Effects of climate change?
Climate change is a major global challenge today, and the world is becoming
more vulnerable to this. It is a serious problem that needs immediate attention.
It has several negative impacts on human lives as well:
Weather change
Increasing temperature causes warming oceans and lead to change in
weather and rainfall pattern which threats both urban and rural
population.
Effects human heath
Climate change effects human heath due to decreasing quality of fresh
air caused by air pollution.
Disruption of foods supplies due to (lack) sacristy (very less) of water and
food
Rapid growth of urbanization
Rapid growth of urbanization is one of the causes of climate change.
Extinction of many species due to weather conditions
Population migration
E.g. The people from Africa are moving towards to cooler countries as is hard
to survive in such hot temperature.
CO2 concentration is becoming higher on earth. (High population,
deforestation, vehicles all contribute to it)
Rise of sea-level as result of increasing global temperature and melting
polar ice.
Overuse of electricity
Climate change also affects energy demand. EU international agency claims
that there has been increasing trend in cooling demand during summer
season.
Impact of climate change:
1. rising taxes
2. more expensive home insurance
3. higher electric bills and more blackout
4. more allergies and other health risks
5. water quality suffers
6. outdoor work could become unbearable
This new world that we are creating by rising temperature is already causing
a lot of problems, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable on earth.
