Climate Crisis in Antarctica

  What's happening?   The polar regions are the first to be affected by the heating climate, and dramatic changes are already underway in Antarctica.   Floating ice shelves are melting rapidly, raising concerns about sudden, uncontrollable sea level rise. The Antarctic Peninsula, a popular tourist destination, is one of the most rapidly warming places in the Southern Hemisphere, with average summer temperatures increasing by over 5°F (3°C) between 1970 and 2020.    Since the 1970s the Southern Ocean has absorbed as much as 75 percent of the excess heat created by humans, and 40 percent of the carbon dioxide. Warmer, more acidic oceans are already impacting Antarctic ecosystems, with many penguin colonies shrinking, and in some cases disappearing altogether.     The impacts Antarctica and its ice, ocean and ecosystems play a critical role in regulating the global climate. Together they help slow global heating, drive i...

Warmer Globes

 Although this has been a topic of constant discussion, It can't be emphasized enough. Can't be something out of awareness of people. And this sometimes makes me wonder what a great evil this ignorance is. Just how unaware a person can be? People still don't understand that half their body parts are outside their bodies. Namely trees as their lungs, Soil as their Digestive system, Water bodies as their circulation system. And continue to harm themselves. This Globe we know of is facing a huge fever and slowly becoming sick. People these days call it "Global Warming". The greenhouse effect causes global warming, which is defined as a rise in average global temperatures. Certain atmospheric gases operate like greenhouse glass, enabling sunlight to warm the earth's surface while storing the temperature as it radiates up into the atmosphere. The Earth becomes hotter as greenhouse gases pile up in the atmosphere. This process is causing fast climate change, general...

  Health Issues   The population in areas where there is no proper waste disposal method, there the waste is thrown on roads or near water bodies. Harmful microorganisms that can infect hospital patients, health workers and the public causing diseases. Organic domestic waste poses a major threat since they give rise to favorable conditions to the survival and growth of microbial pathogens. Direct handling of these solid waste can result in various types of infectious and chronic diseases the waste workers and the rag pickers being the most vulnerable.   Impact On Wildlife and Aquatic Life   Garbage dumps, which are full of harmful products and chemicals, are posing a serious threat to animal and plant life. The main cause of health complications and disruptive reproductive patterns in animal is due to accidental ingest of plastic. Plastics pollution has a direct deadly effect on wildlife. Many sea turtles, seabirds, seals, and other marine mammals are kil...
