Question
It is important to study climate change.
✓
Answer
The earth’s climate is changing faster primarily as a result of human activities.
Number of flash floods are increasing, especially in urban areas.
Due to warming of oceans the rate of evaporation is high, which is the root cause of both flooding and droughts.
Due to increase in temperature, there is melting of snow on mountains and sea level is rising.
Human activities, especially emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion, deforestation and land use changes are the primary drivers of the climate changes observed in the industrial era.
