CHANGES IN CLIMATE AND OUR LIFESTYLE Nature is the precious boon to mankind.Nature fulfills all our essential basic needs as well as our comforts.but today,man is exploiting nature due to his selfishness and this led to many problems.the human activities have caused imbalance in the ecosystem which have led to changes in climate leading to some serious problems like acid rain,global warming,flood ,drought etc. The world is affected by global warming.GLOBAL WARMING is the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth.This is due to the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere.This phenomenon is known as "GREEN HOUSE EFFECT".The important cause for global warming is air pollution.The smoke released by automobiles and industries increase the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere.There is a rise of 2 degree to 3 degree Celcius in temperature in the last decade.The rise in temperature has caused the polar ice to melt which has resulted in the submergence of many coastal lands causing death of thousands of people.The change in temperature has affected the natural habitat of plants and animals.This has endangered many species which are now on the edge of life.The OZONE LAYER is getting depleted due to CFC [chloro flora carbon] at a very rapid rate today.This is allowing the harmful short UV rays of the sun to enter the earth's atmosphere and has given rise to many skin cancer and skin diseases.The industries release oxides of sulphur and nitrogen.These oxides combine with rain water and fall to the earth as acid rain.The acid rain has affected the vegetation a lot and many monuments are also deteriorated due to acid rain.The acid rain is also responsible for many skin diseases. The two factors i.e., global warming and acid rain are the two worst impacts of the change in climatic conditions.There is uneven distribution of rainfall,extreme temperatures and due to these adverse climatic conditions,many other problems are also arising.This also has affected the economy of the country. The primary cause for all these is man himself,who is now facing many difficult situations.We have to protect our environment for our better living.It is right to make the maximum judicious use of nature and it is the duty of every individual to contribute his maximum to protect nature
