Global Warming and Intergenerational Equity Challenge- Peter Okediya
About 250,000 years ago, humans started using fire for various life activities. As time went by, we realized the energy potentials of water, wind and wood. Several years after, the use of steam engines ushered in the industrial revolution. Consequently, crude oil, a more effective energy source was discovered, which was used first in producing kerosene, then, to more complex usages. These series of changes in the conduct of human activities led to radical changes in our climate leading to the extinction of more than 99% of all species that ever lived.[2] Hence, the contention relayed in this paper, which is in line with the topic, is that global warming is an enormous threat to the future of mankind.
