Climate change will affect the natural, social and economic welfare of people. By better understanding the impacts of climate change on our environment, communities and lifestyles, we can prepare and adapt for the future. Changes in some types of natural hazards have already been observed. For example, there have been increases in the frequency and intensity of heat waves and in heavy precipitation. These are known factors for Global warming which is already having significant and costly effects on our communities, our health, and our climate. It has set in motion a chain of effects in ecosystems around the world.
Although we do not know exactly what the effects and future trends will be, there is a mounting body of evidence that many species have already responded to changing climatic conditions. Unless we take immediate action to reduce global warming emissions, these impacts will continue to intensify, grow ever more costly and damaging, and increasingly affect the entire planet — including you, your community, and your family.
If we consider news for Earth Care, we can't realistically stop the rise of CO2 in the near term to go green Earth, but we can slow it and therefore reduce the consequences that will occur. More fuel-efficient cars, less frivolous driving, more use of mass transit, improved insulation to decrease the fuel burned to heat and cool our homes, more efficient appliances, use of fluorescent rather than incandescent light bulbs, and careful monitoring of home electricity usage can reduce our energy needs. Need of conversion to alternatives like wind and solar power which don't burn fossil fuels and emit CO2 into the atmosphere. Planting large areas with trees will consume CO2 as the trees grow, until the forests mature. This and many other environmental initiatives in India are required to properly mitigate this issue and ensure a better future.
