Dear Dr.Drlatief Ahmad , it is because climate change is one of the biggest treats of the 21st century for this globe. And I totally agree with the prevouse responses of RG collegues.
Impact of climate change on health is ‘the major threat of 21st century’. The health of millions of people across the world is already being significantly harmed by climate change.
Sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate.
Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods WWF works to protect. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which we are already experiencing. WWF works to:
- advance policies to fight climate change
- engage with businesses to reduce carbon emissions
- help people and nature adapt to a changing climate
Global warming is already having significant and costly effects on our communities, our health, and our climate.
Unless we take immediate action to reduce global warming emissions, these impacts will continue to intensify, grow ever more costly and damaging, and increasingly affect the entire planet — including you, your community, and your family.

Dear Friend,
Please have a look at these useful ResearchGate links.

Good luck!
It's a serious problem because it has a bad influence on the life on the earth. What can do to limit this influence, this question is the subject of the program of the majority of the industrial country and the research lab. But ht real problem why this effort has a limit results? I think it's related to economic fields.
It is extremely dangerous because even our continuous existence as man on this planet depends on what we are doing either to aggravate or ameliorate it. it is not restricted to a country or region but it is a global phenomenon and all of us must work towards averting its dangers
Because it has affected human life. The temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation has changed. For this reason, water resources have been seriously challenged. In order to reduce the negative impacts of climate change, humans need to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But some politicians and factory owners still do not accept climate change. Because their interests are at stake. The international community has not yet provided training to all people in the world. It seems that a drastic decision needed.
Climate change is the greatest environmental threat humanity has ever faced and the biggest challenge. It is caused by the build up of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels and the destruction of areas that store massive amounts of carbon like the world’s rain forests.
No one knows how much warming is “safe” but we know that climate change is already harming people and ecosystems around the globe.
As we burn up the planet’s coal, oil and gas supplies and destroy vast areas of forests and peat lands, greenhouse gases are pouring into the atmosphere and disrupting the delicate balance of gases that sustains life on our planet. This is changing our world and having devastating impacts on people and environments.
The overwhelming majority of climate scientists all agree on this – the rising global temperatures we’ve recently experienced are down to human activity.
CC will affect the ant colonies of human settlements, e.g. insurance companies will not give you contracts for real estate in cities, which the ocean level can reach, take Hamburg, Amsterdam or London. The positive effect of CC is that insurance companies are the best indicators of CC risk. An additonal aspect might be the prophecy of Nostradamus: the North will be full of citrus and orange trees. For Russia, the transition of the permafrost frontier will have positive results on agriculture.
Sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate.
1. Rising seas and increased coastal flooding.
2. Longer and more damaging wildfire seasons
3. More destructive hurricanes
4. More frequent and intense heat waves
5. Widespread forest death in the Rocky Mountains
6. Costly and growing health impacts
7. An increase in extreme weather events
8. Heavier precipitation and flooding
9. More severe droughts in some areas
10. Increased pressure on groundwater supplies
11. Growing risks to our electricity supply
12. Changing seasons
13. Melting ice
14. Disruptions to food supplies
15. Destruction of coral reefs
16. Plant and animal range shifts
17. The potential for abrupt climate change
The first cause of global warming is burning natural resources instead of using free endless natural energies ( called renewable energies?). The global warming is even enhanced by the consumer-economy wich objective is to increase consumer spending to support the economic growth. To reach this goal, the target of marketing and advertisements is to make us wrongly link happiness to comfort and pleasures. As a consequence; people become impulse buyers instead of buying only what they need. Overconsumption leads to over global energy consumption. Finally overburing of natural resources and carbon dioxide emissions. The challenge of the humanity today is to give back to happiness its real definition away from consumption. Minimalist life is a very good option to spend less and save more time and money. In reality comfort leads to laziness. It is discomfort that leads to guenine hapiness. The last and not the least, it is scientifically proven that charity makes people happy.

We considered it serious for the fear of unknown because will don't know what becomes of man after it happens.
About climate change, I want to share one specific angle. The temperature over land will increase faster than that over ocean when global becomes warmer and warmer, because of their different specific heat capacity. The water demand over land will also increase faster than the actual water supply (or evaporation over ocean). This means that even we get more precipitation in the warming future, we may still expect enhanced aridity over many regions. And that will be a serious problem for the arid and semi-arid areas, where ecosystem is fragile. Some studies believe that 2 degrees Celsius warming is destructive and irreversible for some ecosystem.
Here THE expert report by the United Nations on the impact of Climate Change
http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg2/
It's well understood, because biological life on earth is totally depends upon climate change.
Climate change is so very important because it is the one single factor that affects the entire life on earth, for animals including humans and plants, both on land and in the sea. Even diseases are related to it, irrespective of advancement of technology in developed and undeveloped countries.

From our health to our wallets, we’re witnessing the effects of a world transformed by rising temperatures and changing climate patterns. And we can mitigate this changing climate by reducing the release of greenhouse gas emissions that are warming our planet.
Ken,
Jim Hansen explains here what we should do about climate change: www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2018/20180627_BostonGlobeOpinion.pdf
Dr Latief Ahmad,
There is a paper published last week which explains the danger of AGW, described here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-45084144
The paper is Stefan et al (2018) "Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene" available here: www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/07/31/1810141115
