Climate change is real and true. We as humans through several activities and engagements has in one way or another brought about this climatic change deliberately or unintentionally. Civilization, modernisation, urbanisation etc has also contributed to this climatic change. Part of the climate change includes having heat waves, unusual temperature rise or decrease, unusual waves/rain especially in places where minning/escalations are done etc. Infact, due to this climatic change, changes in seasons of the year has become more pronounced with some "adverse" coming along with it.
One of the major impacts of climatic change that is so expresssible is that seen in the human health. As a healthcare practicioner, i have seen people come down with all sorts as a result of the climate change with i not left out. I can vividly remember that some fre years ago, there was a heat wave that hitted us in Nigeria and some parts of the world which actually reinforces my believe in the global climate change. This heat wave was so pronounced that it was a difficult thing to sleep at night especially when there is no light to power any cooling system such as fan or air conditioner.
In addition, due to climate change, i see alot of people coming down with unusual complaints especially as it relates to skin problem. Also, many came down with several air borne or related diseases/conditions as a result of this climate change. In addition, in recent times, flooding and erosion are on the increase as a result of climatic change leading to global warming with its attendant effects. Climate change is indeed real as somethings we are experiencing now are not so or rare some years back. This was why the government of nations started the sensitisation on climate change to educate their citizens well and to guide appropriately.
Climate change is a global phenomenon that mustn't be joked with even as intense/concerted efforts should be in place across all nations of the world to combact it. Some vital strategy includes the need for afforestation and reforestation, prevention of illegal minning activities, controlled/regulated use of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), intensified public enlightment/campaigns etc. It is good to know that the effect of climate change is severe in some areas than the others i.e. in impacts/magnitude and hence, not to be joked with or counted as a scam. Personally, based on what i have noticed and experienced over the years as compared to now, i can say boldly that climate change is real and individuals must come to the realization of this putting up measures for a safeguard.
In all, the change to combact climate change begins with individual and each person, family, community, bodies etc must work hand-in-hand to achieve a sustainable and better climate condusive for all to live and enjoy the best of life from. We mustn't contribute to the problem but combact it collectively for the common good of all. Thanks so much for reading even as comments and contributions are welcomed.
