Green and Pleasant Land: a crisis in the countryside?
Green and Pleasant Land: a crisis in the countryside?
Because of the shift in
climate the nature of Britain is changing rapidly. Because of the last 12
months of extreme climate changes, the wildlife is not used to, there have been
a lot of radical changes: 2012 was the worst breeding year for birds, 70% of
the bugs are gone and only 2% of the wildflower meadows are left. One scientist
says that the balance of nature is being thrown off because of the climate. But
finally a scientific report is being made with all the climate changes in
Britain to appeal to the government to take action.
My opinion:
To be honest, I didn’t
think that the climate changes were as “radical” as the scientist in the clip
were telling us, so I had no idea about all of this changes. Which is quite
understandable, they say this in the clip as well, because of the economic crisis
overshadowing most of the news and the political discussions nature is kind of
getting the wrong end of the stick. It does sadden me to see that for instance
the hedgehogs are actually disappearing from wildlife because of the harsh
winters and it just leaves me hoping that something can be done.
