1. How climate change happens in the earth?
Climate change refers to the change in the environmental conditions of the earth. This happens due to
many internal and external factors. The climatic change has become a global concern over the last few
decades. Besides, these climatic changes affect life on the earth in various ways. These climatic changes are
having various impacts on the ecosystem and ecology. Due to these changes, a number of species of plants
and animals have gone extinct. Although there are hundreds of reason for the climatic change we are only
going to discuss the natural and manmade (human) reasons.
Natural Reasons
These include volcanic eruption, solar radiation, tectonic plate movement, orbital variations. Due to these
activities, the geographical condition of an area become quite harmful for life to survive. Also, these
activities raise the temperature of the earth to a great extent causing an imbalance in nature
Human Reasons
Man due to his need and greed has done many activities that not only harm the environment but himself
too. Many plant and animal species go extinct due to human activity. Human activities that harm the
climate include deforestation, using fossil fuel, industrial waste, a different type of pollution and many
more. All these things damage the climate and ecosystem very badly. And many species of animals and
birds got extinct or on a verge of extinction due to hunting.
[Link] can you solve climate change?
Man has polluted the environment at a large scale. There is no doubt that the planet and atmosphere we
call home could one day turn against us.
Despite the fact that humans have caused significant damage to the climate and ecosystem.
But it is not too late to start over and try to undo the damage we have done to the environment up to this
point And if every human begins to contribute to the environment, we can be certain of our continued
[Link] the last few decades, the Earth's temperature has been steadily rising.
The earth's temperature has risen by 3%. Pollution caused by the large-scale release of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere by factories and industries forms a blanket over the atmosphere.
Global warming can disrupt ecosystems and weather patterns and disrupt the entire chain of events. We all
will have to pay for the reasons that we did. Therefore we have to put steps forward to stop or prevent
global warming and not have to seek colonization on other planets. It seems impossible to stop climate
change but it is easy to prevent it by further damage by taking few initiatives.
There are solutions to this problem, but we must use and apply them. Walking and biking more can help us
save gas and reduce pollution in the [Link] cars could also be used instead of vehicles that emit gas and
other chemicals into the [Link] trees and plants can help because they absorb carbon dioxide,
removing it from the air and replacing it with oxygen, which is beneficial to both humans and the
environment. We should plant as many trees as we are cutting down, because we are cutting down a lot of
trees without replacing them, and trees are essential for life and the air on Earth; without trees, we wouldn't
have oxygen, and our atmosphere wouldn't be the same. We can eat more locally grown food, which will
reduce gas emissions from transporting food from out of town. Using less heat and air conditioning can also
help; simply lowering your house temperature by two degrees in the winter and keeping it two degrees
higher in the summer can make a significant difference. Saving electricity by turning off all lights,
computers, TVs, and other electrical devices when you are not using them can also help. Also, if we use
less hot water by lowering the temperature on your hot water tank, using low flow shower heads, washing
clothes with cold water, and using the energy saving mode on dishwashers can also be very helpful. You
could also use the reduce, reuse, recycle
[Link] the different advantages of Gene therapy?
Gene therapy is pretty complicated, but exciting too. It has the potential to be life-changing for people with
rare genetic diseases, cancer, and more. But like all medical treatments, there are positive and negative
aspects to using gene therapy. It’s always important to weigh the risks and benefits of any medical
treatment. Here are some different advantages of gene therapy.
Options. Gene therapy can potentially cure someone of a disease, especially in instances where no other
medications have worked.
Only has to be given one time. Existing gene therapies are given as a one-time dose. This is appealing
compared to some other treatments that require multiple doses.
Long-lasting effects. Gene therapy has the potential to get rid of a person’s symptoms for life. Gene
therapy can give many people a better quality of life.
Positive effects passed down through generations. If you remove a faulty gene from a parent, they
won’t transfer this gene to their kids.
Rapidly-changing technology. Gene therapy is able to exist because of massive advances in technology
over the past few decades. Since technology continues to advance, we can expect gene therapy to
continue to improve. We can also expect more gene therapies to gain FDA approval.
