How Can We Beat Climate Change

How Can We Beat Climate Change

You can’t just turn a blind eye anymore. Climate change is happening now and no longer just a figment of our imagination. Our planet has endured enough and it is now showing drastic signs of our abuse and misuse of Earth’s resources. It even came sooner than expected and we only have ourselves to blame. Just look around you and you can see the answer. Technology is one of the major factors why all these things are happening. All the tech gadgets we are using uses up lots of fuel, something we may have not but may run out sooner. Remember that widely used energy today comes from non-renewable sources like fossil fuel. They aren’t just expensive but they may eventually run out in the coming years. What’s worse is that the combustion coming from the burning of these energy sources contribute to global warming, thereby leaving the planet hotter than ever as hot air is trapped in the planet’s atmosphere and consequently melts glaciers making the sea level rise.…

The Threat Of A Warming Planet

The Threat Of A Warming Planet

We live on a continually warming planet. Heat is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere and it’s not just our imagination. We can feel it happening all around us and it arrived earlier than scientists previously anticipated. All over the world, scientists continue to document climate-related changes that are fuelled by global warming and it is messing up our lives on a daily basis. Although we don’t always see it, major changes are happening all over the globe and they are more prominent in the face of natural disasters.

As if having to endure extreme weather changes isn’t enough to shaken things up, the cryosphere (frozen water or the ice found in water) is also melting that causes the sea level to rise and submerge small islands that can’t keep the rising water out. Aside from it rising, seawater also became more acidic that is detrimental to all sea life especially the ones with shell on it. And we mentioned about weather systems acting up, right? Year after year, natural …

The UK Experiences Climate Change Along With The Rest Of The World

The world is changing and the climate is worsening. It is pretty obvious by now as we witness and experience first-hand the worsening of natural calamities and disasters that not only destroys properties but also take lives. It seems like we can’t just ignore global warming and climate change any longer. If you look at the state of the environment right now, you’d likely heave a deep sigh and wonder what awaits the future generation. We can’t leave behind a legacy of pollution, depleting resources, and a planet that is increasingly becoming inhospitable to all living things.

You are not safe wherever you are in the world. Whether you live in big cities like London or far-away rural areas, there are dangers lurking around the corner. A few scattered rain showers can trigger landslides in high-risk areas, hurricanes can lead to storm surges and heavy flooding, and earthquakes can cause tsunamis. Just look at Antarctica. A big chunk of a glacier, bigger than the entire US, has completely separated from …
