Climate Change Reality
Many studies are being carried out about the climate change issue in the current world as it has significant effects on the world both to wildlife and human activities. These effects are prevalent until they have gained concern to whether they are caused by human made forces or if they come about from natural causes. The following essay is based on the argument that human made activities mainly cause climate change.
Major evidence of climate change is the existence of droughts in areas, which used to receive rainfall. This shows that deforestation level has increased and thus making it difficult for such areas to receive rainfall. Moreover, deforestation makes it difficult for soil to support the growth of vegetation and thus forestation fails to take place, which is evidence that climate has changed (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2015). Therefore, climate change is caused by human activities because humans are the ones who cut down the forests.
Besides, global warming is a major effect of climate change, which causes emission of gases such as carbon monoxide. These gases result in depletion of the ozone layer, which works to reduce the amount of radiation from the sun that reaches the earth’s surface. These gases that are emitted are as a result of human activities about the rising use of greenhouses. Greenhouse came from the advanced technology of planting, and therefore with the increased level of technology, these gases are released to the environment which causes an increased level of global warming and in turn climate change (Schuur, et al., 2015). Moreover, the burning of fossil fuels also emits gases to the atmosphere which raise the level at which global warming takes place and thus climate change.
However, on the other hand, the earth was created in a way that it can balance all these adverse impacts mentioned above which makes it possible that mnatural causes cause climate change. A good example is the increased sea levels as result of the melting ice caps which result from global warming which occurs when there is a reduction in the ability of the earth to reflect back and thus hot climate. Moreover, scientific data has not made any conclusions as most of them are assumptions and therefore some people argue that due to the lack of enough evidence climate changes are simply natural cycles (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2015). They add that climate change is just a way of the earth to balance climate.
Despite the lack of enough evidence to prove the strength of manmade activities to cause climate change, it is a fact that human causes of climate change outweigh natural causes. This shows that human beings should control the activities mentioned above to avoid making the earth an unbearable place due to climate change (Schuur, et al., 2015). A combination of all natural causes of climate change are not enough to cause any effect on the standard living conditions of the earth, and thus they cannot cause an adverse change in the climate.
Research shows that human activities are the primary triggers to changes in climate. This is because most manmade activities play a role in the change of the environment which is the primary cause of climate change. Moreover, this can also be proved using remedies because when activities such as planting forests are practiced, rainfall is experienced in such areas. Therefore, one of the essential solutions to curbing the adverse effects of climate change is educating people on the significance of reducing such activities. Moreover, the public should be educated on other alternatives that do not affect the environment and thus avoid manmade activities which cause climate change. This will ensure that any notable climate change that occurs is as a result of natural occurrences.
