Greetings my reader friends, this time I would like to share with you a research work that I carried out in 2018 regarding climate change in the world and how we adapt. In favor of creating an education and an ecological conscience that allows today's society to remove the blindfold of indifference to this serious situation.
While it is true that climate change has had a direct impact on the world, generating erratic and unconventional weather patterns such as high temperatures, changes in natural resources, alteration and reduction of rain regimes, longer periods of droughts, more pests. , diseases and decreased harvests, thus threatening agricultural production and generating poor quality in crops; It is agriculture that, through the hand of man, has contributed in recent decades as a determining factor for the generation of the same climate change, and it is man who is responsible for generating this environmental imbalance, the tendency to logging and Deforestation, the use of fertilizers and agricultural machinery, the exploitation of hydrocarbons, the burning of the soil, the use of fuels and toxic gases accelerate climate change in a progressive way and therefore the crop has been harmed.
Marqués de Leganés (2008), article taken from the magazine, ecologist in action;
Due to inappropriate practices such as industrial agriculture and deforestation, the soil behaves as an emitter of greenhouse gases. Ecological and sustainable agriculture is necessary, which questions current forms of production and consumption and protects soil fertility as a way to reduce climate change and ensure food for the future (p.6)
The world has been evolving and to the same extent the population has been growing rapidly, man is consuming more and for this reason it has been necessary to implement large production measures, conventional and industrialized agriculture have collaborated so that the exploitation soil is increasing, and this has led to great changes in the climate due to the emission of greenhouse gases, which is highly polluting for the earth's atmosphere; Plants through the process of photosynthesis absorb large amounts of CO2 that is present in the atmosphere, and transform it into C which is stored directly in the earth, providing the necessary nutrients to the earth, important to generate healthy soils and fertile plants in which they can be cultivated and harvested.
Report of the United Nations Organization (2013), known by its acronym (UN), indicates
Greenhouse gases (GHG) are produced naturally and are essential for the survival of humans and millions of other living beings since, by preventing part of the sun's heat from spreading into space, it makes the earth habitable. A century and a half of industrialization, together with the felling of trees and the use of certain farming methods, have increased the amounts of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere. As populations, economies and the standard of living grow, so does the accumulated level of emissions of these gases.
The world is being threatened, humanity in its eagerness to develop drastic measures on a large scale to produce quantities of food necessary for the consumption of the growing population, has been forgetting about care and respect for the environment, its home is It is being threatened by the pollution that has been generated as a result of deforestation and by the use of chemical agents such as fertilizers, aerosols and inorganic fertilizers. That in the process of generating a possible solution to the food problem, it has generated the emission of greenhouse gases in large quantities and these have contributed to the variation of climate change and the infertility of soils. But what are greenhouse gases (GHG)?
Certain gases occur naturally in the Earth's atmosphere and are necessary for life itself on the planet, some of these gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), water vapor (H2O), chlorofluorocarbonates ( CFC), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) among others. These are gases that absorb up to 90% of the energy that we perceive from the sun, part of that energy is released into space and the other part radiates back to the earth's surface in the form of heat or infrared waves, which allows it to remain An ideal temperature of about 15 ° C necessary to maintain life, they are known as natural greenhouse gases, and without them life would not be possible on the planet.
