The uncontrolled blaze of Canada is a serious issue of concern,
which is effecting the ecological balance of the Canadians biological system.
the climate change in Canada is the root cause of the
wild fires in Canada . according to the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), After the beginning
of industrial revolution the most important cause of climate change in Canada
is mainly due to the human activities of burning fossil fuels in a large extent
and due to this the vast area of land has been changed from forest to
farmlands.
Burning fossil fuels
produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. It is called a greenhouse gas
because it produces a “greenhouse effect”. The greenhouse effect makes the
earth warmer, just as a greenhouse is warmer than its surroundings.Carbon dioxide(CO2) is the main cause of human-induced climate
change.
It stays in the atmosphere for a very long time. Other
greenhouse gases, such as nitrous oxide, stay in the atmosphere for a long
time. Other substances only produce short-term effects.
Not all substances produce warming. Some, like certain aerosols,
can produce cooling.
significant strides to curb
climate change
since carbon dioxide is the main cause of human-induced
climate change leading to the global warming so the most important step to curb
the emission of carbon dioxide(co2) should be lemmatizing the burning of fossil
fuels, setting up effective rules and guidelines for the industries to limit the
emission of carbon dioxide. since co2 is a long lived gas which means it will
remain in the atmosphere for centuries so to stop this threat of global warming
we need to reduce the human fossil fuel combustion and industrial process to zero, but even with zero emissions, the
global temperature will remain essentially constant at its new warmer level.
Emissions of other substances that warm the climate must also be substantially
reduced. This indicates how difficult the challenge is.
now the question arises
what is climate change?
Climate change
is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in
temperature, precipitation, winds, and other indicators.
The earth's climate is
naturally variable on all time scales. However, its long-term state and average
temperature are regulated by the balance between incoming and outgoing energy,
which determines the Earth's energy balance. Any factor that causes a sustained
change to the amount of incoming energy or the amount of outgoing energy can
lead to climate change.
factors responsible for
climatic change can be broadly divided into two categories -
- · natural
process
- · human
activities
over the past century solar radiations have contributed to
the climatic trends at a great extent. After the beginning of industrial
revolution the effect of additions of greenhousegases to the atmosphere has been over 50 times that of
changes in the Sun's output.
According to the Canadian
climate institute by 2025 climate induced damages will slow Canada's
economic growth by 2025 annually which means it is a threat to the economic
conditions too.
The
adverse effect on human health
The air quality of New York city has
deteriorated as smoke from the Canadian wildfires poured into the US East Coast
and Midwest, with data showing that the pollution level in
the metropolitan city was highest among significant cities worldwide, even surpassing
New Delhi.
The New York city reduced
an AQI of 342, a level considerable as most " hazardous
" for all residents.
"Our modern industrial economy takes a mountain covered with trees,
lakes, running streams and transforms it into a mountain of junk, garbage,
slime pits, and debris."
There
is sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
