Essay Topic: To what extent is Climate Change a result of human activities?
Introduction
Climate change is defined as the adverse change that take place in environment on earth. It is the
long term change which take place due to change in the weather pattern of the global climate
(Tong and Ebi, 2019). It can be seen that human activities are also responsible for it. As the large
amount of carbon dioxide with various harmful gases available in the environment. The climate
change is known to be a main threat to the mankind, places, animals and species. There are
various reasons involved in it for instance human activities, forest fire, volcanic eruptions, floods
and many others. Due to which the biological balance of the earth will get affected and the
human will not be able to live a healthy life. The essay will outline the three main causes that
cause climate change in UK. According to Roger Harrabin (2021), UK is already suffering from
major climate change as the rainfall, sunshine and the temperature is getting increased (UK
already undergoing disruptive climate change).
Main Body
Three causes that lead to affect the climate change in UK
The climate change has a major impact on the earth, ecosystem, ecology and as the ocean level is
rising and the glaciers are also melting (Tang, 2019). It is also seen that many species, plants and
animals will soon get extinct. Ever since the evolution has taken place globally, the countries are
getting benefit from it and but it has also resulted into huge emission of the carbon dioxide gas
which is harmful for the environment. It can be seen that there are about various reasons which
are responsible for causing climate change such as some are man-made and some are natural
reasons. Human activity is the main cause for the climate change as people burn the fossil fuels
and they convert the land from forest to agriculture. Due to their greed and needs they adopt such
activities which causes harmful impact to the planet. Over the time, it is noticed that the
temperature is rising on the earth which is affecting humans, animals, wildlife and many other on
the earth (Owen, 2020). Additionally, human activities that is the gases released from various
plants, transportation and deforestation have also increased gases for example carbon dioxide,
CFCs, and added pollutants in the atmosphere of the earth. Due to human activities, the natural
processes got affected for instance volcanic eruptions and change in the energy of the sun. It can
be said that human activities have contributed in affecting the planet. Moreover, the human
