankind history, solar energy is cheaper than coal because of our huge radiaton index in the Atacama Desert, so there's an unique opportunity waiting for us. The hurricane that struck USA a few weeks ago is a reminder of the severity of Climate Change and everyone understood it as such. And so on. 

We're not oblivious to it. Now should be the time to do something about it.
