MAJOR SECTORS CONTRIBUTION FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

Electricity and heat 30.6% - use of fossil fuel or Burning of fossil fuels for electricity and
heat is, by far, the main driver of climate change. Emissions from those sectors account for
nearly a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the These activities are the
biggest climate villains, statistically speaking.

14.8% - Transportation -- driving, flying and so forth - makes up about 15% of worldwide
climate change pollution, as per 2012 information combined by WRI It's the second-most
important cause for dangerous global warming.

Manufacturing and construction: 13.3% - manufacturing and construction are less

regularly talked about than transit, however they contribute almost as much to climate
change: 13.3% of emanations, WRI says. These exercises are the third-greatest supporters of
heat-trapping emissions.

Agriculture: 11.1% - Likewise, our food systems are villains in the fight against climate
change. Advocates say giving up meat, especially beef, would help curb greenhouse gases.
Agriculture makes up 11.1% of global emissions, according to WRI.

Other fuel combustion: 8.2% - Burning different kinds of fuel, including wood, represents
8.2% of outflows. Additionally incorporated into this class are powers consumed in business
and private structures, and also consuming fuel for horticulture and remote ocean angling.
Industrial process 5.8%- Industry includes 5.8% of worldwide carbon and ozone depleting
substance outflows, as indicated by WRI. Bond and aluminium generation, appeared here, are
among the real supporters.

Deforestation and land use changes: 5.7% - forest trap carbon, so cleaving down
rainforests contributes significantly to the climate change issue. Assessments differ, yet WRI
says deforestation represents 5.7% of outflows connected to climatel change. Different
assessments put the number more like 20%.

Fugitive emissions: 5.3% - Gas flares, and other emissions associated with energy
production, create about 5.3% of greenhouse gas emissions

Waste: 3.1% - Landfills produce methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. Our waste
systems create 3.1% of global warming pollution, according to WRI.

Bunker fuels: 2.2% - A few emanations can't be attached to a specific nation. These "bunker
fules," in industry-speak, incorporate ships in universal waters and additionally worldwide
flights, as per the World Resources Institute. They represent 2.2% of environmental change
emanations.

Causes of Climate Change

Includes natural changes (cyclic variability, volcanic eruptions, solar output) and human-
caused changes (due to GHG emissions and land use changes)
Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil
fuels, cutting down rainforests and farming livestock.
This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the
atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Greenhouse gases
“Some gases in the Earth's atmosphere act a bit like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the
sun's heat and stopping it from leaking back into space.
Many of these gases occur naturally, but human activity is increasing the concentrations of
some of them in the atmosphere, in particular:
carbon dioxide (CO2)
methane
nitrous oxide
fluorinated gases
CO2 is the greenhouse gas most commonly produced by human activities and it is
responsible for 64% of man-made global warming. Its concentration in the atmosphere is
currently 40% higher than it was when industrialisation began.
Other greenhouse gases are emitted in smaller quantities, but they trap heat far more
effectively than CO2, and in some cases are thousands of times stronger. Methane is
responsible for 17% of man-made global warming, nitrous oxide for 6%.

From the above graph we get to know the average carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere.
The amount of carbon dioxide is another factor that contributes hugely to global climate
change which is caused through activities or act done by human activities and by natural
disaster, and mainly by humans such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels, volcanic
eruptions, theses are the factors which contribute in rise in leve of carbon dioxide . Average
carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere at present is 407.61 ppm.
The above graph shows the top 10 country which contribution towards carbon dioxide
emissions , in the table China stands first and followed by United States and India”
Causes for rising emissions
Burning coal, oil and gas produces carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
Cutting down forests (deforestation). Trees help to regulate the climate by absorbing CO2
from the atmosphere. So when they are cut down, that beneficial effect is lost and the carbon
stored in the trees is released into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse effect.
Expanding domesticated animals cultivating. Bovines and sheep deliver a lot of methane
when they process their nourishment.
Composts containing nitrogen deliver nitrous oxide emanations.
Fluorinated gases deliver an extremely solid warming impact, up to 23 000 times more
noteworthy than CO2. Gratefully these are discharged in littler amounts and are being staged
around EU control.
Global warming
TThe current global average temperature is 0.85ºC higher than it was in the late 19th century.
Each of the past three decades has been warmer than any preceding decade since records
began in 1850.
The world's leading climate scientists think human activities are almost certainly the main
cause of the warming observed since the middle of the 20th century.
An increase of 2°C contrasted with the temperature in pre-mechanical circumstances is seen
by researchers as the edge past which there is a significantly higher hazard that risky and
perhaps calamitous changes in the worldwide condition will happen. Hence, the worldwide
group has perceived the need to continue warming underneath 2°C.

The effects of climate change

Climate change has evident effects on ecosystems and people. Here’s a list of the climate
change phenomena we’re already experiencing first-hand.
Ice melting
A standout amongst the most clear outcomes is dissolving ice – the softening of the
cryosphere, those bits of Earth's surface where water is in strong shape, including ice tops, ice
sheets, and permafrost (those territories where soil is forever solidified). As per forecasts,
Arctic ice could totally liquefy amid the most smoking times of the year before the century's
over. The cryosphere normally assumes a significant part in the worldwide atmosphere
framework and an adjustment in its augmentation could cause an adjustment in the
framework itself. Delicate biological communities like seas, mountains and wetlands could
be harmed forever.
Sea level rise
Dissolving ice tops in Antarctica and Greenland have doubtlessly driven ocean level to
ascend by 3.1 millimeters for each year in the vicinity of 1993 and 2003, as indicated by
IPCC. The ascent is relied upon to achieve 15 to 95 centimeters by 2100.
Ocean acidification
Expanded levels of CO2 in the air will likewise prompt sea fermentation, making hopeless
harm marine biological systems – like the Great Barrier Reef that is an UNESCO legacy site
as it is home to more than "400 sorts of coral, 1,500 types of fish and 4,000 kinds of mollusc.
It likewise holds extraordinary logical enthusiasm as the natural surroundings of species, for
example, the dugong and the vast green turtle, which are undermined with elimination".
Proficient administrations firm Deloitte evaluated the financial estimation of this fortune: 56
billion Australian dollars, and 64,000 employments.
Desertification
Desertification (and, thus, heat waves) will grow to zones that right now gloat a calm
atmosphere, for example, the zones north and south of the Sahara betray, including the
Mediterranean nations, making extreme harm horticulture. Harvests will altogether drop
while an ever increasing number of individuals will confront undernourishment. Specifically,
yields from maize and wheat harvests could drop by 50 for every penny throughout the
following 35 years because of a dangerous atmospheric devotion. It's a hazard that must be
kept considering that individuals experiencing hunger are as of now marginally diminishing.
The investigation State of Food Insecurity in the World 2015 directed by the International
Fund for Agricultural improvement (IFAD) and the World Food Program (WFP) gauges that
about 795 million individuals don't eat enough sustenance. They added up to 1 billion of
every 1990-1992.
Occasions like El Niño – a variety in the southern swaying that causes noteworthy changes in
atmosphere including sea tempests, storms, flooding in Central America and serious dry
season connected to fierce blazes in western Pacific territories – will be more continuous and
extreme causing setbacks and monetary misfortune. This could prompt the upheaval of
ailments, similar to intestinal sickness, in regions already unaffected.

Biodiversity loss
It's because of environmental change, as well as a result of humankind, that the Earth is
confronting a constant mass elimination, the 6th, bringing about a critical drop in our Planet's
biodiversity. Species eradication rate is to a great degree high and a large portion of the living
species could wind up wiped out before the century's over. This biodiversity misfortune has
"grave and extensive ramifications for human prosperity," said John Knox, a human rights
master and teacher of worldwide law at Wake Forest University. Knox is likewise an UN
Special Rapporteur on condition and human rights and the creator of the primary report of the
United Nations that perceives that sound biodiverse biological systems are fundamental for
human rights. As it occurs with desertification, biodiversity misfortune – specifically of plant
species – could back off sickness control and increment the spreading of irresistible and
immune system infections.
