Climate Change
Climate is the earth’s normal weather over a very long time. Usually it takes hundreds or thousands
of years to change the climate. Recently, it is noticed that climate is changing much faster. It will be
harder for plants, animals and people over the world to survive due to the changing climate.
The main cause of climate change is humans. We use fossil fuels, cut tress even when it is not
needed because of these activities greenhouse gases are released like carbon dioxide, methane.
These gases are the main reason for the global warming which influences the climate. Climate
change is not just change in temperature of the different areas of the world but is also change in the
pattern of rainfall, wind patterns, cyclone, rise in sea level. It affects all major life groups on the
planet in some way or the other.
Rapid industrialisation, increase in the population growth and pollution and pollution are leading to
climate change. The reason why climate change is dangerous is because it disturbs overall ecology of
the planet. The most significant challenge we encounter today is climate change. Therefore many
effects of climate change such as increase in occurrence of floods, cyclones are seen. Climate change
also a great impact on different areas like health, agriculture, infrastructure. Due to the rise in
temperature the vector borne diseases like malaria, dengue are occurring and the pandemic caused
by coronavirus is not hidden such viruses have evolved which can be linked to climate change. The
rise in temperature cause drought which affect agriculture. The occurrence of disasters caused by
change in climate destroy infrastructure.
To prevent climate change we can follow different steps like, planting of trees, use of renewable
source of energy like solar energy, use of eco friendly products, reduce use of cars, use five R’s-
“Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Refuse and Recover”. Recycle means to transform plastic products into
resource, Reuse means to re-utilise the same plastic bags for same purpose or the other, Reduce
means to avoid plastics and use biodegradable products, Refuse means not using plastic and Recover
means making new things out of waste plastics.
It is high time to focus on climate change or else it will be extremely dangerous for every living
species. Climate change is global problem thus the world must be united to solve this problem before
it is too late.
