Causes and effects of climate

change
DEFINITION
Climate change refers to long-term
changes in temperatures and weather
patterns. These changes may be natural,
but since the 19th century, human
activities have been the main driver of
climate change, mainly due to the
burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil
and gas, which produce heat-trapping
gases.
Cause
Greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth and
retain the sun's heat. This leads to global
warming and climate change. The world is
warming faster than at any time in recorded
history.
Effect
Rising temperatures over time are changing
weather patterns and upsetting the usual balance
of nature. This poses many risks to humans and
all other forms of life on Earth.
What can large cities do to improve air quality?
Reduce diesel vehicles with high emissions.
Use new vehicles with low emissions, such as Euro IV and above.
Have an efficient public transport system.
Replacing traditional stoves with clean fuel stoves.
Separation and treatment of biodegradable waste, taking
advantage of methane gas.
Reduce the practice of open burning of agricultural waste.
Improve manure management and livestock feeding.
Replace artisanal brick kilns with more efficient kilns.
