CLIMATE CHANGE1
Introduction:
Climate change is one of the most important and burning issue of the present times.
All the nations are including the approaches and strategies to fight and deal with climate
change. The concept of climate change refers to the long term changes in the weather of a
particular region. The climate change is the major reason for global warming, rather these
two terms can be used interchangeably. When the climate of all the regions of the world are
on the rise, then it becomes global warming. On the other hand, the major impact of global
warming is climate change. Climate change refers to the changes in the weather pattern as
well, since it not only refers to the increase of the temperature of a particular region (Rogelj
et al. 2016). The reasons for the changes in the climate can be reasoned by a number of
factors however, but presently, the major reason contributing to the changes in the weather
patterns and the rise of the temperature, is the huge production of carbon- di- oxide and other
elements of carbon. The changes in the weather pattern is been observed by the
environmentalists since the late 19th century, and the climate change that the whole world is
facing today is a result of this long term effect of carbon emission. It had taken scientists a
long time to understand the impact of global warming and it is taking even more time for the
environmentalists to develop and spread awareness among the people of the significance and
the impacts of global warming. Very recently, in 2016, for the Paris Agreement various
countries from all around the world were invited and they were given a proper guideline of
the Do’s and Don’ts that should be implemented and practiced by all the nations in order to
deal with the aspects of climate change (Savaresi. 2016). Two temperature limits and their
impacts have also been mentioned in this particular agreement.

1.5°C and 2°C limits:
The aim of the agreement was to ensure the understanding of all the nations regarding
the changing climate and to strengthen the global response regarding the same. In this
endeavour two temperature limits had been provided and their impacts and significance had
been discussed. These two limits are the 1.5°C and 2°C. These limits are the guidelines for
the nations, ensuring how much degree of temperature increase can be less endangering. The
2°C limit was given to the nations lying well below the pre- industrial level societies. Since
they are involved in less amount of industrial activities therefore, their contribution to the
climate change to global warming is more than the countries lying above the pre- industrial
levels, and for this second category, the limit is, 1.5°C (Hulme. 2016). Since, they are
involved into more industrial activities, therefore, they must ensure that the temperature rise
is not more than the said limit. The basic notion of this limiting the temperature rise concept
is, it is impossible to ask the nations to limit their energy consumption and ensuring no
temperature rise, therefore, the guideline will provide the countries and option to change their
habits and grow a consciousness and thus, gradually, limiting their consumption of energy,
and grow an awareness and consciousness among the population of each of the nations.
Winners:
The impacts of the changes in the climate and the impacts of these two limits of
temperature, have been kept, while considering the GMT increase. The impacts are assessed
by considering the GMT and also observing the temperature increase since the 1850s. The
increase of the hot extremes have fixed thresholds and the increase in the temperature
involves a non- linear process. The scientists have observed that the impact of the increase in
the temperature for 2°C is double than the 1.5°C, and is almost 27 times higher than the pre-
industrial level societies.
