DESTRUCTION OF THE SCENIC MARVEL OF THE EARTH
"There are in nature neither rewards not punishments- there are consequences. Nature is but a name for an effect whose cause is God.
Weather is blue skies
and puffy white clouds, torrential rains with gale force wind twisters;
flashes of lightning; or snow gently falling to the ground. The weather is the
state of the atmosphere at any given time, it is experienced everywhere on earth,
it varies considerably from place to place, day to day, and season to
season. The long term look at the weather in a place or region, the averaging
of rainfall, the maximum and minimum temperatures is called climate.
Climate in addition to the "averages" in the weather also includes and frequencies of “extremes"
in the weather. But the said climate is turned wild that is now Climate
Change. Climate Change has long-since ceased to be a scientific curiosity, and
is no longer just one of many environmental and regulatory concerns. It is a
growing crisis with economic, health and safety, food production, security, and
other dimensions. Climate change can be affected by natural
factors, such as changes in volcanic activity, solar output, and the Earth’s
orbit around the Sun. In terms of the Earth’s energy balance, these factors
primarily influence the amount of incoming energy. Volcanic eruptions are episodic and
have relatively short-term effects on climate. Changes in solar radiance have contributed to climate trends over the past century but since the Industrial
Revolution, the effect of additions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere has
been about ten times that of changes in the Sun’s output. Climate change can also be caused by
human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and the conversion of
land for forestry and agriculture. Since the beginning of the Industrial
Revolution, these human influences on the climate system have increased substantially.
In addition to other environmental impacts, these activities change the land
surface and emit various substances to the atmosphere. These in turn can
influence both the amount of incoming energy and the amount of outgoing energy
and can have both warming and cooling effects on the climate. The
dominant product of fossil fuel combustion is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
The overall effect of human activities since the Industrial Revolution has been
a warming effect, driven primarily by emissions of carbon dioxide and enhanced
by emissions of other greenhouse gases.
