I would like to highlight the causes and reasons which stand responsible for rising in temperature due to global warming and climate change across the globe are being discussed. As per the reports of the previous year rise in temperature could also be experienced during this year due to global warming and occurring climate change throughout the world.
Overview of natural phenomena-Nature always maintains its ecosystem balancing all its environmental aspects such as natural flow of its rivers,green covers of forests, flora and fauna, mountains, plains, valleys, variety of wing world including numberless blue world; all these contributing towards maintenance of eco-system while as the finest creation of so-called mankind, also considers to be the wisest one among all the creations, has been making greater disturbances to the eco-system of nature at the cost of developments be it is the construction of bigger longer 8-lane roads, highways, daming river waters for the production and generation of hydro-electricity, construction of longer tunnels tearing out the chest of the mountains to be shortening the distances of the journeys for their own more facilities than to be caring for its ill-effects disturbing the existence and stability of the beautiful mountains that is to say which so ever stands established totally good by the Almighty God. Also beyond the power of mankind’s thinking and should never try to challenge the unbound power of nature which can destroy the whole universe within seconds as recently been observed its furious nature of nature in Turkey and Syria’s 7.8 degree Richter scale earthquake which claimed many precious human lives and defunct many people with grievous injuries getting handicapped; also many multi-storied buildings dashed to the ground and pell-mell the entire man-made infrastructure on large scale is the glaring example of fury of nature.
Now, let me factorise its causes and reasons one by one. First and foremost cause of global warming and occurring climate change is the large scale deforestation/elimination of big trees across the globe in the name of development.1/3rd of the total land of the planet must be covered with lush green thick forests besides being disturbed its wildlife which is a part and parcel to be balancing the ecosystem of nature’s environment. Therefore, afforestation campaign to be undertaken by each and every country as a component of agriculture needs to be encouraged so as to provide greenery for safety of all the living beings or else rise in temperature could be experienced in due to global warming and occurring of climate change in absence of the requisite forest cover all over the globe. Moreover, Forests are also referred to green gold affect almost every aspect of life and are very important for the environment, ecological and economic balance of any country. Forests are useful for human livelihood, soil and water conservation, bio-diversity, greenhouse gases and flood control.
Yet another factor responsible for causing global warming and occurring of climate change are greenhouse gases that develop rise in temperature. What are greenhouse gases? And How greenhouse gases develop and put its ill-effects? A gas that stops heat from escaping from the atmosphere and causes greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse effect-the process in which heat is enable to escape from the atmosphere and causes the temperature of the earth to rise. Hence the rise in temperature is called global warming. All human beings exhale carbon dioxide and the trees of the forests get carbon dioxide as its food. This is a natural phenomena. In absence of forest cover the greenhouse gas is not supposed to be eaten up by the trees; directly goes into the atmosphere causing rise in temperature. It would continue to be, if not abundance of planting trees on large scale is done all over the globe.
Thirdly, every kind of pollution be it air pollution, water pollution, chemical fertilizer pollution, plastic pollution, vehicle pollution and industrial pollution has given rise to global warming and occurring climate change resulting into very much rise in temperature. By whom all these types of pollutions are being caused? It is the human beings none else. The scientists, environmentalists, and policy planners around the world are awfully worried about presently prevailing scenario. If the same situation continues to be there would be every apprehensions of further environmental degradation tantamount to cataclysm (Jal-Pralaya). In case strict measures could not be adopted by the pollution controlling agencies to control such dangerous pollutions, the ecological balance could be more disturbed resulting into rise in temperature responsible for melting the glaciers due to global warming as well as climate change will definitely bringing about unseasonal rainfall, hailstorms, Tsunami’s causing greater devastation and loss of crops on large scale which would be great challenge to feed thick populated country like India. In some moderate areas there would be suddenly abnormal rise in temperature above 48-50 with intolerable heat wave whereas in warmer areas the temperature would fall in low ebb (decrease).The most vulnerable would be poor people who don’t have the provision of the arrangements of ACs to save themselves from the intolerable heat-wave which could be above 50 degrees Celsius.
Fourthly, the most dangerous and the greatest cause to make the globe warmer and brings about unprecedented climatic change is due to the plastic pollution with pollutants of polythene bags being used excessively causing blockade the normal/natural flow of lanes and drains ultimately goes into rivers polluting them worse as the rivers are the agents of nature which play constructive contribution towards balancing the environment. Moreover hard plastic wares which get buried into the soil of the agricultural land for years together never get destroyed because of its harmful non-biodegradability are responsible for spoiling the fertility of the land to be able to grow and produce more crops. Even local ponds, canals, lakes are also not being spared polluting by humans. It poses a great threat to the life of blue world which is also a part and parcel balancing the eco-system of environment. Its usage to be strictly banned so as to save the life of blue world which plays positive role towards maintaining the environment balance to save humanity (human race).
Fifth, excessive usage of chemical fertilizers by our illiterate farmer community into their agricultural fields is also the greatest cause to make the globe warmer and climate change making the agricultural land to be polluted rather non-fertile due to rise in temperature abnormally in moderate areas whereas very low in more warm areas all over the world. Four five months ago, some areas of England and the United States Of America experienced rise in temperature being colder region of the world is also a sign of glaring example of global warming and climate change. The farmer community is urged upon/ impressed upon to please refrain from using chemical fertilizers excessively in their agricultural fields. Rather organic manure be put so as to avoid pollution causing their lands barren and infertile due to the usage of chemical fertilizers. Since there are no side effects with the use of organic manure; whereas there are lots of side-effects with grains to be taken by human beings produced grown with the help of chemical fertilizer. The many people are suffering from incurable diseases such as the cancer, diabetes becoming bald, poor eyesight wearing with numbered glasses, hard of hearing, becoming hair grey before old-age, having depression and psychic, obesity, thyroid, even amongst youngsters loss of memory and falling of teeth before old-age and so on and so-forth.
Sixth, the last but not the least the most dangerous pollution being caused with unavoidable vehicular traffic be it pollution of emission of poisonous gases by trains, by airplanes, by ships, or by vehicular traffic on 8-lane roads and highways have been making the globe warmer with climate change for the last of over fifty years and all these poisonous gases are going to be getting mixed with fresh air of the atmosphere through which we the humans breathe this polluted air resulting into giving us alarming warning of breaking out another pandemic which could be and would be uncontrollable one due to be caused by the abnormal rise in temperature with unprecedented heat wave in the years to come. It is suggested that to minimise this vehicular pollution modern e-vehicular traffic be developed with technological techniques so that abnormal rise in temperature due to global warming and climatic change could be controlled to some extent.
