The Glasgow Climate Pact was signed by nearly 200 countries (Credit: UN.org)

On November 13, 2021, diplomats from nearly 200 countries vowed to step up their efforts to slow global warming. The Glasgow Climate Pact, signed at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, was not as far-reaching as many had hoped. However, there was a clear consensus about the urgency to take action to prevent a catastrophic rise in global temperatures.

    I agree that saving the earth is VERY important, but I feel like the UN climate summit isn’t going to do anything to help, because they’re letting China (country that uses the most coal) keep polluting the earth until 2030.

      I agree, but I don't think there is much they can do about the China issue. I think that because there are millions of people who work for china's coal industry and that would be like taking away all of their jobs.

        Yes, but that doesn't mean everyday people can't cut down on energy uses as well. Although I completley am on your side. o.0

        it wouldn't hurt to use some more renewable resources instead of burning up fossil fuels all the time would it? fossil fuels release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when it is burned. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.

            Everyone can make a difference! Do what you can to get climate change to slow down, there are ways to do it whoever you are. One thing I am doing is entering the One Earth Film Festival, our movie (if we can finish it!) will be about car pollution but also youth activism in general. I personally doubt we will win, but if we do, watch it... though it probably won't win... so... whatever. If you can think of something to do then do it. Maybe post it here so other people can try too. If you can not think of anything to do then ask other people. Larger groups call more attention, in our movie the main character gets together a big group of students to protest.

              Also, my favorite renewable energy source is solar power, because it produces a lot of energy without polluting the air or messing with the environment. Renewable sources are another way the world can cut down on emissions.

              It feels like the adults are like "OMG Climate change is a big problem! We'll fix it!" But they are usually lazy and they don't do anything, they just mess things up and then give the problems to the next generation to fix.

                This is important. We really need to do something about it. After all, it is our Earth.

                  It's probably to late to completely reverse climate change now, but at least we can try to do something to make it better, but we have to act now, so stop just posting "save the Earth" on the internet and do something.

                    Posting things about climate change also helps people get motivated to solve the problem

                      Also I agree that people should be trying to do more for the planet, but posting things on the internet is a great way to get people to notice the problem

                        That is so true. Really wish people would actually do something to save the beloved Earth.

                        if you really want to save the planet, don't just say "stop global warming" on the internet. go and actually do something.

                          Well some people can't just go do that due to financial situations but that is why we need billionaires to be the first ones to make the switch to renewable energy,electric cars.investing in carbon capture technology and if they do that than prices will go down and the cheaper solar panels and solar battery's become than more people use solar instead of fossil fuels so people like Elon musk and Jeff Bezos need to stop whining and go out and do something.

                          what disappoints me the most is that people always say that we have to stop global warming and save the planets, but their just saying it and not actually doing anything about it. they are just being lazy and sitting around thinking that somebody else is going to save the planet for them but that is not true.

                            I disagree because spreading info about global warming on the internet is a great way to spread news about global warming to other people and motivate other people to help with the issue

                              I think we should start taking this seriously. Climate change has a big impact on earth.
