Y'all should not miss this;!Potential consequences of Climate change!
Humanity faces new threats,but none is greater than climate change! The average earth's temperature has increased by 0.6 degrees celsius and is projected to increase further in the future. The results of the temperature rise is the global warming Phenomena. Key factors contributing to the temperatures rise and subsequently global warming include mainly anthropogenic activities that result in increasing green house gas emissions.
Should this be a concern?? Think about it; As the world warms, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense. High impact events like heatwaves, prolonged droughts, tropical cyclones ,floods and wild fires are here with us affecting all continents..
That's not all since as the world warms ,
• ice sheets and glaciers continue to melt
• arctic sea ice is tracking
• global sea level rise has been recorded
• ocean heats and marine heat waves which are harming marine ecosystem are being experienced
Locally, Kenya and some countries in East Africa are already feeling the effects of climate change in deep; The widespread recurrent droughts ,floods , inequitable land distribution, overdependence on rain fed agriculture and few coping mechanisms all have combined to increase people's vulnerability to climate change..
However ,all is not lost as we all know that while the rapid rate of climate change is caused by humans,humans are also the ones who can convert it; How? If we work to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy like the solar and wind, protect the forests, we maybe able to prevent some of the worst effects of climate change as these could reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases trapping heat on the planet!
There's NO planet B
