 Recently,
the United Nations has stated that pollution and greenhouse gasses in our
atmosphere have hit record levels. Carbon dioxide (CO2), which
is one of the most harmful pollutants, has been harming the Earth’s atmosphere
for many decades. Also, the concentration of the gas
has risen 39 percent since 1750.
CO2 traps heat in our environment, causing extreme weather conditions.
Jeremiah Lengoasa, the Deputy Secretary-General
for the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) 세계기상기구, states that
carbon emissions are responsible
for roughly 80 percent of the
rapid increase of greenhouse gasses.
The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin showed that the
world got 29 percent hotter since 1990. Water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide are other gases
that poke holes into our atmosphere.
 “With
this picture in mind, even if emissions were stopped
overnight globally, the atmospheric concentrations
would continue for decades because
of the long lifetime of these greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere,” said Lengoasa.
WMO’s report stated that human
activities like the burning of fossil fuels and maintaining agriculture are major causes of greenhouse gas
emissions, which lead to climate change to both extremes (hot and cold).
Later this month, almost all of the world’s nations will meet in South
Africa to try to mediate and resolve the issue. Some countries
are experiencing unusual climate changes.
Others are already seeing extreme conditions and may be in danger. |
