‘Global Boiling’ A Sign of Human-Made Crisis

Global Boiling is a phenomenon that our world is facing, which means an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s surface due to human actions that emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The temperature rise has resulted in significant changes in the ecosystem and climate around the world, causing many problems that are harmful to life and the environment. In summer, Thailand’s highest daily temperature could exceed 40 degrees.

The causes of Global Boiling

Greenhouse gases emission: Important greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) are the main causes of global warming. These gases are emitted from activities such as Fossil fuels burning (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, agriculture, and livestock.
Land use changes: Deforestation reduces trees that adsorb carbon dioxide increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In addition, changing land for agricultural or urban development also results in CO2 emissions.
The use of unclean energy: The use of energy from fossil sources is mainly for electric power generation and transportation, causing a large amount of greenhouse gas to be released into the atmosphere.

The Impact of Global Boiling

Sea Level Rise: The melting of polar ice and glaciers has resulted in another unprecedented rise in sea levels. Ocean and sea temperatures are the highest and hottest recorded as well as evidence of increased surface and surface heat, the record-breaking arrival is not surprising.
Climate change: Global warming causes climate change, such as more severe storms in many areas, noticeable overheating, and drought, affecting agriculture and food safety, whether on land or in water sources, including seafood, or the lack of seasonal rain, affecting farming, fishing, and livestock. In the long run, this may cause food shortages and higher prices.
Ecosystem impact: Temperature changes affect animals and plants, especially organisms that are sensitive to temperature changes, such as marine animals living in coral reefs, which may become extinct or relocate.
Impact on human health: Increased heat and worsening air quality can cause health problems such as respiratory diseases, heat diseases, and the spread of insect diseases.

Global Boiling that can be seen around the world

Three obvious examples of events are:

The Melting of Ice Sheets in the North Pole

The impact of global average temperature increases causes the melting of ice sheets, increasing the risk of flooding in coastal areas and small islands. It also affects the ecosystem of polar animals such as polar bears and seals.

Wildfire in Australia

During the summer of 2019-2020, Australia experienced a huge forest fire known as “Smoke Forest Fire” or “Bushfires” that spread rapidly and were extremely violent. This forest fire destroyed millions of hectares of forest area, killing many wild animals and affecting air quality in the wide area, including the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Expansion of the Sahara Desert

The Sahara Desert in Africa has expanded to what used to be agricultural and forestry areas, affecting agriculture and communities living in destroyed areas. The decline in green areas has caused water shortages and soil degradation, which has greatly affected the ability to grow crops and the livelihoods of people in and nearby areas.

Preventions

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Energy consumption from clean sources such as solar, wind, or hydrogen can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, increasing energy efficiency in buildings and transportation is an important way to reduce emissions.
Forest conservation and ecological restoration: Planting forests and protecting existing forests to helps absorb carbon dioxide and preserve biodiversity.
Adaptation and preparation: Strategies Development on adapting to climate change, such as developing heat-resistant farmland and building infrastructure that can withstand natural disasters.
Promotion of public education and global collaboration: Raising awareness of global warming and supporting the collaboration of global organizations or governments, both in the business sector and in the public, is crucial to address this problem.

Global Boiling is a global problem that requires urgent, collaborative action from all sectors. Awareness and collaboration to reduce the impact of climate change is key to maintaining an ecological balance and creating a sustainable future for our planet.
