Essay Harmful Effect of Climate Change

Man is living on the earth being inundated in the great ocean of air which is essential for the existence of human life, plant life, and animal life. Without favourable environment, weather, and climate, it would not be possible to create the vast bio-diversity in air, land, and ocean. Only favourable environment, weather, and climate can ensure a safe and risk free existence of life.

It is very unfortunate that we take various elements from nature for our everyday use, but we do not hesitate to destroy it indiscreetly. We are forgetting that by destroying the balance of nature we are inviting ecological imbalance. And this ecological imbalance is bringing about changes in the world’s climate and continuously threatening the existence of our life.

There are many causes behind this climate change. Among them greenhouse effect is the main cause. There are also many causes for this greenhouse effect. The first cause is the environmental pollution that is caused by the huge emission of carbon dioxide, the destruction of tropical rain forests and burning down of fossil fuel. Rapid growth of industry, unplanned urbanization, traffic, the use of CFC and methane are also responsible for this greenhouse effect.

Today climate change and its impact are the prime concern of the climatologists. They are noticing gradual global warming around the world due to this climate change. If we fail to check this global warming, the balance of the environment will break down and the world temperature would be hotter day by day. There would be drought throughout the world. Wildlife, forestry, agriculture, and fishery will be seriously damaged. 

The most alarming news is that the ice in the arctic region is melting due to global warming resulted from greenhouse effect. The melt of ice in the arctic region will invariably overflow the banks of the rivers and cause frequent floods in the coastal areas. As a result, many islands of the world, cities situated near the sea, and many low-lying parts of the world including Bangladesh may one day go under water. Undoubtedly, it is a great threat for the low lying countries like Bangladesh.

After all, if we want to prevent the harmful effects of climate change, we should take some necessary steps immediately. Firstly, we have to stop greenhouse effect at any cost if we want to stop global warming. We have to stop the use of CFC, the use of fire woods, and bio-fuels. We must expand and strengthen the programmes of planting trees, especially in the coastal areas if we want to save our beloved world. Above all, we have to stop environment pollution and develop public awareness to protect the environment.
