Climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity today

Let’s have a look at what is climate change. Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.

Today, I also wanna tell you the tale of two planets Earth and Venus. Earth and Venus are essentially the same size and essentially the same distance from the sun. And both have almost the same amount of carbon. The difference is that in the earth the carbon is trapped in the ground in the form of natural gas whereas on venus it’s trapped in the atmosphere. As a result, the average temperature of the earth is around 50 degrees whereas in Venus it’s around 850 degrees. All I wanna say is Mercury is closer to the Sun but it’s three times cooler than Venus. This is the current scenario of developing nations. They are taking ground-based carbon and ejecting it into the atmosphere.

The accumulated amount of man-made global warming pollution that is up in the atmosphere, in that thin shell is trapping the energy equivalent of 400,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every 24 hours 365 days a year. Just picture that, that is a lot of heat.

2011-2020 was the warmest decade recorded, with global average temperature reaching 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels in 2019. Human-induced global warming is presently increasing at a rate of 0.2°C per decade. An increase of 2°C compared to the temperature in pre-industrial times is associated with serious negative impacts on the natural environment and human health and wellbeing, including a much higher risk that dangerous and possibly catastrophic changes in the global environment will occur.

The direct consequences of man-made climate change include raising maximum and minimum temperatures, rising sea levels, higher ocean temperatures, an increase in heavy precipitation or rainfall, an increase in the proportion of violent tropical cyclones, decline in Arctic sea ice and snow cover, and many more.

Climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity. I know there are a lot of issues out there but the earth is moving in a direction where we cannot survive then all issues out there are going to be irrelevant.

So, first of all I wanna say according to me climate change is definitely a issue. But it’s not like that it is going to end humanity today. I don’t think that climate change is our biggest problem because climate has changed since before man ever existed on the planet and it’s just a continuous process.

The Earth is on track to warm up to two degrees Celsius this century, but winter’s not going to disappear altogether in many parts of the world. Record low temperatures will just become rarer.

We do not know what negative and positive effects climate change will have around the world in the next 100 years. Many climate scientists have exaggerated the potential risks due to global warming. here is no reason to believe that developed societies won’t be able to cope with any climate changes nature may throw at us.

Earth’s climate record shows that warming has preceded, not followed, a rise in CO2. According to a study published in Science, measurements of ice core samples showed that over the last past 240,000 years, periods of natural global warming preceded global increases in CO2. there is some correlation, but little evidence, to support a direct causal relationship between CO2 and global temperature through the millennia.

Arctic ice increased in volume by 50% in 2012 alone. Core measures of the Arctic ice show that it has increased in volume since 2012, which argues against global warming, causing ice caps to melt. Climate Depot reported that the latest figures from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, located at the University of Colorado, show that sea ice extent has increased by 40 percent since 2012 – The Danish Polar Portal, which monitors ice and climate in the Arctic, reported on the 12th of September this year. Few people have even predicted that global warming would cause whole Arctic ice to melt, which contradicts their version.

Early Predictions about the Effects of Warming Have Been Proven Wrong. Al Gore predicted that all Arctic ice would be gone by 2013. But, on the contrary, Arctic ice is up by 50% since 2012.

We have to open our eyes to far worse problems than climate change like poverty, inequality. We should do some things for climate change on an individual level like using electric vehicles, saving electricity, and other kinds of stuff for the environment but seriously it’s not like it’s going to end humanity today.
