economic growth vs global warming

People have been arguing about the impact of economic growth which is the increasing amount of greenhouse gases that leads to a rise in the rate of global warming.

No doubt that the global economic growth is a good thing especially when the big companies such as Mcdonald’s and Nike are providing job opportunities for those who need these jobs and it decreases the rate of idleness in poor countries such as India and the Philippines where they build their huge factories . In countries like India there are many married men in the countryside far away from the civilization who are working very hard every day just to provide for their family’s needs. For those men whose main aim in life is providing the best life to their family they are thankful to these companies.

On the other hand, many scientists believe that climate change is a threat to the future of the planet and if the economic growth is still increasing it will increase the amount of harmful gases such as greenhouse gases which are the main cause of global warming so the rate of greenhouse gases will be very high in India because it has many big factories and if the rate is still going up India will suffer more than any other country from global warming as the scientists are saying.

In conclusion, economic growth is a good thing for poor countries but it’s also causing a huge problem which is global warming. In my opinion I would say that economic growth will not lead to the destruction of our planet.
