Global Warming and its Impact on UK

This article discusses the concept of global warming and its impact on the climate system of the UK. It explores the rise in greenhouse gases, the effects on aquatic animals, and the increase in temperature. The article also mentions the government's efforts to mitigate global warming and the actions taken in Scotland to reduce carbon emissions.

MAIN BODY
Global warming
As per the journals and books, Global warming is basically long-term rise within the
average temperature of the climate system of earth (Harvey, 2018). This is one of the major
aspect which has affected the climatic conditions to a great extent and thus have resulted in the
emission of wide range of greenhouse gases as well as numerous other air pollutants (Nawaz,
Sharif and Rehman, 2019).
According to books and Journals, This global warming has surrounded UK from past few
years and thus have posed a great impact on the lives of human beings and animals (Philander,
2018). Global warming has always been a major concern for UK that has revolutionized the
overall human activities and has presented a catastrophic effect on entire planet (Joshi and
et.al.,2017).
According to journals and books, Global warming has affected UK in the highly negative
way and in the year 2019, the average temperature was recorded to be around 0.8 degree Celsius
in most of the nations of UK leading to the rise of carbon di oxide within the environment (Baer
and Singer, 2016). Besides this, Due to the changes in the climatic conditions within UK, there
has been a great increase and rise in greenhouse gases which has affects the lives of people and
other animals in a great way (Summerhayes and Zalasiewicz, 2018).
This increasing global warming has become a threat of most of the aquatic animals and
thus have resulted in the loss of their lives as when the carbon di oxide enters the sea of river
then these aquatic animals generally consumes them (Smith and et.al.,2018). This results in their
death (Gray, 2016).
According to the newspaper article published in The Telegraph on 4th march 2020, the
global warming in Wales as well as England has increased from around 34.6% to more than
89.6% and there has nearly 400000 death which has been reported due to the change in climatic
conditions (Greta Thunberg embarrasses EU by savaging bloc's new climate law, 2020).
According to the news of BBC, in the year 2018 various cities in UK has been under the
threat of global warming and has resulted in the rise of temperature to around 54.7% (Climate
change,2018). In England, the greenhouse gas emission was recorded to be around 45.6% as per
this newspaper and this was a great increase from the previous years (Fernandes and et.al.,2017).

According to the another newspaper article which was published in The Times on Feb
2020, the government of UK has established the various legislation as well as rules for mitigating
the effects of global warming (Climate change, 2020). There has been new EU laws for cutting
and driving down the carbon emission to net zero by the end of the 2050.
The article published in Science daily on 27 February 2020 claimed that the there has
been a rise in the average temperature in UK due to Inland Antarctic ice as this ice generally
contains a great volume of the water which can further rise the global levels to several meters
(Global Warming News,2020).
According to another article published in BBC news, the climatic change in Scotland has
affected agriculture. The committee upon climatic change have decided to take the actions for
progressing within areas of agriculture (Calls to speed up climate change action in
agriculture,2020). Scotland has continued to lead UK for reducing the emission of carbon di
oxide and other harmful pollutants.
