Global Warming is the increase in the temperature of the surface of the earth. Over the past century, this change has been drastic, and because of this change, we are facing many major problems. If we see the temperature change,it is gradual, but this gradual change has long-term side effect
We have to pay attention to this matter now before reaching
the stage where there is no going back. We are not giving importance to this
issue as we do not know why this is happening and what are the reasons behind
this issue and how we can solve this issue.
What Is Global Warming?
Global Warming is caused due to greenhouse gases and other
pollutants that do not let the radiation of the sun leave the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature of the earth. According to the
research, the increase in the temperature of the surface of the earth in the
past century is one-degree Fahrenheit.
Surface scientists started to notice an increase in
temperature. And today this temperature change has started to affect our
weather and climate. The balance in the ecosystem has disturbed. According to
researches if the temperature changes then after some period, the earth would
not be able to support life. It is like a threat to the life of humans as well
as animals.
What Are The Effects Of Global Warming?
We might think that the temperature change is small, but we
do not know that the earth already started to suffer because of this small
change. Here are some of the effects of global Warming:
· From the 21st
century, every coming year is the warmest year in the last 100 years, which
means that the temperature of the earth is now increasing every year. The
heatwaves in the past years have caused a lot of deaths in the world.
· As a result of global warming, we
are also facing the problem of extreme weather. It means that we are not only
facing hotter summer, but the winter is also colder than usual. The weather
pattern in some countries has changed. In some countries, the weather is
completely unexpected.
· This increase in temperature is causing, the glaciers to melt, and the snow is also melting early. This
leads to a problem like droughts. And if this continues to happen at this rate,
the world will face extreme water shortages. It will also lead to a rise in sea
level, which will cause a coastal flood.
· As global warming is
increasing at a rapid rate due to pollutants in the atmosphere, so it will also
lead to many health problems like asthma, infectious diseases, and
disease-related mosquitos.
· Forests, farms, and many
habitats are in danger because of these heatwaves, floods, storms, and lack of
water.
· As we all know that the
species cannot adapt to the environment as easily as humans, and this is the
main reason that many species are at the risk of extinction. To our despair,
many species have become extinct because of this climate change.
· As a result of increased
temperature and CO2 in the oceans, many ocean species are also in danger. It is
expected that if the increase in the acidity of the ocean continues to happen
so rapidly, then the coral reefs will become extinct.
What Kind Of Human Activities Are Causing It?
It is said that the cause of global warming are humans.
Here are some human activities that are causing global Warming:
· The Burning Of Fossil
Fuels: is one of the major causes of global Warming as it adds a lot of CO2
pollution to the atmosphere.
· Deforestation: is
another cause of global warming as trees play an important role in maintaining
the balance in our ecosystem by absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen.
· Farming: plays
another major role in global Warming as the livestock animals are the cause of
the release of methane gas which is a greenhouse gas.
What are the P5 countries doing to tackle this global climate issue?
These are the strategies they are the following:
· By spreading knowledge
about the side effects of global forming and how to prevent this.
· Switching towards renewable
energy like solar or wind energy.
· Focusing on
energy-efficient appliances to reduce CO2 emissions.
· By moving towards
fuel-efficient vehicles.
· By utilizing our resources
properly.
· Motivating people to plant
more trees
