The average weather
condition of a place is called climate. It remains unchanged for a specific
period of time.This is the natural process hence, such change is not considered
as climatic change. But, the change in climate with-in short period of time (5
to 10 years) is unnatural and it is defined as climate change.
Reasons for climate change:
Atmosphere gets heat
from the solar radiation. The heat trapping materials like water vapors, dust,
pollutant, smoke, and heavier particles of gasses like CO2, CO, and CFC trap
more and unnecessary heat from the sun making atmosphere hotter. The
temperature of the atmosphere depends upon the heat trapping materials
presented in the atmosphere. If more heat trapping materials present in
atmosphere, it will get more heat and if less heat trapping materials present
in atmosphere it will get less heat.
Human activities
of mixing such heavier gas particles along with the toxic gases in atmosphere
is really a great help for increasing rate of temperature on the earth surface.
Atmosphere of the earth has been working as a blanket to protect heat of the
earth, Since the formation of the earth. The heat from the sun comes to the
earth but it can not escape from the atmosphere, due to this reason atmospheric
temperature is ever increasing itself. It is also known as "Green House
Effect" (GHE), moreover the human activities of mixing the polluted gases
or dust particles in atmosphere has played a vital role to increase temperature
rapidly, due to these reasons the change in climate may occur within five to
ten years instead of 50 to 60 years.
Adverse effects of climatic change:
Adverse effects of climatic change:
When the temperature of earth increase of the
earth increase abnormally, all living beings including plants and animals can
not adopt with the environment and become extinct. Some of them start to shift
(migrate) towards the colder place if possible; otherwise destruction is
unavoidable. Such migration of plants and animals starts from the hottest place
like tropical zone to cooler place like temperature zone and from temperate
zone to frizzed zone again. One day will come in future that all living things
will become extinct from the whole world and the earth becomes deserted place,
if this burning issue couldn't be checked or controlled.
Ever increasing
temperature or global warming badly affects the mountainous regions too. One
day we will have such a situation in the near future that, all the snow in the
mountain peak will melt and change in to water, heavy amount of water reaches
to the oceans and sea through rivers, which causes for the rise of sea level
and small islands along with the coastal plain sink down into ocean and
on the other hand, glacial lakes will be overflowed and there occurs the
landslides and flood. Rivers become dry in winter season. Rainfalls in the
mountainous region in place of snow; there will be no water at all in dry
season. This is the reality of the future but we may think this fact as a
hypothesis. So that lets start to work together for the preservation of our earth
and its environment.
Measures to control the
global warming and climate change:
- Natural vegetation is the key factor for the cleansing
of the atmosphere and environment. Forest regulates the amount of gases in
the atmosphere as well as controls over the fluctuation of weather
condition so that mass afforestation should be done in each corner of the
earth.
- Mixing of harmful gases like CO2, CO and CFC in
atmosphere should be minimized for this, emphasis should be given for the
use of renewable resources.
- Industrial waste can be recycled and
filtered before mixing up in atmosphere, this type of activity helps to
minimize the atmosphere pollution.
- Human waste and drain pipes should not be ended in the
river, pond and ope surface. These can also be recycled and reused.(Like
manure)
- Everybody should plan and contribute for the
preservation of environment before to plan for economic activities (e.g.
Opening of industry)
- Each nation of the world should co-operate the joint
action launched by world organization whole heatedly for the protection
and preservation of the Environment.
- We have achieved a lot of materials happiness and economic prosperity, due to the development of science and technology, but where is that place to live and consume these happiness? Lets think from today onwards.
