BREAKING :: Unfortunately for Indians the extreme heat is not over and it will just get worse in few days:An incoming potentially deadly #heatwave will see the temperatures soaring up to 46-47C in #India. Stay tuned.
The Earth is now in a period of rapid climate change, with global temperatures rising because of human activities, such as the burning of coal, oil and gas. #PlanetarySecurity#WeDontHaveTime#SupportRewilding
The greenhouse gases released by burning fossil fuels trap the Sun's energy, pushing up temperatures.
CO2 levels in the atmosphere have risen by about 50% since the 19th Century and by 12% in the past two decades.
Fossil fuels release particular types of carbon and the proportion of these has increased.
Another source of greenhouse gases is deforestation.
When trees are burned or chopped down, the carbon they normally store is released.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday predicted a fresh spell of heatwave conditions over parts of northwest and central India for three days, beginning Sunday. ⬇️
