Climate Change: Causes, Impacts, Solutions

Jalvayu Parivartan refers to long-term changes in Earth's climate, primarily driven by global warming due to human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions. Major impacts include rising temperatures, melting glaciers, sea level rise, and extreme weather events, particularly affecting regions in India. Mitigation and adaptation measures are essential, including afforestation, renewable energy use, and international agreements like the Paris Agreement.

■ JALVAYU PARIVARTAN (CLIMATE CHANGE) – DEEP HINGLISH NOTES ■ Jalvayu

Parivartan kya hota hai?


Jalvayu Parivartan ka matlab hai ki Earth ka average temperature, rainfall pattern, seasons aur
extreme weather conditions me long-term changes aa jana. Yeh natural bhi hota hai, lekin human
activities ne isko bahut fast kar diya hai.

■ Main Cause: GLOBAL WARMING


Global warming matlab Earth ka temperature badhna. Iska biggest reason hai Greenhouse Gases
(GHGs) jo atmosphere me heat trap karti hain. Major GHGs:
• CO■ – industries, vehicles, deforestation
• CH■ – cattle, rice fields, landfills
• N■O – fertilizers
• Ozone
• CFCs – AC, fridge gases (most harmful)

■ Human Causes of Climate Change


• Fossil fuel burning (coal, petrol, diesel) → CO■ increase
• Forest cutting → CO■ absorption kam
• Agriculture → methane emission
• Rapid urbanization → pollution + heat island effect

■ Climate Change ke Major Impacts


1. Temperature Increase: zyada garmi, heatwaves
2. Glaciers Melt: Himalayan glaciers tezi se pighal rahe hain
3. Sea Level Rise: coastal cities doobne ka risk
4. Irregular Rainfall: flood + drought dono badhe
5. Extreme Weather Events: cyclones, storms, cloudburst
6. Agriculture Damage: crop failure, food shortage risk
7. Biodiversity Loss: animals extinct, coral bleaching

■■ India me Climate Change ke Specific Effects


• Himalaya glaciers melt → Ganga, Yamuna par impact
• Assam, Bihar → frequent floods
• Rajasthan, Gujarat → drought
• Mumbai, Chennai → sea level ke karan risk
• Delhi, UP, MP → severe heatwaves
• Crop damage → wheat, rice, pulses effected
■ Mitigation (Roktham) Measures
• Afforestation & reforestation
• Fossil fuel use kam karna
• Renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro) use
• Electric vehicles promotion
• Recycling & waste reduction
• Water conservation techniques
• Industries me emission-control technology

■ Adaptation Measures
• Water storage systems
• Climate-resistant crops
• Early warning system for disasters
• Coastal protection walls
• Smart irrigation system

■ International Efforts
• Kyoto Protocol (1997): emission reduction treaty
• Paris Agreement (2015): global warming ko 1.5°C tak limit karna
• IPCC: climate change research body

■ MOST IMPORTANT POINTS FOR QUIZ


• Climate change ka main reason = Greenhouse effect
• Sabse harmful GHG = CO■
• International treaty = Paris Agreement 2015
• Major impacts = flood, drought, glacier melt, heatwaves
• India’s actions = solar mission, afforestation, EV promotion
