Cultivation... Whirlwind of problems .
The effect of climate change is directly on the crops, both extreme rains and droughts wipe out the crops completely. And every crop has its required climatic conditions. Growing in this background.
The researchers focused on the issue of the effect of temperature on crops. Their research revealed that climate change is affecting the yield and quality of crops. If we look at crops like maize, rice and wheat in the last two or three years, it has been found that these are coming in hand in less time than in the past. At the same time, crop quality yields are decreasing. Similarly, if the grain yield decreases, the situation will lead to famine and diseases. On the other hand, it has been found that chemical fertilizers are used to increase the yield and another crop is sown in excess as the time is approaching. Scientists warn that not only will the ground water be contaminated with chemicals, but the land will be under pressure due to continuous cultivation. This situation again affects the health of the people. Some types of insects and fungi can survive in hot climates. Due to them there is a risk of pests to crops. Water also becomes thirsty. drought The health of dairy cattle is also affected by the effects of hailstorms and fires. Climate change caused by global warming has increased food insecurity by 13.7 percent worldwide. It is estimated that around ten crore people are stuck in the grip of famine.
Increasing the sea levels
30 percent from the carbon dioxide emitted on earth. | The oceans are absorbing the heat. With that, they heat up along with the earth. Due to the warming of sea waters from the top to a depth of one hundred meters, their temperature has been gradually increasing for fifty years. 0.65 degree centigrade was recorded in 2021, twice as much as in the last twenty years. Water expands when heated. Naturally, the sea level will rise. In addition to this, another reason is the melting glaciers, the glaciers in many mountain ranges around the world are gradually melting. But how fast the ice is melting in the polar regions - Antarctica has lost 148 billion tons of ice in the last 30 years. As all this melt water ends up in the oceans, sea levels have risen at a rate of eight inches in the last twenty years. Scientists estimate that it will increase by another step or more in the next few years, and if it increases, many cities on the east coast of America will be seriously affected. If the ice melts more rapidly, some countries are at risk of drowning. Any slight rise in sea level will submerge coastal areas. The coast will be eroded. When the tide comes, the water comes into the city. Agricultural lands are damaged due to infiltration of saline water. Crops | not ripe As the sea level rises, so do the storms Canes are also increased. Their intensity increases. Many countries are already suffering from hurricanes coming one after the other.
