The terrifying change of the Earth due to climate change
The photos partly show the frightening influence of climate change on life on Earth.
We all know that climate change is becoming more and more complicated. Scientists say that humans are one of the major factors promoting global warming, causing the greenhouse effect.
The most obvious manifestation of global warming is more melting ice, rising sea levels, a variety of unusual weather events such as storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, droughts, prolonged cold weather . leading to a shortage of food, food and a series of epidemics in humans, cattle .
The following photos will partly make viewers see that climate change has caused many direct and indirect impacts on regions around the world.
This is a picture of the former Rocky Mountain National Park - strong, rising pine trees, stretching tens of millions of square meters in the Northwest United States and Western Canada.
This is the image of today's Rocky Mountain National Park - one side of the pine hill has died due to invasive insects, the trees have become more fibrous. According to scientists, it is because of the warming background that makes insects thrive, they attack and attempt to destroy the pine forest here.
The beautiful Great Barrier Reef stretching 2,600km off Australia's coast was previously considered one of the most diverse biosphere areas in the world. It is made up of about 3,000 coral reefs, billions of small living creatures and 900 islands.
However, the natural heritage of this world is severely degraded by global warming. Ocean acidification environment and temperature increase due to climate change is the biggest threat to coral reefs here.
The image above shows that the Great Barrier Reef is gradually eroded. Half of the corals on the Great Barrier have disappeared in the past three decades. Ocean acidification also causes coral bleaching. When corals turn white, they become more sensitive and easier to die. This makes the oceanic ecological environment seriously affected.
The image above is a piece of the Danube river - the second longest river in Europe, originating from Germany flowing east to the Black Sea in Romania. This is one of the important gateways in the trade and shipping industry .
But few know that, under climate change, a prolonged drought occurred in 2011 - 2012 that caused the water level of the Danube to hit a record low. This makes boats here run aground and crowded waterways become paralyzed.
The image on the record Matterhorn - one of the highest peaks in Europe, in the Alps lies on the border of Italy and Switzerland. The photo captures the image of a large block of snow on August 16, 1960.
But this photo taken on August 18, 2005 shows, "Swiss roof " is being eroded. This consequence is because large blocks of ice are melting more and more.
This is a photograph of Muir Glacier glacier in Alaska in the late nineteenth century. You may have noticed that there are many ice shelves in the front - some are nearly 2.1 meters wide.
But few expected, the Muir Glacier glacier has become like this. The photo was taken in the same position as the picture above but the glacier has almost disappeared from view. Instead there is a richly developed vegetation, the coasts covered with gravel - created from deposited sediment when the ice melts on the ground.
This picture of Lake Chad in Africa was taken in the 1930s. It used to be the sixth largest lake in the world, supplying water to at least 20 million people in Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger.
Today, Lake Chad has lost about 80% of its surface area. This is a consequence of the combined impact of irrigation systems, dam construction on rivers and global warming.
The San Blas Islands in Panama are the home of the Guna people. Sluggish thatched roof huts, the lives of people living and living on floating houses are threatened by climate change.
Today, the island community is suffering from prolonged flooding every rainy season. This is the result of rising sea levels when the Earth heats up.
This picture records the coral reefs at Dibba. In 2004, the coral reef is located on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in colorful colors.
Today, coral reefs have been devastated by harmful algae called red tide. The algae are able to bind together to increase greenhouse gases, increase ocean temperatures and kill many marine organisms by reducing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.
Previously, the town of Whitby Harbor in the north of England was once a bustling, bustling town with fishing, boats, shoppers and tourists.
But today, this port is extremely quiet, deserted, abandoned fishing nets and boats. The cause of this devastation is that fish have migrated to other areas. Now, only about 200 fishermen still remain at Whitby.
The photo recorded the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere on Earth in 2003. The red area shows the concentration of 380ppm CO 2 (measurement unit to express the concentration by mass, in millions. ).
The photo after taking it back in 2007 shows that the atmosphere on Earth is increasing. A strong increase in the red zone density, showing many areas of the Earth, is emitting a lot of CO2 - a result of burning fuel and burning forests. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, increasing the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere and thus leading to global warming.
What can you do to reduce CO 2 emissions to help the "slow" Earth warm up, just by the usual jobs?
- Move gradually to walk, bike, use bus instead of using / letting parents ride motorbikes or cars when participating in traffic.
- Find ways to limit the use of energy from firewood / coal or gas. Instead, we can learn about the use of solar energy.
- Actively planting trees (each of you can plant a small beautiful bonsai just to decorate and help the environment cleaner).
