CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACT ON TRANSPORT

Introduction
Climate change is one of the mist concerning issues of the twenty first century. Earth is
considered to be the most unique planet in the solar system because of its ability to sustain all
forms of life within itself (Seidl et al., 2017). This is largely attributed to the elements of water
and the presence of atmosphere around the planet which makes it optimum for the existence of
such life. In this regard, there arises a need to protect this element of water and atmosphere so as
to ensure the continued prevalence of life forms within Earth.
However, as argued by Hajat et al. (2014), with the onset of industrialization, the issue of
climate change came to the fore front. The chemicals which were released in to the atmosphere
as a result of the various activities of the industries, proved to be harmful when they were not
treated properly. The selfish motives of the different nation states to modernize and develop
themselves with the aid of such process of industrialization, further aggravated the issue of air
pollution (Springmann et al., 2016).
Air pollution refers to the combined released of solid particles and gases within the
atmosphere of the planet (Rosenfeld et al., 2014). This prevents the proper exchange of life
supporting gases such as that of oxygen, thereby creating problems for human health and the
surrounding environment. There are variety of reasons which leads to the release of harmful
substances and gases in the atmosphere such as that of industrialization, burning of fossil fuels
and the increasing of transportation system which includes the use of petrol chemicals and other
life threatening chemicals (Smith et al., 2015).
The issue of climate change has affected the raised concerns all across the globe. The
change in the climate by even one degree affects the health of the living organisms in the sense
