1. Global Warming: Why are We Not Taking it Seriously?
Certain human activities have been
causing environmental changes over
the past few decades and these are
not good. The pertinent question has
always been; why are people not
doing enough to reduce the impact
on the environment? The UN report
on the environment says by 2030
global temperatures would have
risen 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5
degrees centigrade) about the
average of the pre-industrial era
temperatures.

2. Global Warming: Why are We Not Taking it Seriously?
Several volumes of research have
been published over the past
decades; that was trying to explain
how and why we could always
miscalculate the risk to the
environment. But many seem to
ignore the problem and are not too
worried about the distant future.

3. Global Warming: Why are We Not Taking it Seriously?
People still believe that a small
change in temperature would not
create drastic effects. Many think
using air conditioners, coolers and
air purifiers can keep them
comfortable. But the truth is that it
would have grave consequences and
the impact is already becoming quite
apparent for the entire ecosystem
and human civilization.

4. What are the Major Causes of Global Warming?
Human influences have been the
number one cause of global
warming. One of the major reasons
is carbon pollution which is caused
by the burning of fossil fuels and the
pollution created by destroying
forests.

5. What are the Major Causes of Global Warming?
Different gasses like carbon dioxide,
methane, soot, and other pollutants
are released into the atmosphere
and act as a blanket that traps the
heat of the sun and is causing the
planet to warm up.

6. What are the Major Causes of Global Warming?
Scientific studies have shown that
every decade since 1960, has been
hotter than the previous one. This
continuous rise in temperatures has
been altering the earth's climate
system, which also includes the
atmosphere, oceans, land, and polar
ice, in multiple ways. Even simple
room thermometers can show the
right temperatures and over the
years, you will realize how every
place is getting warmer each year.

7. Some Major Effects of Global Warming
The effects of global warming are
already being felt around the globe
over the past few years. Some of the
effects are mentioned below in detail:
• Worsening Weather Conditions
• Extinction of Wildlife
• Increasing Death Rates

8. Effects of Global Warming: Worsening Weather Conditions
The high temperatures are amplifying
the different types of disasters that
include heat waves, storms, floods, and
droughts. The warmer weather
conditions collect more water vapor,
retain it, and unleash more water;
hence, changing weather patterns
make the wet areas become wetter
while the dry areas become drier.
There are extreme conditions of flash
flooding that are happening at
alarming rates across the globe.

9. Effects of Global Warming: Worsening Weather Conditions
There are also several cases of
landslides, wildfires, dust storms,
extreme heat events, and drought-like
conditions that the world is currently
experiencing. In some places, heavy
rains are causing overflowing of the
rivers and lakes which is damaging life
and property causing serious diseases
and also leading to crop failure. This
also contaminates the clean drinking
water sources.

10. Effects of Global Warming: Extinction of Wildlife
As the environment undergoes rapid
changes the animals also which inhabit
the same earth are facing serious
problems. Some species are doomed to
disappear and go extinct since they are
unable to adapt quickly and survive
these drastic changes.

11. Effects of Global Warming: Extinction of Wildlife
Lack of food and vegetation due to
forest fires are affecting the poor and
helpless animals and they have
nowhere to go. This has increased the
dwindling of the animals and they
adopt mass migration in search of food.
That also creates other issues and leads
to mass extinctions.

12. Effects of Global Warming: Increasing Death Rates
Several eminent scientists have claimed
that global warming is one of the
biggest health threats of the 21st
century. It can impact people around
the world and especially affect
children, elderly and low-income
communities, and minorities in several
direct and indirect ways. As the
temperature increases the incidence of
new diseases like Covid19 and deaths
have risen.

13. Effects of Global Warming: Increasing Death Rates
The number of heat-related deaths is
also increasing rapidly due to sudden
spikes in temperature even in places
where people are not used to it earlier.

14. Effects of Global Warming: Increasing Death Rates
Health issues like heat exhaustion, heat
stroke, and cardiovascular and kidney
diseases are killing more people than
before, in several countries around the
world. Worsening air pollution has
increased pulmonary diseases in many
people leading to an increase in
deaths.
