End of "Global Warming" to the era of "World Warming"
Does everyone feel the same about the current climate? Just a little exposure to the sun is so hot that it stings the skin. And no matter how hot the weather was, in some areas, there was heavy and severe rain that caused flooding. These are just some of the effects of global warming.
What is global boiling?
"Global Boiling" is a transitional state from "Global Warming," in which the greenhouse effect becomes more dense. To the point of being unable to cool the heat received from the sun, industrial combustion, and various human activities can be removed from the world.
Previously, the world experienced a La Niña phenomenon that caused temperatures to cool for more than three years (September 2020–February 2023), during which in 2022 there was a violent eruption of the underwater volcano Tonga-Hunga, Tonga. Until it became a tsunami more than 1 meter high on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Later in 2023, the world will have to face the El Niño phenomenon again. This causes a cumulative accumulation of carbon dioxide and global heat. Until July 2023, the month recorded as the world's highest average temperature on record. The Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN) has therefore announced that we have officially entered the Global Boiling Era. This condition has severe and widespread impacts, such as:
1. Extreme weather changes Even though the weather is extremely hot, it is causing drought and severe forest fires. But in some areas, there was heavy rain that caused floods. including landslides
2. Health problems The global crisis affects human physical and mental health. From being in the womb until old age, that is the cause of unborn children being born and the elderly dying prematurely due to extremely hot weather and pollution. In the long run, it also affects children's development and has the potential to cause severe stress and depression. In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that global boiling is the cause behind the spread of viruses such as dengue fever, the Zika virus, Chikungunya disease, and Aedes aegypti disease, which are spreading around the world and have also caused cholera, dengue fever, and food poisoning to spread heavily and increase in severity as well.
3. The level and temperature of seawater have increased. The world is boiling, causing polar icebergs to melt 6-7 times faster than they did 25 years ago, causing sea levels and temperatures to rise. Flooding the homes of people in coastal areas and affecting the lives of marine animals, including It is the cause of the coral bleaching phenomenon as well.
4. Extinct living things Drastic and rapid changes in climate and geography As a result, many living things, including insects, plants, and animals, that were unable to adapt quickly died and went extinct at an alarming rate.
5. Poverty, food shortage, and migration of the world population Disasters cause damage to property, homes, and lives, including agricultural, fishing, and livestock areas that are the source of human food production. Moreover, the heat is an obstacle to working outdoors and living in slums. It is predicted that by 2050, more than 1,000 million people in the world may have to migrate. Due to climate disaster and failure to solve the problem
How to survive the global boiling crisis?
From the above, it is clear that only one person cannot solve the global boiling problems. It requires cooperation from all sectors. As for the public sector, we can help reduce the global crisis as follows:
1. Reduce waste for the world. This can be done by avoiding the use of plastic. Then turn to using environmentally friendly materials. Choose clothes that you can wear for a long time, and don't change them too often (slow fashion). Cook and eat in moderation. There is no waste left over (zero food waste) because of the organic substances in food scraps. When it decomposes, methane gas is produced. Causes global boiling 25 times more than carbon dioxide.
2. Together save energy. water, electricity, oil, and other types of energy use a lot of resources to produce. Including the production process, there is also the burning of fossils. which causes enormous amounts of carbon dioxide If we work together to use this energy economically It will greatly reduce the boiling of the world.
3. Use public transportation. Roads around the world are congested with gasoline and electric vehicles. If we work together to use public transportation or use the same route to share a car, In addition to helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 88.94%, it is also solving the problem of traffic jams. In addition, when traveling is close, you may ride a bike or walk. It will make our health stronger as well.
4. Add green space to the world. One tree can help absorb an average of 9–15 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. If we help plant trees to increase green space in the world, Trees will help us produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Increase fresh air and reduce pollution for us. It is also a shade. It helps block sunlight and reduce dependency on air conditioning. It helps to save more energy. In addition, tree roots help bind the soil tightly and absorb water in the soil. This helps reduce the rate of floods and landslides.
5. Support businesses that save the world. The industrial sector can be considered a source of carbon emissions on a large scale of the world. Turning to use products and services from manufacturers or service providers that care about the planet and are environmentally friendly (Eco-Actives) will help reduce the greenhouse effect enormously and sustainably.
