Climate Change

Have you ever wondered if climate change is really a problem? Climate change is a change in global or regional climate patterns, largely due to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere produced by the use of fossil fuels Climate change has been described as one of the greatest global health threats of the 21st century

First, the rapid temperature rise last year caused nearly 38.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide to be pumped into the air of all the countries of the world combined Global carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing at a rate of more than 2% per year, due to the rapid industrialization of countries such as China and India The planet's average surface temperature has increased by about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century Sixteen of the seventeen hottest years on record 136 years have occurred since the end of the 19th century 2001, with the exception of 1998 2016 was the hottest year on record The rapidly changing climate makes agriculture a more vulnerable business With changes in rainfall patterns, farmers face the dual threat of flooding and drought, both of which have the potential to destroy crops For these reasons and other extreme events such as heat waves occur This trend continued in 2011 and 2012, with the number of intense heat waves nearly three times the long-term average The analyzes show that anthropogenic climate change has generally increased the likelihood of heat waves High temperatures accelerate evaporation, including water loss from leaves, leading to drought.Many places in Texas and Oklahoma have had temperatures above 100°F for 100 days or more Atlantic hurricane activity has also increased significantly since the early 1980s Increased activity is associated with rising sea surface temperatures in the regions where hurricanes originate and migrate in the Atlantic Eventually sea level rises and as the water warms it expands and takes up more space Half of the sea level rise in the last 100 years is due to expanding ocean warming Glaciers and ice caps at both poles naturally melt each summer, in return for the snow to melt in winter Due to rising temperatures due to global warming, the amount of summer ice melt is above average Rising temperatures are rapidly melting the huge ice sheets that cover Greenland and Antarctica. More and more ice sheets are melting each year, which will contribute to future sea level rise
In summary, climate change has been described as one of the greatest global health threats of the 21st century In general, I am thinking of agriculture, extreme weather conditions and sea level rise, it affects mainly people on earth and endangers our way of life Unless the world's superpowers don't come together to agree to stop burning fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy , we will not be able to solve this inevitable problem!
