Global Climate Change - Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability

Climate change means change of climate that is ascribe to directly or indirectly to human
activity, reshaping the proportion of global atmosphere. Global climate change is hot issue
since mid 19th century. It is differ in meteorological condition of a region or globe or climate
contrast than normal condition within context of time. Climate change, used as a noun, became
an issue rather than the technical description of changing weather. In 1966, the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) proposed the term "climatic change" to encompass all
forms of climatic variability on time-scales longer than 10 years, regardless of cause. The major
causing factor of climate change is human rather than natural process such as increase in CFCs
(Choro-Floro Carbon) and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) directly impact on climate change.

Climate change has significant impact in ecosystem, economies and communities. Rise in
temperature doesnt simply mean warm winter. But some region faces extreme hot climate
while other may cool slightly. Extremely hot or cold climate, drought or flood, melting of ice
of Himalayas or increase in desert temperature are some impacts due to climate change. Violent
storms and other extreme weather events could also result from the increased energy stored in
our warming atmosphere. The major impact of climate change is on water resource throughout
the world. There is significant rise in sea level due to high ratio of melting of ice and snow in
Himalayas. Water is intimately tied to other resource and social issues such as food supply,
health, industry, transportation and ecosystem integrity.
The impact of climate has already been observed in Canadas diverse climatic region. The
Canadas forest is said to be most venerable due to climate change which supports countless
number of rare ecosystem and food chain. Due to climate change some species are endangered
and some are already extinct from Earth due to disturbance of food chain and ecosystem. The
global meltdown of ice sheets and alpine glaciers represents another, taking an immense toll
on Arctic ecosystems.
The world's leading scientists report that to prevent dangerous levels of global warming
governments should act to limit global warming to less than 2C by taking concerted action to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in Earths temperature by 2C is alarming issue to
human causing saver diseases to children throughout the globe.
Climate change adaptation is a response to global warming and climate change, that seeks
to reduce the vulnerability of social and biological systems to relatively sudden change and
thus offset the effects of global warming. There are two main policy responsible to climate
change; mitigation and adaption. Mitigation addresses the root causes, by reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, while adaptation seeks to lower the risks posed by the consequences of climatic
changes. Both approaches will be necessary, because even if emissions are dramatically
decreased in the next decade, adaptation will still be needed to deal with the global changes
that have already been set in motion.
Adaptation measures may be planned or put in place spontaneously in response to a local
pressure. They include large-scale infrastructure changes such as building defences to protect
against sea-level rise or improving the quality of road surfaces to withstand hotter temperatures
 as well behavioural shifts such as individuals using less water, farmers planting different
crops and more households and businesses buying flood insurance. Low-income countries tend
to be more vulnerable to climate risks and some adaptation measures such as increasing
access to education and health facilities will overlap with existing development programmes.
But adaptation goes beyond just development to include measures to address additional risks
specifically caused by climate change.
