A Self-realization on Climate Change

Bad news is bad indeed. Climate change is not a future problem rather it is a present problem. Climate change represents as one of the environmental, social, economic threats facing the planet. It is only a long term, significant change in the average weather that a given region experiences. Average weather may include average temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. It involves changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere over durations ranging from decades to millions of years.

However, warmer waters in the shallow oceans contributes to the death of about quarter of the world’s coral reef in the last few decades. Because of warmer temperature it may affects human health, this may lead to death due to heat waves and more allergy attacks as the pollen seasons grow longer. Warmer temperature that have led to more intense rainfall events in some areas can cause much flooding. And as the temperature warms, species may either move to cooler habitat or die. And because of too much heat there is tendency that the mountain glaciers in all areas of the world may decrease in size an so has the amount of permafrost. For seawater it will become acidic that might have impacts on coral reefs and marine life. With those effects of climate change, is this what we want to happen? Definitely NO!

Most of those happenings nor effects that is now slowly occurring is very likely to have been caused by human activities. Human activities that contributed to climate change including the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and kaingin, which causes the emission of carbon dioxide—the main gas responsible for climate change as well as of other greenhouse gases.

Destruction of properties, deaths, starvation, sickness or illnesses will happen because of our very erroneous actions. Our mother nature is crying. And to save her from total destructions, let us plant trees because it’s our life, our survival. Planting trees is one of the essential actions in saving our lives and world as a world. Therefore, let ourselves be much educated for climate change is harmful to every mankind.
