 We are at the point in the world we’re anything will affect climate change for the good or the bad. So I would like to go deeper in urbanization and how just building the structures such as houses, apartments. And even big office buildings is having a negative affect on climate change. Buildings and their construction together are responsible for 36% of global energy use and 39% o& energy related to carbon emissions. It doesn’t seem like a lot but think about how many houses that are built a year with also the building of office buildings and apartments. I know everyone wants to have their dream house but wouldn’t you want to have a life in it because how’s it’s looking, you might not have much time if we don’t stop the increase rate of climate change. Then the building operations are responsible for 28% of emissions annually which makes me think if we had ever had a high in emissions because I’m picturing New York and how many building there are in Times Square. We may have hit some good news with these construction companies, they are reducing carbon emissions so that they can meet the Paris climate agreement. Which aims to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. -Ky’on Bass
