How climate change is affecting our environment

It should be remembered that the warm period that followed the last ice age brought with it the destruction of large mammals such as mammoths, woolly rhinos and cave bears.

Scientists at the US Environmental Protection Agency estimate that rising temperatures on Earth will cause the extinction of nearly 30 percent of our flora and fauna.

This will trigger animal migrations.

For example, in the northern hemisphere foxes are becoming more common in the Arctic and even many species of songbirds due to changes in the tundra will have to search for other nesting sites.

Rising temperatures with the accompanying floods and droughts create favorable conditions for mosquitoes, ticks, rats, and other insects and animals that carry serious diseases.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that serious new diseases are possible in different countries in terms of climate, such as West Nile fever in Canada.

It is highly likely that it can be assumed that tropical diseases like malaria will be transmitted by mosquitoes to countries that have NEVER been exposed to this killer.

Global warming through increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will also certainly increase the health risk in the number of people suffering from allergies or asthma.

The widespread disregard for global warming is due in large part to so-called skeptics.

Half of poverty, as indicated by leading scientists, suggests that climate change plays a role.

North Carolina politicians decided, contrary to the scientists’ findings, that the rising water level is in line with the historical trend and will be in the 21st century, 20 cm. However, experts believe that it will exceed 1 m.

However, the undisputed leader is a Texas congressman who assures that the biblical flood is an example of climate change, which did not cause an excessive emission of greenhouse gases.

Globalization processes cover the most remote areas of the planet, bringing great changes to society and the environment. The inappropriate use of natural resources generates undesirable effects such as global warming, greater pressure on the environment, imbalance and the deepening of social inequalities.

Dramatic changes involve, among others, an increase in temperature,

melting of glaciers, rising sea levels, desertification, soil erosion and the disappearance of biodiversity.

The devastation of the environment and the overexploitation of natural resources is a consequence of technological progress and population growth.

The most susceptible to the effects of climate change are the countries of the South, whose economy is strongly based on natural resources, and given the structure of the economy (mostly based on

for agriculture) depends on nature. These countries are due to chronic poverty and lack a basic infrastructure characterized by low adaptability.

This issue has recently drawn the attention of world public opinion, sparking a massive debate on climate change with environmentalists.
