What actually is a climate change ?
The rising temperatures are not the only indications of climate change.
When there are unexpected Hurricanes, unexpected storms when the sea level rises at an abnormal rate are all the results of climate change.
The popular misconception is the carbon dioxide released from the vehicles is the major source of global warming/ climate change. There are many industries and factors that result in global warming. For example, the meat industry is one of the major sources for releasing greenhouse gases, crop production industry (GMO’s), and we from our everyday appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, etc.
How does all these results in global warming ?
On average earth receives 324 watts/m2 of energy from sun, out of which a total of 235 watts is absorbed, 67 watts by the atmosphere, 168 by the surface, and 107 watts reflected back into space.
Greenhouse gases increases the energy absorption of sunlight by 1.1% directly compared to pre industrial times and by 3.3% overall due to cascading effect. This increases total absorbed watts/m2 by 7.2 watts/m2 from 235 watts to 242.3 watts/m2.
This effect is not reversible even if we stopped all Co2 emissions now, since it takes CO2 200 years on average to be reabsorbed by land or by Ocean.
In layman’s terms, the Greenhouse gases released from industries and other means create a thick layer in the atmosphere which stops the energy reflecting back so it stays back in the earth’s atmosphere which increases earth temperature resulting in the domino effect of climate change.
These raising temperatures are the causes for the increasing wild fires we see, unexpected cat 5 hurricanes, severe storms, and draughts. It results in loss of harvestable land which results in good scarcity and many others.
There are thousands of researches concluded that climate change is real and we humans are the main reason for it, and there are no research or evidence to prove its hoax.
