Human Interventions on Climate Change

Unnati Mishra, Subhrajit Banerjee

Abstract


Human activities have been affecting the environment in many ways, from thousands of years. We have been using the natural resources through agriculture, traveling, urbanization and commercial networks, since human walked the earth. And now we are exploiting the natural resources without thinking of our future generation. At this point, the impact of human activities on the environment is substantial, which causes ecosystem imbalance. Human civilization and technology have affected the environment and development in both, positive and negative ways. Especially after the Industrial revolution, the environment has badly affected human activities. Change in atmosphere in the amounts of Greenhouse gases, aerosols, and cloudiness caused by human activities. The large contribution of emission of harmful gases done by industries. Since the start of the Industrial revolution the climate has a warming influence. Industrialization has always been the boon to wealth and better lifestyle which make life easy but in reality, it affects our environment in negative way and also contributes to climate change. The emission with industries many challenges have come up like coping with higher temperatures, extreme weather conditions, changing human life styles etc. By air and on roads, the world has cut the emission of CO2, back heavily on travel. “Full lockdowns have also pushed” says the IEA. Across the full year, the need for electricity have fallen by 5%—the biggest drop since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
