Scientists all over the world are saying that climatic change impacts are going to get a lot worse in the near future. As the planet continues to warm, extreme weather events are on the rise and their intensity is also increasing. It makes it more extreme and disturbs established patterns inviting more disasters in future. The global warming is one of the main reasons for such climatic changes and natural disasters.
Many of us do not have clear knowledge about global warming. It is the increase in Earth's average surface temperature including oceans due to effects of green house gases such as carbon dioxide gas emission and its concentration beyond permissible limits. Its effects are widespread, which we are experiencing right from arctic region to retreat of glaciers, rise in sea levels and expansions of deserts. Other likely effects are heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall, heavy snowfall, ocean acidification and ultimately extinction of species.
Significant effects to humans include threats to food security and loss of habitat due to inundation. The recent. Floods in J&K, and Uttarakhand are glaring examples of the climatic disasters.
Today it is a big challenge before all the countries how to prevent dangerous effects of climatic change and the UN has adopted resolution to this effect. As far as we are concerned we have a duty towards mitigation by emission reduction and building systems resilient to its effects.
Most simple way to contribute towards the cause is to plant more and more plants and increase green cover around us. We must protect the forest cover and prevent its destruction. We must educate the society to be more and more conscious to contribute towards preservation of the treasure of the nature and make our planet safe for living.
