An affectionate greeting dear readers of this prestigious platform, on this occasion I want to start a topic that seems to me of great importance to address, and make known to those who may be interested, as we know this society has suffered throughout the existence of mankind countless catastrophes worldwide, and we can also today realize the different and sudden climate changes that occur in the world and in turn have caused irreparable damage to civil society, vegetation and animal life.

Introduction

Taking into account the theme to be developed, it is important to highlight that a series of comparisons will be made that will define a set of concepts that will allow us to analyze the origin of the problems that have generated these abrupt changes in the entire ecosystem, in addition to the consequences and the impact it has caused on life and our natural environment.

Natural phenomena are all processes of change that originate in nature in a constant and spontaneous manner, without the need for human action. As opposed to natural disasters that are caused by human actions.

Among the types of natural phenomena we can highlight: Landslides caused by heavy rains. Hurricanes, which are tropical storms that cause very strong winds. El Niño phenomenon caused by oceanic warming. Volcanic eruptions They are produced from the interior of the earth with gases that come from the interior of volcanoes. Floods, tidal waves, forest fires or tsunamis. All these phenomena already existing on the planet are the cause of major disasters in the world with the help of man have multiplied drastically in recent years.

¿ What has caused these phenomena?

Mainly we can say that it has been due to the different climatic changes, which we can determine that are given by an increase in high or low temperatures throughout the planet. This effect causes the seas and oceans to heat up rapidly, producing an excessive increase of water vapor in the atmosphere and causing heavy rains and floods to be much deeper, while the high temperature of the oceans has caused tropical storms to be more accelerated.

¿What are these climate changes due to?

We can say that they are due to Global Warming, which is denominated as the main trigger that has changed the typologies of the climate around the planet, leaving in its wake factors that are determinant to accelerate the destruction of the world, since when the different phenomena occur they leave with pollution in the environment, which can be defined as a grouping of toxic substances and other physical waste in the place of the facts, which causes the same environment is not safe or suitable for their habitability.

Another way in which pollution can affect the environment is that it always causes a negative alteration of the natural aspect of the environment and, in general, it is caused as a consequence of human activity as a way of impacting the environment.

Progress and research

There is no doubt that today man has taken giant steps when it comes to technology that detects the acceleration with which all these phenomena that have changed the world are occurring, but in the same way it must be credited to the society that acts moving forward with their heroic actions but damaging and polluting the environment around us, the air we breathe, and even the food we harvest and then be consumed.

Research carried out by the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) has determined that in the last 50 years catastrophes caused by climate change have had a great increase compared to previous years, the impacts on nature and mainly on agriculture are devastating and have been reflected mainly in Southeast Asia as they are developing countries almost mostly dependent on agriculture, and as we know this depends entirely on a suitable climate for the proper growth of the same, so it produces a strong instability in its economy.

In addition, there is increasing evidence that we are approaching critical states of the system that provides protection for life on Earth, including damage to warm water reefs, the Amazon rainforest, the immense ice sheets of West Antarctica and the Antarctic. Given these impressive developments, we need to act quickly to raise awareness of the irreparable damage we have on our hands and for which we can still do much more than has already been done.

Beneficial aspects to avoid environmental contamination

In this sense I refer to a member that undoubtedly gave a significant contribution to the rest of the hand of man in nature, on that occasion I speak of the pandemic although we can say that it has only brought death, misfortune and ruin to society in addition to the large and small businessmen who were in need of closing the doors of their industries, misfortune and ruins to society as well as to large and small entrepreneurs who were forced to close the doors of their industries because until a moment we felt that everything almost everything at all was paralyzed, but it was that moment in which the pressure to get to work early, or the need to buy something nice for the party at night, or the supermarket queue to do the shopping was left behind in a heartbeat, and the pandemic was a great relief..

It was precisely at that moment that the fields were able to rest from the hard hand of man's work, the flowers finally breathing after a long time a pure and fresh air free of so much pollution caused by factories, smoke from vehicles, burning garbage, cutting down trees and many other tasks that man performs daily and that we know that produces serious damage to the ozone layer.

So we could say that after all, was the pandemic necessary? I do not know if it was necessary, I can only define that at the time it showed us the need for a moment of rest for nature and the planet in general, but it has not been enough to mitigate the different effects of human activity in the face of strong climate change and excessive global warming.

Consequences and recommendations finales

We can say as a final contribution that we must love more this precious environment that surrounds us, let us keep in mind that progress is incredibly good, but if that progress shortens the quality of life that we deserve, I do not know if it is worth living in a world full of scientific advances, I do not know if it is worth living in a world full of scientific, technological and more comfortable advances but on the other hand being devastated by catastrophes, population displacement, floods, loss of biodiversity, loss of crops, food shortages and famine of countless people, in civil society is the power to decide whether we continue to leave our beautiful planet under rubble or fight to build a better world.
