GLOBAL WARMING

GLOBAL WARMING

  The earth temperature is rising rapidly after the industrialization.

There is a fine line between human progress and environmental degradation. The human population has exploded since the advent of industrialization, with serious consequences for the natural world. Increases in both population and technology have had unintended consequences, such as the cutting down of trees, the release of harmful chemicals into the environment, and the consequent warming of the planet's atmosphere. Both topics that focus on lessening humanity's toll on the planet and those that seek to learn more about the natural world may be found here. 

The thawing of glacier is a worldwide occurrence, especially at the poles. This includes the ice found in the Arctic seas and glaciers, as well as the ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica. Glacier in Wyoming formerly had more than 150 glaciers, but now there are just around 30 left. Most of the ice that is melting is really raising sea levels. Average global sea level increase each year is 0.13 inches (3.2 millimeters). Over the last decade, this tendency has intensified, and it is anticipated to increase much more in the upcoming decades. Climate change is having an impact on wildlife and their habitats. The loss of 90 percent or more of certain Adeline chick populations on Antarctica's western slope is a severe concern for the birds. As the weather changes, many mammal species are on the move.

 There have been northern migrations of foxes and butterflies, and certain alpine plants have adapted to life at higher, colder elevations. Precipitation (rain or snow) is increasing at a pace that is higher than in the past. Concerns about crop damage, water shortages, and wildfires are especially high in these places where the drought is very severe. A rising number of agricultural and wildlife pests have been recorded, including mosquitoes, parasites, polyps, and others. The exponential population increase of bark beetles, which consume coniferous trees like birch and pine, has wiped out vast swaths of forest throughout the United States. Due to increased effort required to maintain a healthy core temperature, people with cardiac issues, especially those who reside in already warm locations, are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Ozone levels, which may be detrimental to the lungs and worsen the symptoms of asthma and other respiratory problems, tend to increase in tandem with temperature. Extreme heat has a disproportionately harmful effect on the health of the elderly and the sick. This pattern was first noticed during the 2003 heat wave that killed 35,000 people in Europe. A study from the United Kingdom's Hadley Center for Climate Change Forecasting and Investigation found that greenhouse gases increase the likelihood of heat waves. 

The most common health effect is hyperthermia, often known as heat stroke, which may be fatal if left untreated. Hot days will be followed by hot nights, according to projections by the Intergovernmental Panel. Global warming-related droughts might make life much more challenging for people, particularly in Africa. The World Wildlife Fund warns that millions of people might lose access to safe drinking water and healthy food due to changes in rainfall patterns brought on by climate change. Due to a predicted 50% decline in agricultural productivity, the IPCC predicts that anywhere from 75% to 25% of the Middle Eastern population are without access to clean water by the year 2020. Temperature increases might lead to a food shortage for Malaysia's 130 million people. The danger of malaria, dengue fever, and other insect-borne diseases is expected to rise as temperatures rise in tropical regions like Africa. It's not only those places that are struggling. Malaria outbreaks in the United States ranged in severity, and in 2006, the Commonwealth was hit by an epidemic of legionnaires' disease, a bacterial lung ailment that experts believe is linked to rising global temperatures. The World Health Organization warns that warmer temperatures will lead to a dramatic rise in insect-borne illnesses throughout Europe. In terms of mosquito-borne malaria, countries like Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, and Turkey may already be at risk. It's true that people from different parts of the world have varying degrees of tolerance for temperature swings. 

Technological progress is used by increasingly affluent cultures; for instance, stronger air conditioners are used and dwellings are built to reduce heat retention. However, underdeveloped nations lack not just the informational and technical capacity to avert such pandemics, but also the financial and human health infrastructure to effectively do so. Positively, many nations have come to terms with global warming's dire effects. The Supreme Court of the United States has mandated that the federal government investigate possible regulations on carbon dioxide emissions. Some 1,300 protesting events have been scheduled in the U.s. under the Move It Up 2007 banner, with demonstrators calling for the government to cut emissions by up to 80% by 2050 in major cities including Boston and New York. Sydney, Australia residents and businesses went dark to draw attention to the global warming crisis. Similarly, businesses are starting to understand that they must adopt greener practises. PepsiCo, a world wide beverage and snack company, wants to acquire 750 million kilowatt hours of renewables over the next year. However, the promise of those countries that contribute for the greatest accumulation of greenhouse gases is necessary to make the greatest impact on reducing the warming of the planet.
