The equation is that the more people on the planet, the more the climate suffers. There are several factors, but the most serious are deforestation (because there is extreme demand for arable land), melting glaciers, and rising global temperatures due to greenhouse gases produced by humans, so we could go on indefinitely. By 2100, the temperature is expected to rise by as much as 2.6 to 4.8 degrees Celsius if we continue the current trend! And this figure is alarming.
Is climate change irreversible?
Our generation is already experiencing climate change, and our grandchildren will already live in a world where it will be so hot that some of the places on Earth today will no longer be habitable. And some, on the other hand, disappear below sea level. This is not fiction, but a prediction by scientists if we do not act immediately.
Greenhouse gases and human emissions are among the biggest enemies of the climate. Most carbon dioxide and methane. These are not just emissions from motor vehicles, but also from planes, motor boats, scooters, in short, everything powered by petrol or diesel. However, it is not so straightforward.
We contribute a little to climate change, even if we do not drive a motor vehicle. Even the daily use of spray deodorants, and meat consumption contributes to increasing emissions and enlarging the ozone hole.
So yes, the answer to the question is – climate change is irreversible if we do not all do something TODAY.
The most serious consequences of climate change are raising global temperatures, melting glaciers and consequent sea and ocean levels, human migration and the resulting economic problems, forest fires, weather changes and tornadoes, tsunamis, and so on.
