Human actions ranging from pollution to overpopulation are raising the earth's temperature
and, as a result, radically altering the environment around us. The main cause is a
phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect, in which gases in the atmosphere such as water
vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons let the sun's light in but prevent
some of the heat from escaping, similar to the glass walls of a greenhouse. The more
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more heat gets trapped, strengthening the greenhouse
effect and increasing the earth's temperature.
Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities such as the use of fossil fuels have raised
the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere by more than a third. While Earth's temperature has
changed in the past and atmospheric carbon dioxide hasn't reached today's level in hundreds
of thousands of years, climate change has implications for our seas, weather, food supply, and
health.
Greenland and Antarctica's ice sheets are melting, causing sea levels to rise and spill into the
oceans, flooding coastal regions. Warmer temperatures also make weather more extreme,
resulting in not only more intense major storms, floods, and heavy snowfall, but also longer
and more frequent droughts. These changes in weather pose challenges for growing crops.
Plant and animal habitats are shifting, and water resources are dwindling.
In addition to posing new agricultural challenges, climate change can have a direct impact on
people's physical health in urban areas. A warmer atmosphere traps and increases the amount
of smog, which is because smog contains ozone particles, which increase rapidly at higher
temperatures. Exposure to higher levels of smog can cause health problems such as asthma,
heart disease, and lung cancer.
Is there a hope?
Considering that we've been disregarding researchers' admonitions since the 80s to restrict
outflows, we're late. Be that as it may, we've at last arrived at a second where practically
every nation concurs this is an immense issue and appears to be prepared to focus on taking
it. An activity in any event of some kind. Professional organizations will continue to make
big promises to do their part. Low-discharge advancements will improve, and many cities and
states will go well beyond any goals established by their public governments. The United
States, the world's largest economy, is now starting to move firmly, and China, the world's
largest producer, is beginning to see that it should be doing the same, since large numbers of
its megacity urban populations would be swamped if oceans rise extremely high. In any
event, it is up to us, the regular citizens, to keep advocating that our politicians tackle changes
in the environment, the most difficult challenge that mankind ever has faced.
