Climate Change: An Impact a world over
In this age of round the clock news
updates and digital media at the hands of every interested or uninterested
consumer of information, any event occurring in any part of the globe has a far
reaching audience.
Hence the events of atmospheric or
climatic nature, over the past century and current are known to the population
of each and every country. And hence we, directly or indirectly witness, what
the wrath of a Tornado, Hurricanes or storms or incessant rainfalls in part of
the world causing massive flooding, brings to us. These events have a far
reaching impacts, and affects us in many ways, as in, impacts our daily
mobility, causes a great loss of property, infrastructure and lives.
Over a length of time, scientists, environmentalists
and knowledge experts in the area of climate, atmospheric behavior patterns, and
environments have often attributed these intense atmospheric events to a
changing pattern of our climate. Our climate, i.e., changing patterns of air,
climate on planet Earth, often referenced with the term 'Global Warming'.
Modernization, the globe over has
certainly advanced human abilities to an unimaginable length, however many may
argue, there is a downside, which is what we are witnessing as a global
warming. Deforestation, divergence of rivers and tributaries, forest fires,
over-fishing, invasion of plastic all over the world, not just land but oceans
(e.g., Great Pacific Garbage), loss of habitation of wild life, plants and
animals species, including aquatic life, going extinct are some of the very
serious reasons why Global Warming, and thereby causing Climate Change,
presents a great risk to all of us alike.
Our awareness, our collective
responsibility and action on the ground will still be a great effort to reverse
the impacts of Climate Change on our planet to some extent and our planet will
do the rest. As many say the world over, there is not much time and we only
have to rise from our slumber and assume responsibility to put every effort to
keep our planet Earth safe, clean and pristine, not just for us but for all our
future generations to come.
