Burning Point: How The Rise in Temperature Redesigns and Lives

Earth gets hot - not philosophical, literally. New temperature records are determined annually. What used to be "unusual" weather is now common. Heat waves, forest fires, droughts, and storms are no longer isolated events - they are symptoms of a world under stress.

A Warm World.

Since the second half of the 19th century, the average surface temperature of the earth has increased by approximately 1.2°C (2.2°F). This sounds small, but it has no effect. Most of this warming has occurred over the past few years. The main cause is human activity - especially the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.

Complete these atmospheric fuels such as carbon dioxide (Co₂) and methane (Ch₄). These gases acquire warmth, just like blankets that heat the planet. This is known as the greenhouse effect. It is a natural process that is essential to life, but many of them create dangerous overheating. This country is drying out.

In parts of Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. Previous countries were once dry and counterproductive. Duren is longer and more serious. The rivers shrink, and farming becomes almost impossible. The entire community is being forced to leave the house. Because the state can no longer support them.

The soil becomes dry, the plants break down, and the water source disappears. As temperatures continue to rise, more areas become barren, dry, and threaten nutritional safety and livelihoods.

Melted ice and rising seas

The Arctic and Antarctic regions emit heat faster than the world average. It melts the glacier, removes the sea ice, and the permafrost thaws. All of this contributes to increased sea level.

Since 1900, the world's sea level has increased by more than 20 centimeters. If greenhouse gas emissions are not controlled, sea levels could rise up to 1 meter by the end of this century. This could threaten large coastal cities such as Dhaka, Jakarta and Miami and drive millions away.

Extreme weather phenomenon.

Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. Hurricanes become more powerful. Once seasonal bushfires have now been burning across a wide area for several months. Strong rainfall causes autumn flooding in unequipped cities.

These disasters are not just environmental but also economic and humanitarian crises. They destroy homes, wipe out infrastructure, and leave long-term psychological scars for the affected population.

Risk Health

The health effects of rising temperatures are severe. Heat waves cause thousands of deaths each year, especially among older, vulnerable people. Warm climate zones also expand disease choices, mosquito-free mosquitoes, and spread diseases such as malaria and dengue fever to new regions.

Furthermore, food shortages can lead to malnutrition through droughts and extreme weather. Contaminated water sources can lead to the spreading of water disease. Rising temperatures are increasingly recognized as a global health emergency.

Human and moral topics during climate change

It affects everything, and not all of them have an equal effect. The wealthy countries can afford to adapt to sea wall buildings, install air conditioning systems and import food. Older countries in the Global South in particular have the worst impact on the fewest resources.

This imbalance creates what many call "climate law." Those who contribute the least to the problem suffer the most. This is not just a scientific or ecological topic; it is a human rights issue.

Are you still looking for something?

Yes. There's still time to act, but the windows close quickly. Governments need to take strong measures to reduce emissions and invest in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. International cooperation is important to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

People also play a role. Together, reducing meat consumption, conserving energy, using public transport, and supporting sustainable businesses can make a difference.

Changes are not made overnight, but every step is important. The goal is to slow down damage, adapt to unstoppable things, and prevent worst outcomes.

Final Thoughts

The climate crisis is real, and it's happening now. But the future is not yet written. What happens next depends on today's decisions. Rising temperatures are not just about the environment, but also about people, justice, survival, and responsibility.

It's time to act. Not tomorrow, not someday - now.
