The responsibility of people regarding global warming and its prevention is a fact underpinned by theories aimed at describing the connection between their actions and the negative outcome in terms of this problem. This situation is complicated by the lack of awareness of the scope of the potential influence of the world population and the unwillingness to take measures until the crisis emerges. Therefore, it is no wonder that the concerns of geography include both climate and demography since these notions are interrelated (Hunt & Colander, 2016). From this perspective, social science can serve as the link between humans and nature, which is essential for the resolution of the specified issue. Indeed, it is difficult to cover all the aspects of the matter, such as agriculture, transportation, fossil fuel mining, and many others. Meanwhile, it is clear that any kind of human activity inevitably affects the issue of global warming, sometimes in the most unexpected ways.
The inability to find a balance between human needs and the consequences of their realization for the environment leads to conflict resulting in global warming. However, indeed, the situation is not improving under the influence of numerous initiatives and policies developed by world governments (Smelser & Reed, 2012). It allows a conclusion on the necessity to take personal responsibility for the outcomes of human activity. Considering the rapid pace of climate change and global warming combined with the lack of modifications in terms of the necessity to readjust the political efforts, individual actions seem to be an optimal approach. Meanwhile, it is impossible to assess the usefulness of this approach due to the absence of prior evidence. Therefore, its benefits for the resolution of the specified issues remain dubious.
