The tragedy of climate change

Climate change is accompanied by global warming that causes glaciers to melt, flood and sweep everywhere, polluting the atmosphere and water resources in many parts of the world.

Melting ice is the first image to appear in people's minds when it comes to global warming.Glaciers in the world are becoming increasingly subdued under the impact of rising heat.In the picture, the phenomenon of cracking on Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina

Melting ice also affects the lives of many wildlife, in which polar bears are typical examples.The white bear's hunting grounds are cold and icy lands, but when this place is affected by global warming, they are forced to become attackers and predators of their children.

According to experts, it is not possible to determine a direct direct link between climate change and forest fire.However, they believe that the increase in wildfires in the western United States is due in part to warming temperatures.Experts predict that if temperatures rise, forest fires, as is the case in California in 2012, will appear more and more.

Rising sea levels and the occurrence of storms lead to flood risks in many countries around the world.Heavy rain caused floods to sweep across the state of Colorado in 2013, which drowned many areas under the sea.

Floods once swept and caused heavy damage in many areas near Brazil's Amazon River in 2012, while droughts ravaged the northeastern region.The woman in the picture is taking water from a lake near dryness in the state of Bahia.

Rising temperatures are expected to significantly affect water supplies in the world.The crab in the picture died dry in a depleted lake near South Korean capital Soeul, during a severe drought in 2012.

Thousands of dead fish float on the surface of Lake Nageen, Srinagar, India.Hot weather reduces the amount of oxygen in the water lower than normal conditions, which causes fish to die.Rising temperatures are also a threat to aquatic organisms.

Water in many lakes in China turns green because of the algae outbreak, producing many dangerous toxins for other aquatic organisms.The variegated color in Sao Sao Lake (photo), in Chaohu City, Anhui Province, formed due to the appearance of algae.Water quality is one of the alarming environmental problems in China, which directly affects people's lives.

Despite the negative impacts of climate change, countries around the world continue to emit carbon and other greenhouse gases, seriously affecting air quality and human health.Belchatow power plant in Poland (pictured) is a power plant using coal, polluting the air with 37 million tons of CO2 in 2013 only.

Forests are places to store carbon or Earth's carbon pools.However, the burning activity has "released" the stored carbon into the air.Burning forests or destroying forests also increases greenhouse gas emissions.

The amount of methane released from livestock production accounts for a large part of the total greenhouse gas emissions.Cows are the largest source of methane emissions in the US in 2012.
