Human beings are to be blamed for global climate change.

Apart from politico-economic issues, the one problem that is disturbing the people these days is climate change. It is not only affecting India but almost all the continents. The problem is expected to worsen with each passing day. Many people argue that it is the humans who are responsible for all these problems. Are the activities performed by human beings responsible for the global climate change?

Yes

• Deforestation is done by the humans to fulfill their own needs. It is the cutting of trees which is mainly responsible for the global climate change.

• The amount of CO2 is increasing day by day in the environment. This excessive CO2 is resulting from the burning of fossil fuels including coal and oil.

• Deforestation and the increased demand of fuels are led by increase in population. It is increasing at an alarming rate.

• People hardly care about their environment and therefore day by day pollution is increasing in all parts of country leading to global warming.

• Increase in the usage of natural resources, vehicles etc. on account of growth in the population add up to global warming.

No

• It has been a decade and the environment has not any major signs of global climate change. It is admitted by the IPCC head.

• It is the natural environment responsible for the climate change. Humans may contribute in speeding up the process but they definitely don’t results in the climate change.

• Every now and then it is said that the increased levels of CO2 are causing problems. Why the increased CO2 levels are not creating any problems directly for the humans?

• It is all part of the nature and the cycles and fluctuations followed by the nature. It is just a part of renewal process.

Conclusion

In any case the fact remains the same. The global climate change is happening and has even started impacting human race. Even if we accept that the humans are not responsible for the global climate change then too the efforts have to be made by the human race to face the serious danger posed by the Global Climate Change.
