What are the potential effects of global warming in terms of climate change and how can they be arrested?

Concentrations of carbon dioxide have increased drastically for the past few years. Now, it has been more than 300ppm which is far off compared to from decades ago and it keeps increasing. Usually concentration of CO₂ was only about 250ppm but now it has changed. This changed have help the temperature to increase up to 0.9 ^oC. With the rising of temperature, it has changed the geography of the world. We can see with our naked eyes, Italian alps, Switzerland alps, Argentina alps, all of these alps have changed. There’s no more snow mount there. At the Colombia national glacier park, the glacier retreats year by year and there’s more avalanche which make things worst. 75 years ago in Patagonia, the tip of South America, there was a vast of ice on top of it. But now, it’s already gone. This isn’t a coincidence but it happens everywhere in the world. Within a decade, there will be no snow mount in Mount Kilimanjaro.

For the record, the ten hottest years was recorded in the last 14 years. The hottest year was on 2005, these high temperatures send enormous heat waves which can cause death. In 2003 heat wave, it has killed more than 35000 people across Europe. In the same year, India’s temperature also reached 50^oC which is also hit new record. West America also faced the same situation as there were more number of consecutive days with more than 1000^oC. An overall, all major city faces the same thing. The increasing of temperature also affected the ocean. As the temperature of the ocean increased beyond the natural range, stronger storms likely to occur. Hurricanes, typhoon and tornados, all of them set new records in the early 2000. Things can’t be taken for granted as the scientists have once said that there will be no hurricane in the southern America but in 2005, it hits Brazil. The worst ever hurricane was Katrina. This has been explained scientifically. The oceans temperature increased, the velocity of wind will increase. The moisture content will also increase and it gained greater energy when it hits the land.

With the climate changes, the rain pattern also changes and causes more storms. Besides, it also relocates the precipitation. In 2005, in just 24 hours, the rain in Mumbai falls about 37inches and the water level reached seven feet. China also was hit by heavy rains. However there is also places that faced draught. Dafur and Niger were among those places that faces the worst situation of draught. These places are also known as Sahara desert. Due to the high temperature, soil evaporation exaggeratedly and makes the draught even worse. Lake Chad which is near sahara desert became dried after a few decades as the lake being evaporated.No living things can survive in this place and this has consequence all over the world.

without any actions taken by now, things can get worsen. We are capable of getting used to the evolution of climate as it changes slowly. Some of us might not realise it. Sooner or later, it will be too late for us to take actions. To avoid such catastrophic, we as the residence of the world should overcome the damage that we’ve done. By doing simple things such as recycling unusable product, switching to a renewable source of energy and plant more trees. If everyone does this, it will gives greater impact. If possible, we should buy hybrid cars as it is environmental friendly and sell cars at higher mileage. Besides, using appliances that are electrical efficient can help to arrest the effect on global warming.
