SEASONS IN INDIA ESSAY 2 (400 WORDS)

Introduction

Anthropological factors such as pollution have caused havoc to the generally smooth seasonal cycles of India. Various activities such as deforestation, urbanization, industrialization, etc have brought an adverse effect on the seasonal changes in India. Excessive deforestation for the construction of residential buildings and industries to cope with the growing demands of the people has led to loss of valuable green cover in the country which in turn has caused disturbance in the rainfall pattern and has also led to the loss of valuable soil cover and floods in various parts of the countries.

Causes of Adverse Effect on Indian Climate

The major cause of climate change is as follows:

1. Urbanization
2. Burning of fossil fuels
3. Emission of greenhouse gases
4. Industrialization
5. Deforestation

Due to the change in rainfall and temperature patterns people have to face extreme climatic conditions. Indian monsoons lead to floods in parts of north east and northwest while the southern parts experience drought to the extreme levels. These changes are confusing scientists and meteorological experts from a considerably long time. It is difficult to assign exact reasons to these adversities. These changes can be permanent or the climate might return to its normal state.

Due to the increase in C02 concentrations in the atmosphere along with the stimulation of production of greenhouse gases, winters are becoming relatively warmer in tropical countries. The presence of these gases in the atmosphere along with the presence of favorable conditions for their oxidation has led to thinning of the ozone layer. Ozone layer obstructs the harmful U.V. radiations from entering the earth’s atmosphere. But due to the damage caused by the greenhouse gases on the ozone layer, the radiations make it through the earth’s atmosphere thus increasing the temperature on the surface and contributing to certain problems such as skin cancer.

According to past records, it is true that climate change is a natural phenomenon but the research from the past few decades suggests that the sudden exponential changes are a result of increasing population and industrialization. Many scientists argue about the irreversibility of these climatic conditions and changes but many others are optimistic about the new researches and enlightenment among people about the changing scenario.

Conclusion

Numerous scientists have sought out ways to reverse the effects of global warming or we can say that at least they’ve all tried. Numerus books, research papers, documentaries, movies etc have been introduced on the growing concern of global warming and its association with climate change.
