Climate Change

                                                             

In this era of industrialization, Climate change is a very common issue. Climate consists air temperature, winds, rain and occurrence of sudden weather events. So, Climate change is a broad term which includes variations in atmosphere, rise in temperature, unpredictability of forecast and natural disasters like floods, droughts etc.

Fossil fuels

Fossil fuels are the remains of dead plants and animals buried under the earth’s crust from long time such as diesel, kerosene, gasoline, natural and petrochemicals as well which includes plastics, fertilizers etc. Secondly, black carbons are also cause global warming which are the unburned tiny particles release from burning of fossil fuels, biomass and biofuels.

Due to the burning of fossil fuels the earth’s temperature will tends to increase, the most important climate change impacts are diseases, rising sea levels, decrease food security, droughts and hurricanes. The black carbons are extremely small which can easily enter into the human body, into bloodstream and cause several diseases like malaria, dengue.

As the overall temperature increased, entire ecosystem will change, and the rainfall structure may also suffer. Instead of average rainfall, some areas which face higher level of rainfall leads to floods and on the other hand, areas with less or no rainfall face situations like droughts. Owing to the ecosystem imbalances, there is less food security because every crop grows in different whether conditions like corn and wheat, if there is always rise in temperature or ups and downs in the rainfall levels then productivity suffers.

Human activities

Humans are also responsible for the climate change. Some of the human activities may give birth to the emission of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which mainly produced by human activities, almost 64% of CO2 is emitted by human. On the other hand, rest of the gases are emitted in lesser amount, but they produce heat in higher quantity than carbon dioxide. 17% of methane and 6% of nitrous oxide is emitted from man-made activities.

These gases may lead to rise in temperature and cause greenhouse effect which become the reason of climate change. As per the studies, it is concluded that 95% of greenhouse gases are human produced.

Deforestation

It refers to the cutting of trees for any reason like clearing land for expanding agriculture, making infrastructure, making dams etc. Deforestation is the result of both natural and human activities. The main human activities are timber extraction, firewood collection, road construction, infrastructure development etc. and hurricanes, fires and floods are some natural reasons.

Timberlands, infact, have a significant task to carry out for air and atmosphere. Each tree produces, by and large, 20-30 liters of oxygen for each day. Specifically, virgin tropical backwoods create around 28 tons of oxygen for every hectare consistently, proportional to a sum of 15,300 million tons for every year. Forests also plays an important role in the water cycle process. They also help to maintain the fertility of the soil.

Burning and cutting of tress in the excessive manner puts effects on the climate change as they release greenhouse gases while burning which increase the earth’s temperature and decreases the amount of carbon dioxide. Further, deforestation can also cause dryer soil due to the less water in the atmosphere and it further leads to the inability to grow crops. Moreover, deforestation causes soil erosion which is the removal of the upper layer of the soil and it decreases the fertility of the soil. Floods is also the cause of the cutting of the trees. The deforested hillsides after the heavy rainfall are the places to be more effected.

Livestock Farming

Livestock farming is raising of animals for use or for pleasure. A productive and prosperous creature agribusiness generally has been the characteristic of a solid, well-created country. Moreover, some people do livestock farming for meat and meat products because meat is known for its high nutritive worth, creating more grounded, more beneficial individuals and is consumed worldwide.

Livestock farming is beneficial, but it affects the environment. As per the FAO, almost 37% of methane is produced from the digestive system of cattle and 65% of nitrous oxide gases from the manure. All these gases are harmful for our environment and it became the reasons of climate change. To feed the animals farmers grow large quantity of corn and hay grown on there agriculture lands. To protects the crops from pests’ farmers, use pesticides and insecticides and to improve the soil quality of the field fertilizers are used on the fields. Using these kinds of pesticides and fertilizers pollute the environment and cause the soil erosion. Further, many antibiotics are used in the livestock industry and this led to the many health related problems of the consumers also. Many people have lost their lives also.

Fluorinated gasses

Fluorinated gases are a group of man-made gases utilized in a scope of mechanical applications. These can be found in the appliances like refrigeration, air-conditioning systems and in the fire extinguishers. Since they don’t harm the barometrical ozone layer, they are frequently utilized alternative for ozone-draining substances. In any case, F-gases are incredible ozone depleting substances, with a worldwide temperature alteration impact up to 23,000 times more noteworthy than carbon dioxide (CO2), and their discharges are rising unequivocally.

F-gases are used in several types of products and appliances, mainly as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and halons which are being phased out under the Montreal Protocol.

Conclusion

In contrast, natural and human both activities are responsible for the climate change. We can’t stop the natural activities, but we can control our human activities to save our Earth. Firstly, we must reduce the emissions like use public transport instead of cars and start saving natural resources. We should eat the climate suitable food or eat meat free meals. We must use the practice of 3 P’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) to reduce wastage. Moreover, eliminate the cutting of forests and plant more and more trees. There is a need to control the population increase as population is increasing day by day and we don’t have enough resources to fulfill the demands of people.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
