Climate Changes

          Climate change is happening now. Evidences being seen support the fact that the change cannot simply be explained by natural variation. The most recent scientific assessment have confirmed that the warming of the climate system since the mid-20th century is most likely to be due to human activities; and thus; is due to the observed increase in greenhouse gas concentrations from human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and land use change. Current warming has increasingly posed quite considerable challenges to man and the environment, and will continue to do so in the future. Presently, some autonomous adaptations are taking place, but we need to consider a more active adaptation planning in order to ensure sustainable development.
          Hot days and hot nights have become more frequent. Extreme weather events have also occurred more frequently. These include deadly and damaging typhoons, floods, landslides, and severe El Nino’s and La Nina’s, drought, and forest fires. Adversely affected sectors include agriculture, fresh water, coastal and marine sources and health…
          So what should we do to prevent it to be worse? We must lessen the burning of plastics because it causes too much greenhouse gases; we must also lessen the use of cars, which gives deadly smokes; we should also plant more and more trees because they inhale carbon gases in the atmosphere…
