Why climate change after few years, is it natural or man made

 



After every few years, weather and climate changes are being observed. The recent turmoil has never been felt. The world is changing due to Gusts of winds, strong ocean currents, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the rise in sea levels. It is to be seen if it is a natural phenomenon or triggered by man's actions. Some people argue that the changes are man-made while others believe that they are natural.

 In recent years global warming is caused by the global increase in temperature. The real issue is whether climate change is man-made or other factors. Climate change and global warming are affected by a lot of factors. Importantly is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which absorbs heat from the sun at a higher rate than other gases thus form an envelope covering the thermosphere. Scientists attribute the changes in climate to man's actions because activities are done by man lead to the emission of greenhouse gases to the environment. With the ushering of an era of industrial upheaval, the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have doubled.

 The Source of greenhouse gases is led by the combustion of fossil fuels. In the year 2012, about 38% of CO2 produced was as a result of the generation of electricity while 32% of the gas was produced by the automobile industry. The buildings and other industries contribute to the remaining percentage. when trees are cut without replacement, deforestation occurs which causes another source of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide increases when trees are cut to get pastures and burnt. The spiral effect of increasing greenhouse gases in the air increases the global temperatures which ultimately causes melt ice in the Polar Regions.

The global temperature increase by 10 c as the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases double, this has been found out in recent studies.

The environment in its own ways regulates temperature and climate without affecting adversely. Its man's action of combustion of fossil fuels that cause the global temperature change. 

Man's actions on earth have led to changes in weather and climatic patterns. We must devise environmental mitigation policies like reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change. Using renewable sources of energy and replenishing forests are sure ways of conserving the environment and mitigating the climate change
