Conference of parties 26th summit took place in Glasgow, because United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (= UNFCCC), formulated and enforced this treaty on the year 1994. Till then up to 2021, this is the 26th time this convention is held. Taking into account most of the nations participating in the lively discussions, considering the under-developed, developing, and developed countries that take part in the process, our UN Secretary-General Sir Antonio Guterres called the meeting, a negotiation with intermediate opinions having initiated steps but not sufficient to compensate for the changes the climate in the world 🌎 takes.
Overall view of all nations considered the advancements are very unsatisfactory. Most developed nations failed the target of $ 100 billion per year to be delivered to the other developing and underdeveloped countries as adaptation money for clean energy installation like solar, wind 💨 power, also subsequent reduction in coal, fossil fuel consumption. Also a start of most low emission energy system by catalytic converters or scrubbers, which eliminate most harmful emissions, carbon monoxide, gases which create global warming. Their installation and economy. To start renewable energy sources, tidal or hydro power systems.
The summit also urged countries to target warming limits annually to 1•5° to 2•0°C maximum to be reached by the end of 2022. Also countries who has not updated to new plans in view of the decisions taken, to do so ;earliest by next year. India announced that it's coal consumption cannot immediately go to ‘phase-out ‘ I.e. stop ;instead will definitely tend to ’phase-down I.e. slow down with time proceeding, and opt for other non-conventional energy sources as economy permits.
The next summit will take place at Egypt in 2022.
Air Pollution up to 2•5 parts per million for 24 hours exposure clearly affects the respiratory and cardiovascular system and such regular exposure affects the brain. Some old asthma with such exposure may turn worse, and create laboured breathing; even heart ❤️ rate may change which in turn may hamper ability to work. Fatigue and concentration problem may alter performance of an individual, due to the exposure. Ultimately this leads to less productivity and eventual sizable monetary losses in production sector. To meet such grievance clean energy sources like solar, wind 💨 tidal power is sought. Also factory smoke stacks fitted with scrubbers eliminate much toxic and poisonous gases like carbon monoxide, etc. which otherwise create nuisance. Car exhaust fitted with catalytic converters provide modern minimum emissions, even engines has systems which reuses burnt gases giving rise to smart stage lV engines with minimum emission. Such systems in every exhaust though cost effective yet provides clean air. Electric storable engines, petroleum gas driven engines, etc. are in use now a days.
Nitrogen deposit in soil increases due to air pollution, which in turn creates acidic conditions that reduces the nutrients that caterpillars need to grow for butterfly life on Earth which also enhances pollination.
Ozone pollution effect small birds like sparrows, warblers, finches, which in turn damages their respiratory tracts, the pollution also reduces their food sources. A 20% of bird life is lost in the US in the last 40 years due to the ozone pollution.
Due to the increased carbon dioxide in air ; a toxic nutrient like tannin builds up in eucalyptus leaves' sap on which the rare spices of Koalas in Australia feed. This tannin like sap is indigestible to the koalas. Their numbers are declining.
In southern Asiatic region La Nina an oceanic atmospheric phenomenon, the colder counter part of El Nino will spread suspended particulate matter in the air leading to prolonged urban smog. In India in the Indo Gangetic plain a primary back to back la nina may create on the cold months from December to February 2022. An inversion occurs when the cold air gets trapped under the warm air which came at the surface by the hot current that rises and subsequent cold water from the depth of bay of Bengal spreads this smog, terming La Nina. This coming winter it is a rare phenomenon to witness.
Please go through the passage and oblige. Subir Kumar Ghosh.
