Recently, the temperature in Xinjiang has plummeted, the lake has frozen, and the geese and swans seem to be frozen, showing the wonder and beauty of nature. However, during this time, 500,000 cows have died in Mongolia due to the cold climate. This exhibition of ice and snow sculptures not only shows the world the magnificent natural scenery, but also shows the world the serious challenges facing global warming.
This situation cannot be ignored. First of all, we need to realize that the emergence of glaciers and the extinction of livestock are caused by this extreme weather. With the increasing frequency of global warming and climate change, more and more extreme weather is occurring. This problem has had a profound impact on human society, and at the same time, it has also brought irreparable damage to the ecosystem.
From a practical point of view, we have to ask, why is there such a climate? The most likely cause is the warming of the planet. Scientific studies have shown that anthropogenic carbon dioxide release is a significant contributor to global temperature increases. So, we have to do something to reduce our greenhouse effect, and thus our greenhouse effect.
In addition, the large number of ice sculptures and the large number of frozen cattle pose a real question: how should humanity face the challenges brought about by global warming? In the case of Mongolia, it is important for Mongolia and society as a whole to take immediate steps to provide the affected herders with the relief and supplies they need. In addition, there is a need for extensive global collaboration to conduct research on strategies and technologies to combat global warming.
None of us can remain indifferent to this issue. Individuals should strengthen the concept of environmental protection, advocate energy conservation, and reduce pollution. At the same time, the state and enterprises should also strengthen investment in the research and development of renewable energy and environmental technology to promote sustainable development.
Overall, the exhibition of ice sculptures and the news that livestock have been frozen to death are a wake-up call to the problems caused by global warming and to find a way out. Let's join hands to create a better tomorrow for the planet that humanity lives on. We are all part of it, and our actions will affect our planet. Let us show by our actions that we have the ability and will to overcome this challenge and build a better planet for the next generation.

At the same time, while the number of women of childbearing age is increasing, the birth rate of New Zealand women has been declining in the last 10 years, especially among women in their 30s.
As a result of the decline in the number of newborns, the fertility rate has fallen to a new level of only 156 children, 1 in 202266, 1. in 202164, 1 in 202061 pcs.
2. Netizen: "I can't have children!"
In short, mortality rates generally increase in the context of population growth and social ageing, but the number of newborns is affected by more complex social and demographic factors, and is dynamic.
Rebecca Hnessi, a researcher and analyst, said: "While the overall birth rate may decrease depending on the age of childbearing, the latest decline also shows that the current situation is that the number of families per capita is decreasing, while the proportion of children without children is increasing. ”
Hennessey said that the rising cost of living, the ** rent, and the higher and higher house prices all have a certain impact.
Some people say that this is the trend of the world.
The high cost of living, climate change, and harsh geography are not surprising, as is the case in France and Germany, as well as in New Zealand. ”
Wow, it's like two people have to work to buy daily necessities such as houses, food, and utilities, which is not ideal. ”
Can you take everything we need? ”
Considering global warming, considering the cost of raising children, I can understand why many people would give up on having children. ”
If you have children, you can't get a foothold in the real estate industry. ”
It is state-funded. ”
The local news agency, RNZ, also said on its blog that the birth rate is declining worldwide as more women have access to higher education, more job opportunities, and more birth control methods.
