The news explains the effect caused by the actions of human beings on the environment and, especially, in a very serious way to biodiversity. The emission of gases, pollution and, in general, the lack of respect for the environment are causing a climate change that is having a serious effect on the large natural ecosystems and the species that they inhabit. Scientists investigate the situation and the results they offer are not very optimistic about the situation of the planet in the next decades. The situation is so serious that the studies assure that the very existence of the humankind is in great danger, that the effect of pollution is so serious and the threat of the very existence of a biological environment, the necessary "life support" of nature, that the human being needs.

Text commentary
The news deals with the serious problem that affects the biodiversity of the planet, which is suffering a rapid deterioration due to the actions of human beings. Naturally the main polluting agents are the big industries, but each one of us can also act to avoid the damage to nature. Indeed, we must think that actions that we carry out every day such as driving a vehicle, using non-recyclable plastic containers that end up in the sea or, even, using deodorants with CO2 gases seriously damage the natural ecosystem. Indeed, if we look at the results of these actions, we will observe that each of them cause very damaging effects in nature, such as the marine fauna that ends up swallowing the plastics that end up killing numerous individuals. The same happens with various species of birds such as seagulls, sparrows or pigeons that end up eating human garbage or, finally, even reptiles are poisoned by the poisonous emissions that pollute the air.
It might seem, seen with coldness, that the lives of animals that are victims of pollution, such as a fish, a sparrow or four lizards, do not matter. However, beyond feelings and values, the truth is that the life of the human being depends absolutely on the existence of the set of living beings. Think only of what would happen if a humble insect like the bee disappeared. The consequences would be catastrophic because the natural fecundation of the flowers would not occur. We could find many more examples.
The problem is that of the unconsciousness of the companies and people who carry out these acts harmful to the environment. It is about millions of people acting without taking into account the damage that their attitude produces in nature. However, it is true that a social awareness is taking place in which governments, NGOs, companies and individual citizens participate or acting in an organized manner to carry out actions of different kinds to try to solve these problems. In this sense, the mentioned news item mentions IPBES, an intergovernmental organization that works on measures to protect the natural space and the species that inhabit it to avoid the loss of biodiversity.
Finally, I want to highlight the reasons that have led me to choose this news. First, because of its importance for treating something as important as the environment. Second, for the lack of real knowledge about the causes and damages that human activity is causing in the environment and, finally and thirdly, the catastrophic effects that the lack of attention and solution of this problem can produce in a future.
In my opinion, I believe that the problem of pollution and its effects on the environment should be dealt with more seriously because of the serious dangers and risks involved in not doing anything about it. However, as I said before, I believe that society is beginning to act to solve this problem that I hope will be solved in a few years. I sincerely hope that it is not too late and we are on time. In any case, it seems clear that the human being must begin to think globally and rectify the actions and behaviors that affect the environment, beginning now to adopt the appropriate solutions and measures to solve the problem. The future of our planet depends on it.
