CLIMATE CHANGE:
Now a days our world is facing so many challenges, in these challenges climate change is the most important one. Climate is usually defined as the "average weather" in a place. It includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. Climate patterns play an important role in determining natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.
According to many researches and articles the main reason of climate change is the rising levels of carbon dioxide, rising sea levels; melting snow and ice; more extreme heat events, fires and drought and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere have warmed the Earth.
According to James Balog:
“Climate change is real. Climate change is being substantially increased by humans and the carbon we put into the atmosphere. And it appears to be speeding up. If science has made any mistakes, science has been underestimating it”.
CAUSES AND IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
The causes of climate change that divided in to two categories: human cause, natural causes. Actually humans are the main cause of climate change. In human causes the leading cause is Deforestation, it is done for building purposes, to increase unsustainable farming or production of paper goods or other unnecessary "things" and the other most important cause of climate change by humans is industrial activities. When humans burn coal, oil and gas to generate electricity or drive our cars, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, and it is cause of global warming. Like humans, nature is also involved to change the climate rapidly. The main causes are increase in temperature, changing in precipitation pattern, volcanic eruption, ocean currents, and soil radiations, wildfire and heat waves also major cause of climate change. Many other causes are also involved to change the climate but these are the major causes.
FACTS ABOUT CLIMTE CHANGE:
Loss of biodiversity is the main fact of climate change, natural disaster also occur due to climatic change, Global warming turns some areas of the earth hotter or drier while others are turned the opposite direction wetter and colder. Global warming creates opposites in the nature – on one side Amazon rain forest is turning into desert and Sahara is becoming greener and greener. Human activities release around 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. Droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, extinction on endangered species, melting of polar ice caps, storms are few of the effects of climate change. The shocking impacts of climate change are definitely a nature’s way. Human beings can be called ‘men of wisdom’ only if we are prepared and already taking action to save the world from such terrible effects of climate change.
10 THINGS WE CAN DO TO HELP TO STOP EXTENSIVE CHANGE ON CLIMATE CHANGE:
- Reduce the energy use.
- Change the way you think about transportation
- Insulate your home
- Make every drop count
- Cool wash and hang to dry
- High efficiency appliances
- Switch to “green power
- Recycle
- Repurpose
- Plants, our new best friend
Therefore, by adopting these steps we can reduces the causes and impacts of climate change that arouse from an extensive use of technologies being great contributors are human beings along with natural factors also through these we could definitely save our environment and these steps could balance our eco-system and globe.
