Is it possible to prevent climate disaster?
★★★ Difficult, but possible, if a few conditions are met. The first is to reduce carbon emissions. That's the problem. The industrialized countries are constantly increasing production for economic development. Recently, the growth of emerging economies like China, India, Brazil etc. is also increasing at a fast rate. The use of fossil fuels like oil-gas-coal for development is increasing.Burning them increases the amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As a result, the earth's temperature is rising. Now if carbon emissions are to be reduced, then the growth rate of developed countries must be reduced. Whether it is America, Europe or China, India does not want to accept it easily. Who wants to be poor? So what is the way to reduce global warming without reducing production? One way is to protect forests and do more afforestation.
It is also difficult, because the forest needs a lot of land. There will not be much land for forest under the pressure of growing population. So efforts are being made to find a technology that will produce more using less fuel. On the other hand, to increase the production and use of solar power, wind power, water power etc. Not only this, with the help of special pipes we can get heat out of the ground and use it to keep the interior of the house warm in winter country.
This will reduce the rate of burning fuel. Another striking way is to reduce the waste rate of industrialized countries.
★★★ According to a survey, all Americans consume 150 trillion (1.5 trillion) kilocalories of food a year. In other words, about 40 percent of the food that comes to the store for them every year is wasted for various reasons. This amount of wasted food burns about 300 million barrels of fuel oil.
In addition, discarded food produces methane gas, which is more harmful to greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. In 1984, the rate of food wastage in the United States was 64 percent. That is, such waste is increasing day by day.
★★★ If developed countries reduce food arbitrariness, it is possible to reduce a lot of carbon. But keep in mind, even with so many things, maybe not everything can be handled. This is because the rate of carbon emissions needs to be reduced so that the temperature of the atmosphere does not rise by more than two degrees Celsius in the next 50 years.
If the current trend continues, the temperature will rise by four degrees Celsius, which could endanger human life. Therefore, big steps should be taken to prevent disasters, not small ones. If everyone decides and implements it properly, it may be possible to reduce carbon emissions.
The effects of climate change :
Agriculture is most affected by climate change. Countries with agrarian economies are being adversely affected. Over the last century, carbon dioxide has increased by 23%, nitrous oxide by 19%, and methane by 100% (Och: Fourth Report 2006). In order to survive, people have to struggle with various adversities. The biggest adversity or threat of the present time is climate change.
Climate change is a regular natural phenomenon. But greatly influenced by human actions. Various human activities have accelerated climate change. The world is warming and developing countries like Bangladesh are changing the type of weather and the seasons. Och: According to the survey report- The average annual temperature in Bangladesh in the last 14 years (1985-1998) in May was 1C. And 0.5 s in November. Increased.Climate change in Bangladesh has already begun. According to a research report published in the year 2000, the coast of Cox's Bazar is 7.8 mm per year. Sea level rise has been observed at a rate. In the last four decades, about three thousand square kilometers of Bhola Island has been submerged in sea water. Reviewing various research reports, it can be seen that by 2100, the sea level is 1 m. May be high, which may submerge 16.3 percent of the total area of Bangladesh.
In order to adapt to these adverse climatic conditions, various adaptation techniques need to be adopted, especially to keep agriculture free from the harmful effects of climate change or to reduce the risk. In addition, disaster damage can be compensated by increasing crop diversification and crop density during disaster-free times. Causes of climate change
Natural causes
A. Continental drift
b. Volcanic eruption
c. Change the speed of the earth
d. Ocean currents
e. Cyclone Man-made causes
f. Increase in the amount of carbon dioxide / carbon emissions
g. Use of mineral fuels
h. Increase in nitrous oxide in air
i. Destroy the hill
j. Wilderness desolation
Natural causes of climate change:
There are many natural causes of climate change. The other major ones are continental drift, volcanic eruptions, ocean currents and the Earth's tilt.
Continental drift :
The continent was gradually formed when the earth's surface began to leave little by little. The continent was born millions of years ago in this process. This shifting or abandonment of the soil has changed the position of the earth's land bodies and changed the ocean currents and air currents. These changes affect the climate. This continental migration continues to this day.
Volcanoes:
When erupting from a volcano, large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas, water vapor, dust, ash are released into the atmosphere. Although volcanic eruptions only last for a few days, large amounts of gas and ash have long been associated with adverse effects on nature and climate change. Gas and dust interfere with normal sunlight coming to the surface, making the climate much colder.
Earth's tilt:
The Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.50 with the vertical plane of its orbit. Changing the tilt of the earth has a big impact on the climate. The climate is extreme. Leaning too much means that the summer season gets hotter and the winter season gets colder. Low tilt means less heat in summer and less cold in winter.
