Project on Effect of climate on Kuwait economics 2
Introduction -
Climate change refer as change in regional or global climate patterns, change which is
apparent from mid -century to late 20th century onwards and to increased level of atmospheric
carbon dioxide. It is the abnormal change or variation to the climate and due to these
variation, it effect on earth (Romm, 2016). In other words, Climate change or global warming
means to increase in average temperatures on Earth. As per the report average temperature is
15C (BBC News, 2018). Climate has continuously been changing over the period of time. It
is measured by realising in pattern of variation in humidity, atmosphere, sea, environment,
temperature, weather and other variables. Change in Earth’s climate is also called climate
change (What Is Climate Change, 2014). Climate change occurs due to the various factors
such as variation in solar radiation, processes of biotic and plate tectonics. Before 20th century
climate change is caused by increasing temperatures and this change is called global
warming. Factors that can change climate are called forcing mechanisms and climate forcing
and these forcing can be either internal or external forcing.
Main cause of climate change is to the use of fossil fuel by humans because it increases
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. So, these gases will effect on ecosystem or
economy of any country when it heat within atmosphere (Emanuel, 2018). It also impact on
rising sea level, weather and environment. There are also other causes of climate change such
as deforestation and agriculture. These gases are critical part of Earth’s temperature control
system. 10000 year ago, CO2 did not increase above 300 parts per million but today it is at
400 parts per million. The report consists of effect of climate change on Kuwait economics
and human, methods for measuring climate change and various problems and solutions due to
climate change or global warming (Herman and HQ, 2018).
Climate Change –
Climate change refers as change or variation in temperature of earth, sea, weather and
environment due to the carbon dioxide gas and effects of greenhouse gas in atmosphere.
Main reason behind happening of climate change is due to human activities related to burning
of fossil fuel or oil (Elver and Wapner, 2016). As per the measurement, average temperature
is increasing from 14C to 15C. This change in atmosphere has been different; it means it has
been lesser over oceans than over the land and greatest in the Arctic. But this change is
happening after long period of time or after years; it does not increase or decrease every year.

Due to climate change, many other changes are occurred in the climate along with warming
such as change in oceans as rising in temperature at Earth’s surface also effect rising the
temperature in oceans, level of sea is also rising because of increasing in temperature at
Earth’s surface and weather is also change as more damaging weather events are occurred.
Climate change or global warming is also caused of heavy rainfall and damaging weather
(Kiehl, J. 2016).
Following are the causes of climate change: Human activity is the main cause of climate
change. These are (Lober, 2019)
 Burning fossil fuel: When human burning fossil fuel and oil and transform land from
forest to agriculture purpose. So, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas in
atmosphere, and also produces greenhouse gas. This gas is called greenhouse gas
because it occur greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide stays in atmosphere for longer
period of time as compare to other greenhouse gas such as nitrous oxide, this gas
produce only short term effect on the atmosphere (McNall, 2012).
 Industrialization: It is also cause of climate change or global warming because of
transforming the economics from farming based to industrial based. Researchers
agree that industrial revolution is also cause of global warming.
 Deforestation: Human harvest wood for making residential house or paper. So, it
produce huge gas of carbon dioxide because forest store huge amount of carbon.
Deforestation reduces biodiversity which can affect whole ecosystem and earth.
 Livestock production: Production of livestock by human also cause of climate change
in atmosphere. Forest are also used for the feeding and care of animals for food, so
these animals produces methane and greenhouse gas due to huge amount of wastage
by animals.
 Factory Farming: Factory farming can also have negative effect on global warming
by increasing carbon dioxide gas or harmful greenhouse effects in the atmosphere
(Desonie, 2009).
Problems/effects of the climate change –
Climate change and global warming gradual heating of ocean, Earth’s surface and
atmosphere due to the human activities, carbon dioxide and harmful greenhouse gases. So, it
effects on overall ecosystem because of the following reasons (Pappas and Bradford, 2017):
