CLIMATE CHANGE

The change of climate is now a major global concern. The worst of all the problems that affect all the flora and fauna of our environment is the climate change. There are many plants and animals that are vulnerable to climate change. As a result of increasing temperature, they are likely to be extinct from nature. But the reasons of increasing temperature are numerous. Firstly, carbon dioxide is, the main culprit for the increasing temperature. Everyday most industries, mills and factories are run in different countries. Besides these, many vehicles ply on the roads. All these create smoke which emits carbon dioxide. In addition, the industrially developed countries are emitting tons of carbon on the sea, which is indirectly responsible for producing carbon dioxide. The more carbon dioxide will increase, the'more the temperature will increase in the world. About 18000 years ago, the sea level was more than 100 metres lower than today. Over the last century, the sea level has risen by 10-20 cm possibly in response .to global warming. The mangrove forest will be affected because of increasing salinity during the winter season and high tides during the monsoon. Moreover, coastal surges will also raise water level in the area.. Therefore, all the plants and animals vulnerable to the climate change will be hampered severely. Owing to high, salinity, many trees will be eliminated. All the flora and fauna will be affected by the salinity of water. They will lose the sources of their food and shelter.
