Everyone is feeling that this time the weather is heating up very fast. The summer season is starting to show its effect. Have you ever wondered why this change in weather patterns? Had not thought, so now is the time to think. Before it is too late, we will have to face the fact that due to our irregularities and carelessness, the temperature of the earth is increasing, which is having a direct effect on the seasons. Just blaming the weather for this will not work, we have to look at the facts.
Summer, summer
Hot summer
Why you have come
Early at my door
I am not ready
To face you yet
So, don't create trouble more.
Summer said on this
By cutting trees
By drying to rivers and ponds
You disturbed to weather's bees
So, face the stings
And don't blame me.
This is my latest poem. It was created when I stepped out of the house this afternoon and the scorching sun made me feel like May in March. Everyone I met was saying that this time summer has come early. If this is the case now, what will happen next?
What will happen next? Really, it is a burning question. In fact, for this, the effect of climate change on the weather has to be seen. Scientists have predicted that would result from global climate change now occurring as loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves. Actually rising global average temperature is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns. Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change. Long-term changes in climate can directly or indirectly affect many aspects of society in potentially disruptive ways. For example, warmer average temperatures could increase weather problems. More extreme variations in weather are also a threat to living beings.
As the Earth warms overall, average temperatures increase throughout the year, but the increases may be larger in certain seasons than in others. India's average temperature has risen by around 0.7 degrees Celsius during 1901-2018, said the Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region, a report by India's Ministry of Earth Sciences. Such a rise in temperatures will have dire consequences for we Indians. Unless emissions are cut sharply to curb global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial times, large parts of the tropics will see increasing episodes of high heat and high humidity that go beyond the limits of human survival, according to new research. Prolonged exposure to such conditions could prove fatal even to healthy people, the researchers said in the study. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said in its report that the Earth's average surface temperature will increase by 1.5 °C by 2030. This increase will go a decade earlier than forecast. The effects of high heat and humidity are worse for women, children and the elderly, scientists have found. Working outdoors, which is a must for the majority of poor people in India engaged in farming and construction, is likely to worsen the effects of extreme heat.
If necessary steps are not taken to stop climate change, then by 2050, the Indian economy may suffer a loss of up to 35.1 percent of GDP. This information came out in the report released by the Swiss Ray Institute that due to changing weather patterns, there can be a lot of damage in India too. The Swiss Ray Institute analyzed 48 countries around the world, in which it clarified the pressure of climate change on the economies of these countries.
These 48 countries including India represent 90 percent of the world's economy. Based on this analysis, Swiss Re also ranked these countries. India was placed at 45th place among these countries. According to which it has been included in the category of countries most affected by climate change. Excessive rain, early summer, these are the consequences of climate change.
Today, increasing human activities and fulfillment of needs, indiscriminate use of natural resources are the root cause of these problems. It is necessary to use them in a proper and balanced quantity. Otherwise, the accident that will happen in future cannot be avoided. As we know, the climate stability of a place provides stability by encouraging agriculture, income, employment, water life, society and culture there. Therefore, as a responsible citizen, we all have to play our part in keeping the environmental ecosystem clean and sustainable as well as spreading environmental awareness to the masses.
It is true that India is making every effort to reduce its emissions. It has promoted renewable energy and made policies regarding electric vehicles to reduce dependence on coal. But it is also true that we are not fully prepared to deal with the threats coming from climate change. Today our agriculture is largely dependent on rain water. We have not made serious efforts for rainwater harvesting, which results in summer drought and severe water crisis every year. We also have to be prepared to deal with these risks. For this we have to be conscious of water and tree conservation. We have to be aware of balanced exploitation of natural substances. It has to be remembered that our life and life of our earth are in our hands. As we sow, so shall we reap. If we care about the environment, then the environment will also care about us. Nature-friendly habits are also essential for a good season.
