Human Activity And Climate Change

Decent Essays

Climate Change is a change in the weather patterns and a change is called a climate change when it lasts for a decade to millions of years. Climate change is also known as a change in average weather conditions or the change in the weather for a longer term. I believe that human activities are primarily responsible for the climate change. We the human beings are doing lots of things that can affect very badly to our earth. We are producing the greenhouse gases which are creating global warming. Climate change is causing the Arctic ice cap to melt, sea level to rise, acidity level of the ocean to increase, the temperature of the ocean to increase, melting of the Glaciers, weather system to change, more droughts, change in precipitation, and Permafrost to melt.
The human activity which causes climate change is the increase in production of the carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide. This gas absorbs the sunlight which hits the earth and makes the planet warm through the process called the greenhouse effect. Human activity has increased the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels and cement production. Human activity like agriculture and fossil fuel production increase the Methane level in the atmosphere. Human activity like agriculture also increases the level of nitrous oxide. All the greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere which makes the earth warmer. Human activity like burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests for making farms, cities, and roads. All the human activity which produce greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change. The level of carbon dioxide is increasing more because of the industries, vehicle and other human activities. The level of carbon dioxide which is increasing comes from human activity and we know that because of its isotopic ratio. The isotopic ratio also shows that the carbon dioxide is not from the natural process of the volcanic activity, ocean outgassing, etc.
The human activities which produce most of the greenhouse gases are industries, cutting of trees, electricity production, burning of fossil fuel like coal, oil. The vehicles, agricultural activities, residential, commercial are also responsible to produce greenhouse
