What does climate change mean?

Climate Change is the biggest problem of the world nowadays. Climate change can define as the description of the variation of temperature, wind and so forth. Nowadays, climate change is a major problem because it fluctuates very frequently.

From the survey, we can say that climate change is increasing continuously from 1850 to 2020 as per graph. Earlier, like in 1850 temperature was down but then as per some reason’s climate is continuously changing due to an industrial area, increase usage of vehicles and many more. As we can see in a photo,

Causes of Climate Change:

There are lots of causes of climate change. As chart describes, there are many aspects for causes of climate change.

Here are some details about those factors who plays a major role in climate change:

1. Deforestation:

Right now, people are continuously cutting trees to fulfill their requirements. Trees are helpful for maintaining climate, I mean temperature. Trees take carbon dioxide and explore oxygen which is helpful for all of us. However, we just cut them up and reducing the level of oxygen in the atmosphere. The consequence, it creates the greenhouse effect and we all know that how greenhouse is harmful to us for example, it impacts on the ozone layer, so the ultraviolet rays are coming directly to the earth. Due to ultraviolet rays, radiation is going high on earth which is called as a greenhouse.

 

2. Industries:

The second and the major cause of climate change is Industries. The industrial area is the biggest responsible for air pollution. They emit their gases in the air and that kind of thing is happening all corner of the world. Nowadays, industrial area is expanding I mean people do deforestation for their industries that means it impacts on climate. Because of industries they cut trees and expand their industries is increasing day by day in the atmosphere. We all know if is increased greenhouse effect is an increase. It works like,

Co₂ = Greenhouse

So as per those reasons, industries are the major responsibility for climate change.

3. Vehicles:

Nowadays, a personal vehicle becomes a trend. Most people prefer their own vehicle nowadays. They avoid the government vehicles I mean buses, trains etc. for traveling in fact, it’s a solution for decrease the number of vehicles. Due to the use of government vehicles, we can reduce climate change as vehicles emit lots of gas ( Co₂ ) in the atmosphere and, we can solve the problem of traffic.

Globally, transport energy accounts for 20% of the total greenhouse gas emissions, while US transport accounts for 38% of the domestic greenhouse effect.

 

Effects of Climate change:

Impact of climate change on earth is one of the worst things. We all rely on climate that means if climate will change, it will be an effect on our life (the effects of climate change, n.d.).

As we can see in this chart, climate change affects a lot like global warming, economics lifestyles any many more.

1. Due to climate change, global warming is increasing day by day. Global warming is the only reason for break the ozone layer in the atmosphere. The consequence, UV rays are coming directly come to the earth and radiation is increasing which is harmful to everybody. Temperature is increasing day by day because of global warming.
2. As per the economics point of view, 1 percent GDP already go down and 20 percent lower all over the globe. Due to climate change, our agriculture department is going to progress. Industries emit their gases in the free air and, they cut trees to expanding their industries, so it impacts a lot on agriculture. Due to high temperature, all plants and trees cannot survive a long. Then we must import wheat, rice, seeds and so on., which impacts on our GDP.
3. The most and the major effect of climate change is a lifestyle. We all rely on climate. Due to climate change, an ecosystem is continuously breaking, so it directly impacts our lives for example, for making medicines we kill sea animals like fishes that means we break the ecosystem. Due to climate change, some animals vanished like Piranha fish and birds like Sparrow.

What steps can lead to solving these issues?

Firstly, we should know that weather and climate both are different.

Weather	Climate
Weather is short-term and it has a limited area.  Weather changes frequently area by area so It’s difficult to predict.	Climate is long term which has a wide area. Climate changes season by season and it’s predictable over a long span of time.

For the solution, we have lots of aspects that can help to reduce climate change which explains below:

1. Heating and cooling: People can use the latest technology in their house to reduce electricity as an evidence they can install thermostat which regulates room temperature. Moreover, we must do plantation near our home.

2. Conserve Hot Water: As per a survey, around 20% of energy use for heat water. As the system in Canada, the Government must install water income and outgoing meter. Only run the dishwasher if it’s full.

3. Conserve in the Car: We must reduce the use of vehicles. Make sure our engine is properly shutting off. We encourage public transportation. Prefer smaller vehicles or hybrid.

4. Conserve Electricity: We must unplug our cell phones and other appliances when we are not using them. Install timers and motion sensors for energy saving.

5. Reduce Waste: We must buy those products which can be recycled. Avoid the use of polyethnic and use the cloth bags for shopping. Use a refillable bottle instead of use and throw the bottle.
