Latest news of Climate Change around the world

How Change in Climate is Affecting Natural and Biological Process

From the ancient time up to the onset of industrial society nature and all living beings have been viewed within an inseparable bond. All ancient knowledge emphasized on the importance of natural processes like climate, earthquake, wild fire, cyclone, flood and many other natural incidents on the life and living hood of animals, human beings, insects and all other living beings. But since man and his materialistic ambitions took sole control and possession over the natural resources for the use and manipulations contributing to his own interests, nature and its inherent processes had to curb or suppress themselves or find different routes of the outlet of their force. In this context we have to observe how change in climate is affecting natural and biological processes. Let us categorically see in which ways the change in climate is affecting natural and biological processes and shaping the future living hood upon the earth.

The effect of climate change on the river and its aftermath

Throughout the history of human civilization river and water streams have been considered as the key natural force behind the human establishments, agriculture, natural processes like forestation, rainfall, life cycle of insects and birds, supply of green grass as the natural food for the kettle and almost all natural and biological processes. In the recent times with the disastrous effects of global warming the normal flow of water has largely been deregulated and this posed a serious threat to the riverside living population and to the gross aspects of weather and climate. No wonder that irregular floods, change of direction of river stream, draught are taking disastrous effects in more recurring fashion and this in turn is destroying the life cycle and animal behavior tremendously.

The effect of climate change on the jungle and its aftermath

How the change in climate is affecting natural and biological processes is most visible in the animal as well as plant life of jungle. Recent statistics shown that many of the jungle living species are being driven out of the jungle and forest areas because of the extreme level of deforestation and continuous infiltration of civilized undertakings within and in the vicinity of jungle. Decreasing rainfall rate is affecting the life of the plants and already deforestation is considered to be one of the major causes of change in animal life cycle and living hood.

The effect of climate change on the sea life

All the seas and oceans constituting together make up almost three fourth of the earth?s surface and most of the effects of the climate change on other natural ingredients and biological processes culminates finally into the disastrous effects on the sea life. Pollution of river and other water resources is directly detrimental to the life and survival of sea animals and on the natural evaporation, rainfall as well as wind flow process of the sea and oceans. The same effect of the decreasing rainfall in a cyclic process affects all the natural resources and inhabitants from the mountain glacier and valleys to the jungle and riverside plains to the sea life.

How change in climate is affecting natural and biological processes is the most heated topic in the global forum of discussion regarding the environment and our continued negligence towards addressing the situation properly. In any case, as the situation is reaching in alarming proportion the need for a global consensus regarding the issue is felt to be imminent.

Here you will find the latest news, information and research done on the climate changes. Here are the latest news on Climate change in the world.
