Some Biggest Indications Of Climate Change

Today our planet earth is warming up like anything increasing CO2 levels are depleting the ozone layer year by year. The average global temperature of our planet was -0.22 between 1800-89. Now it has shot up to +0.74 between 2010-2017. this figure gives a big proof of that. It is estimated that by the end of the century earth temperature will 2.5 degrees higher than what it is now. Which will have devastating effects on our planet.

Global Warming Scenario For Future

Here are some biggest indications of climate change

• Global Temperature Rise: Our earth's average temperature has risen to 0.9 degrees since the late 19th Century. By carbon dioxide and other fossil fuel emissions most of the warming occurred in the last 35 years. With the seven consecutive warmest years all happening since 2010. 2016 was earth's hottest year on record recording excessive high temperatures in all the 12 months boosted with a very strong El-Nino event which is one of the biggest indications of climate change.
• Warming Of Oceans: Oceans have warmed extremely due to increased heat with top 2500 Ft of ocean warming up to 0.6 Degree Farhanite since 1959.
• Growing Intensity Of Heatwaves: There has been a lot of increase in the intensity of heatwaves with global heat pulling up. Europe saw massive heatwaves in 2003 and 2006 killing thousands of people. Nawabshah city in Pakistan saw the highest temperature of 48 degrees Celsius on 30th April 2018. The United States also saw deadly heatwaves in 2012. Which shows that they are Some Biggest Indications Of Climate Change.

• Glacier Melting: There has been a lot of retreats in glaciers from late 19th Century till now due to increasing temperatures. White chuck glacier in the USA lost more than 70% of ice since 1973. Arctic Sea saw the minimum ice cover on record in 2016.

• Sea Level Rise: There has been a dramatic rise in sea levels from the last century it almost increased to 8 inches since 1910. It is projected that by the end of the century the sea level rise will drown millions of coastal cities. Global sea levels could rise up to 9 FT by 2100.
• Extreme Climate Events: There will be a lot of boost in natural calamities like floods, hurricanes, extreme weather and change in rainfall patterns. The US also experienced a lot of extreme torrential rainfall in the past decade. The activities are Some Biggest Indications Of Climate Change.

       

           

• Ocean Acidification: The increasing CO2 has lead to a big issue of ocean acidification which is making the seawater acidic. Resulting in the destruction of coral reefs and the extension of the sea animals. The Great Barrier Reef near Australia is almost damaged by 80% due to ocean acidification.

• Consecutive Snow In the Sahara Desert For Past 3 Years: Our planet has seen strange weather like this in a desert area where weather conditions are usually warm and dry. There have been reports of snow from the last 3 years which surprised the people staying there. This is considered to be some biggest indications of climate change.

• Glass Melting In Glasgow Science Centre: in mid-2018 Scotland saw a dangerous heatwave resulting in above-average temperatures by +10 degrees. Which melted the glasses in the science centre. There were also reports of road melting in Scotland and Ireland.
• Bats Dying In Australia: In early 2018 there were reports that a severe heatwave affected Australia and New-Zealand. Where temperature crossed 47 degrees mark. The severity of heatwave was so vast that it killed nearly more than thousands of bats.
