The planet is warming up and none of us need proof to believe it. If not, then a polar bear seen crossing the road in Russia’s Norilsk city recently serves as the perfect eye opener.

Or the fact that 12 billions tons of ice melted in Greenland in less than 24 hours.

Climate change not just describes the rising average temperatures but also takes into account more complex shifts in the planet’s ecosystem.

All of us are well aware of the situation yet most have decided to turn a blind eye towards the global crisis.

As humans, we have seized control of the earth, for better or for worse. Gone are the days when we wondered who’s going to bear the brunt of climate change... it’s us!

Wake Up!

Several other such videos and images shared on Twitter reflect the crisis brought on by the rising global temperatures and speak volumes on the magnitude of a problem that needs our immediate attention.

As they say, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Hence, to save the planet, steps and solutions need to be thought about today to ensure a better tomorrow.
