Climate Change

Climate change refers [বোঝায়] to the long term changes in climate including average temperature and precipitation [বৃষ্টিপাত]. Earth’s climate is changing and this is causing great concern [উদ্বেগ]. The changes taken place in the atmosphere have become one of the serious threats that world faces today. The earth’s climate has changed over the last century. Its impact will be severely [কঠোর] negative on both mankind and nature. Human activities that contribute [অবদান] to climate change include in particular the burning of fossil fuels, agriculture and land-use changes like deforestation. This causes emissions [নির্গমন] of carbon dioxide, the main gas responsible for climate change and for this possibly many catastrophic [দুর্যোগপূর্ণ] changes will be inevitable [অনিবার্য]. The more the greenhouse gases are emitted, the higher tendency [প্রবণতা] will be for the earth to warm. It will expedite [তরান্বিত] the melting of snow and ice. Serious consequences [ফলাফল] will be a rise in sea levels, which will endanger [বিপন্ন] coastal areas and small islands. Therefore, only reducing emissions of greenhouse gases should reduce the risk of the adverse [প্রতিকূল] effects. Many options for emission reduction is available. But the whole world needs to be concerned to remove this fatal [মারাত্মক] threat.
