Global warming is the next global warning - With the current change in climate and sea level increase, it can be said that global warming is the next global warning. There has been lot of changes in the global climate because of global warming.
With the current change in climate and sea level increase, it
can be said that
global warming is
the next global warning. There has been lot of changes in the global climate
because of
global warming.
Global warming did not occur overnight.
It has happened over a period of time. Slowly and gradually with rise in power
plants and other industries in world, more and more pollutants were released
not just in air but in water too. With these pollutants out, a lot of reactions
were and are taking place in our environment.
Global
warming is the result of greenhouse effect. What is greenhouse
effect? Well, it is heating up of the surface of any planet due to presence of
gases in the atmosphere. These gases are called
greenhouse gases. These gases when released in the atmosphere trap
heat within the atmosphere. This results in rise in earth’s temperature. Generally, earth gets its light from
Sun. Almost fifty percent of sun’s energy is
absorbed by earth’s surface.
Earth radiated this energy in form of infrared range.
Greenhouse gases absorb this range and retain it. In fact,
greenhouse gases can trap heat for
years in them.
Global warming is not
just limited to increase in temperature. It also results in global climate change.
With change in climate and rise in earth’s temperature, glaciers around the world can be
observed and it has been noticed that they are melting. Melting of glaciers at
this high rate can be threatening. This is resulting in an increase in the sea
levels. With expansion of water in sea, it will intrude in ground water. It can
also result in scarcity of drinking water. With salty water mixing up with the
ground water, we can face the problem of less drinking water in future. Hence,
the risk of flood is more at coastal areas. If we look at it in future, this
might result in earth merging under water as well.
Global
warming can result in extreme weather situations. It also means a
lot of natural calamities. These natural calamities can be floods, droughts,
cyclones, volcanoes, heat strokes etc. Also, we cannot run away from the fact
that with extreme changes in weather and climate conditions, human beings will
also be affected. It is not sure whether we will be able to cope up with such
extreme situations physically. With so many natural calamities and physical
challenges around, it would be very difficult for the human race to maintain
their existence on earth.
Due to rise in temperature, new diseases might multiply in
new atmospheric conditions. This can lead to more medical and health issues
with future generations. Countries across the world are pledging today to fight
against
global warming for a secure
and healthy future for their citizens. It is imperative that we as individuals
also start taking initiatives to stop
global
warming. It can be done by doing small things like carpool, using cloth
bags for shopping and not wasting power.
