Extreme Weather Events Impacting The Earth
In many countries of Europe, life has been disturbed by the heat, while many cities of India are submerged due to the smoky rain in a few hours. All this is the result of extreme weather events, which are taking the whole world in its clutches. By now probably everyone can see it through their own eyes. The irregularities happening in the world are related to weather.
While the incidents of heat waves and drought are breaking records year after year, the incidents of extreme rainfall and storms have also started scaring the world. The climate change that was being discussed for years, and its effects are now visible.
Still now if people can't see the extreme weather events then let me give some examples to you.
Record Breaking Heat In This Summer
In many countries this year, summer was felt too hot for the first time like in Taiwan, Hongkong, London, etc it broke records and the temp was higher than 40°C in July months which isn't normal for those regions.
And in the Eastern Mediterranean region, it reached more than 50°C which is too much and due to that even birds are dying there. One of my friends from there shared about his weather condition a few days ago.
The Raining Cycle In India Is Changed
Extreme rainfall in India has broken many records in 2022. Assam and Meghalaya have recorded the highest rainfall so far this year, my state Jharkhand has 40% less rainfall than the previous year which is very less to do with the farming of crops. Although there was no significant difference in the amount of rainfall from the annual point of view, but the rainfall pattern is changing on a large scale. The change in the pattern means that earlier it used to rain for more days, now it rains for a few hours. Also, the frequency of incidents like landslides, heavy rain, hailstorms, and cloudbursts in India has increased. And due to this uneven rainfall, some places are experiencing floods and drought.
Previous Six Months, The Casualties Of Weather Disasters Is Increased
The prime example is the Philippines which has been struck by 2-3 big typhoons and storms in the recent 6 months. Lots of huge forests caught fire and burnt like nothing taking away innocent animals with them.
The changing weather events aren't normal and are a sign of a bad omen. Apart from life and property these weather events are now affecting crops also. In intense heat and irregular water supply, as most of the farmers depend on rainfall, the crops aren't surviving. India had a Lemon crisis for a month in which it was sold 5-10X from its original price for a few months.
Reason
Global warming is the major reason for this. Every year there is increase in temperature due to cutting of trees and half assed projects producing and releasing a lot of carbon in Earth's atmosphere. The environmentalists and nature experts are shouting from years ago about the melting of glaciers and Antartica region. And if that happens most of world will be submerged in water. Sure we can take this as a kid's threat and later be a part of new Atlantis, only problem is we will be dead deep down in the water.

Final Thoughts
This feels like the events happening in movies where life on Earth slowly gets destroyed by the weather changes and natural calamities. And we shouldn't brush this issue off. The signs of imbalance in Earth's atmosphere can be seen through our eyes. It's time to stop our half-ass Green Movement and stop projects killing nature.
Nature is harmed don't ignore the harm our human activities are giving it on. The healers of nature were the Trees and Forests but now they are dying in one go like nothing both by the nature and by the humans.

Humans are largely responsible for this major change in climate. These extreme heat and untimely rains and natural calamities are caused by humans. Since human hands are behind it, humans must pay the ultimate price for it.
