Climate change is one of the greatest challenges faced by the human race. There is no country in the world is not experiencing the drastic effects of climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions are 50% more than in 1990. From the California fires to the persistent droughts in the southwest to the record flooding in Europe and Asia, not a single country has been spared.
The Earth’s temperature depends on the balance between the energy entering and leaving the Earth. Many factors can disrupt the harmony between them. Prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s, most of these factors were natural. But now, the main causes of this imbalance are human activities, which release harmful gases and other pollutants. Carbon dioxide (CO2) released by burning fossil fuels and Methane (CH4) produced during the decomposition of wastes in landfills during rice cultivation as well as during ruminant digestion are examples. These two are greenhouse gases. Excessive amounts of these gases lead to global warming which in turn leads to heating up the Earth. This leads to the melting of glaciers and natural disasters.
Given below are some tips to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and save our planet:
Climate change is accelerating, bringing the world dangerously close to an irreversible change. If we don’t act fast, the environment will be destroyed. So, let’s join hands and work together to protect Mother Earth.
