140 scientists from various countries all around the globe have concluded that it is human activities that are to be blamed for the accelerated climate change. the reason- the demand for more energy, due to the rise in population futher leading to the CO2 and GHG emmisions immensely.
We are all enveloped by air i.e. O2 CO2 etc.CO2 traps the sun's heat or energy and prevent then from escaping. more C02 is produced by the various activities practiced by us. therefore leading to the absorbment of more heat. thus warming up the earth's atmosphere causing global warming and change in climate.
CO2 behaves as a catalyst in heating the earth surface which has caused retreat of glacier, erratic rainfall, floods and droughts.now the faster meltdown of the antarctic ice is a global issue to be concerned about, risking the foodchain in peril.
With years passing by more and more no of species are noted down under the list of endangered species. as they are not being able to meet up their needed atmosphere and requirement due to the climate change.which might might lead to habitat destruction.
However all this isnt something that is inevitable. if all the nations resolute to control and reduce these malignent emissions, we cannot halt the present phenomenons but yes we can prevent futher damage.
