Answer 1

Climate is continuously changing on the earth from the time it has formed. Diversity of life on the earth is very high and each organism is involved in climate change. humans are much more responsible for the climate change. As more and more science developed and human requirements increased , lot of industries are set up. Which are releasing number of effluents in to the atmosphere. These industrial effluents have a lot in the process of atmospheric changes. Excess mining of fossil fuels and burning these also release too much of harmful gases in to the atmosphere. The gases released include oxides of C,N and S, CH4 and other hydrocarbons. These gases in the atmosphere are called green house gases. They increase the temperature of the atmosphere. This effects the plant growth in different regions. Animals also need to move more towards the poles to survive. See levels will rise because of the melting of ice in poles. All these effect human life.

Deforestation occurring will effect the rain fall in the region. More deforestation, less rain. the region gradually becomes a desert. Lack of potable water effects human survival. So deforestation needs to be stopped. Due to excessive deforestation for human settlement and also as raw materials for various industries has drastic effect on the environment. Seasons are changing causing extreme temperature or extreme cold because of the disturbance in the nature. Water is most important for survival, both for plants and also animals and humans.Deforestation is effecting the fresh water availability,which is effecting crop production in the regions.

Certain chemicals used such as CFCs are harmful and they destroy the ozone layer allowing UV rays to reach the earth more. Excess UV rays cause various abnormalities in humans and also in plants and animals.

Green house gas emissions need to be stopped by all the countries, especially the developed countries.

More trees need to be planted, less fossil fuels need to be used. Alternate sources of energy such as solar energy, wind energy are the need of the day. Electric car which is less polluting is also the need of the hour.

Another very important pollutant is the use of plastics. Plastics usage has to be completely stopped by every individuals. Each individual has to take the responsibility to save mother earth for future generations.

Last but not the least, minimalistic approach in life is very good to save the earth. Human needs have to reduce and we should learn to live with minimum materials.
