Book Description | The whole world is facing a major challenge to preserve and protect the planet Earth, which climate change may cause from devastating disasters that affect many regions of the world and threaten human lives. The phenomenon of climate change is a change in the usual climatic conditions and climate elements. Such as temperatures, winds and rain, for many reasons, the most important of which are: human activities that mostly go back to the beginning of the industrial revolution, as industrial development in recent decades has led to environmental pollution through factory emissions, means of transportation, and others; Which led to global warming or the so-called greenhouse gases. The explanation for this phenomenon is that the rising greenhouse gases envelop the earth with an envelope that allows the visible sunlight to reach the planet, and prevents part of it from returning to space, and counts it inside the planet, so the earth absorbs part of these rays, and the amount of excess heat absorbed by the earth raises its surface temperature above average. Natural, and this phenomenon is somewhat similar to a glass house that retains heat inside and prevents its return to the outside, and the effect of global warming leads to the corruption of ecosystems, and Earth's climate change threatens many forms of life on the surface of the planet. Scientists have estimated the high temperature to rise by more than 0.6 degrees Celsius, and they expect it to rise to between 1.5 and 5 degrees Celsius during the coming decades, which means a frightening escalation and frequency in the severity of disasters, which may mean terrifying human suffering. Scientists have confirmed that the challenge of reducing greenhouse gases is the most important challenge of this century. |
