Climate change is destroying us

• Our earth has gone through a lot of changes for billions of years, sometimes it was a balloon of hot gases and sometimes it was covered with a sheet of ice for millions of years. Its rise and fall in temperature has always affected plants, animals and human history here. Although during the last 400,000 years, the temperature has been four to eight degrees lower than today, there have been many periods of high temperatures. Came. These changes always affected the rainfall system, changed the nature of vast deserts and created lush green plains.

• The glaciers melted, causing sea levels to rise, floods, and then these seas continued to transform into flat plains. These changes that took place in prehistoric times decided where forests and edible plants could grow and where shepherds could find green fields. Plants, animals and human populations of each era kept adapting to new environments. Keep migrating and dying. Finally, 160,000 years ago, a big event happened and the human being, persecuted by nature, decided to leave Africa somewhere. Human populations left Africa and began to spread around the world. migrated to the eastern regions of the Nile and the Mediterranean Sea, then thousands of years later a group of them left Africa and migrated to the Arabian Peninsula via Bab al-Mandab. It is said that all the people on the planet today belong to this group. From here they crossed the Strait of Hormuz and entered Asia. A few thousand years later, a group of them didn't like the place either and packed up for the regions of Southeast Asia and China. Generation after generation, this arduous journey continued and humans traveled through Australia and New Guinea to Southwest Asia, Liberia. And eventually reached America. The main reason for this difficult journey of man spanning tens of thousands of years was the various environmental changes on this planet and this environmental change has become a special topic once again in the last few years. Major universities around the world are conducting research on climate change and global warming, holding conferences and seminars, and signing agreements to protect the planet from the devastating effects of severe climate change.

• Environmental scientists agree that global temperatures are expected to increase by 5.2 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century, causing extreme climate change. According to scientists, climate change has been a feature of this planet and numerous changes have taken place since its birth, but its pace has been very slow. The growth has accelerated to about 30% which is a major cause of climate change.

• In October last year, the World Environment Organization (IPCC) released a report that called for limiting global warming to 5.1 degrees Celsius. The report said that for this purpose, governments should reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. It will have to be reduced by 45%. However, according to a recent study, after the decrease in carbon dioxide in the last four years, it has started to increase again. At a conference on climate change in Poland in December, experts warned that the Earth had reached a "critical juncture." They said any delay in taking preventive measures would be disastrous. What this damage might be, can be gauged from the report, which states that climate change is increasing the threat to glaciers in the Himalayan and Hindu Kush mountain ranges. If the current pace of carbon dioxide emissions is not controlled, two-thirds of these glaciers may disappear, experts say, and the mountains of K-Too and Mount Everest will turn into bare rock in less than a century. Pollution and rising temperatures can accelerate snowmelt. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, India, Bhutan, China, Myanmar and Nepal will be directly affected by these changes. It should be noted that the glaciers of the Himalayas and Hindu Kush provide water to the world's most important rivers, the Indus, Ganges, Yellow, Mekong and Irrawaddy, and are also a source of food, energy, clean air and income for billions of people in this region. Another scientific study has revealed that 40% of the insects on the planet are at risk of extinction due to climate change. Remember that insects are of key importance to human life and they contribute to 75% of fertilization, they make the soil fertile and keep the number of harmful insects under control. These are just two devastating examples of climate change, the whole earth is currently under the influence of climate change, and news of natural disasters related to it continues to emerge every day.
