Deteriorating climate and its future complications

In recent years, the world has witnessed unprecedented changes in climate patterns, raising serious concerns about the future of our planet. The growing unpredictability of weather—scorching summers, erratic rainfall, intense storms—has gone beyond natural variation and firmly points toward the pressing reality of climate change.

The rise in global temperatures is no longer a forecast; it is a fact. Summer heatwaves have become more frequent and severe, while winters are growing less predictable.

Unseasonal rains and droughts are wreaking havoc on agriculture, disrupting the lives of farmers and threatening food security. In some regions, including arid zones that rarely saw rain, unexpected downpours are now a common occurrence. One of the most alarming consequences is the rapid melting of glaciers in the polar regions. As ice caps shrink, sea levels continue to rise, putting low-lying coastal areas at risk of submersion.

Simultaneously, the planet is witnessing an uptick in natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, droughts, and forest fires. The devastating forest fires in pine-rich areas are not just a loss of green cover—they are leading to the tragic death of wildlife and the destruction of habitats, alongside significant loss of human property.
