This is the time to adopt counter-measures, to prevent a global climate change.
@M. Ramachandra, yes we did it! Men forced such changes, but this fact is frightening me that 90 companies did "Two-Thirds of Man-Made Global Warming Emissions", link follows!
The main culprit of climate change is human-induced changes in the atmospheric composition. These primarily result from emissions due to energy use. Changes in urbanisation and land use are also important factors affecting climate change.
Although there has been progress in understanding the climate change, there are many scientific, technical and institutional impediments that need planning and adaptation to mitigate the affects of the climate change.
There is still great uncertainty in how the climate will change in the future, but it is clear that these changes will manifest in important and tangible ways, such as extreme temperatures and precipitation, decrease in seasonal and perennial snow and ice extent, and rise in sea level.
Anthropogenic climate change is now likely to continue for many centuries. It is imperative to consider nature-based solutions involving good conservation methods and natural resource management. It will provide a tangible and cost-effective response to climate change and other global challenges.
Climate change mitigation offers various solutions such as reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and promotes conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks, renewable energy technologies, sustainable agriculture techniques, energy consumption, land use, land-use change, water safety, reforestation and early warning systems to protect against floods.
Last but not least, there is need to support enabling activities and capacity-building.
These are all essential strategies to mitigate climate change. However, they are unlikely to succeed unless they put nature at their heart.
@ Mohan. Intresting you suggest that anthropogenic footprint is accelerating global climate change, but your statement is a clear indicator that without anthropogenic input also global climate is changing humans are accelerating the process. In this case do you believe that mitigation measure can reverse the trends, if so I not very confident.
@M. Ramachandra, yes we did it! Men forced such changes, but this fact is frightening me that 90 companies did "Two-Thirds of Man-Made Global Warming Emissions", link follows!
If Two-Thirds of Man-Made Global Warming Emissions than what are the counter-measures adopt to prevent a global climate change.
Yes, we have given our "contribution" to accelerate the global climate crisis arising in the near future and TODAY...! Here are the consequences in my country! :(
