What is global warming?

Water vapor, which consists of various gases in the atmosphere, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), CFC (chlorofluorocarbon), methane (CH4), diazotoxide (N2O), etc. The gases trap some of the heat falling on the earth from the sun's rays. Thus, it ensures that the earth is at a comfortable temperature for all biotic species. This feature of the atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. Due to excessive formation and accumulation of greenhouse gases, industrial and technological changes, excessive consumption of fossil fuels, intensive growth of population, standard of living and human activity, increase in the temperature of the troposphere layer. leads to contraction. Such a situation sets the stage for many life-threatening problems.

Global warming is a chain of disasters caused by a significant increase in the earth's temperature, forest fires, desertification, melting of glaciers, increased water, excessive precipitation and continuous formation of floods and excessive erosion. As a result of global warming, natural disasters lead to changes in the climate system.

The history of global warming

During glacial and interglacial periods in history, important ecological and climatic changes occurred, and some species of biotics became extinct, while others did. These events are completely influenced by the cycle and conditions of nature. After the transition to a regulated regime in the late Mesolithic, the climate was more or less the same until recently. However, about 30 years ago, it began to change rapidly. Evidence obtained through the science of paleoecology proves that the climate system is not at a constant level. This is not a natural process and develops entirely depending on human activity.

According to a study by the Ministry of Environmeit and Forestry, it contributes to energy use, industry, forest burning and destruction, agricultural activities and global warming.
. The poles and glaciers continue to melt. In the last 20 years, the sea level has risen by 20 cm.

2. The harmful effects of ultraviolet rays are eliminated by the ozone layer. However, gases like CFCs cause ozone depletion.

3. Climate change as a result of global warming;

Floods, erosion, landslides lead to an increase in such natural disasters. Global warming contributes to the warming of oceans and seas and the release of dissolved carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which leads to a decrease in the storage and capacity of water bodies. and environmental pollution increases as a result of meeting the increased demand. Life activities and needs such as drinking water, personal hygiene and house cleaning remain unsatisfied and environmental pollution reaches a stage. Desertification is widespread due to excessive temperature rise. nests will increase, epidemics will increase and become inevitable. The types of biological diversity in the world include extreme hot and cold living organisms. As a result of changing climate conditions, adaptive properties are shown, so the number and structure of chromosomes increase to mutations, and the genetic structure of many species changes. The temperature difference between night and night will gradually decrease. Atmospheric disasters (lightning, hurricane, hurricane, etc.) and acid rain will increase. Sudden climate change will make it difficult to achieve homeostasis in the human body, and diseases will increase. As a result of these events a person falls into a spiritual crisis and conflicts in the world increase.


Impact of global warming in Turkey

Due to the different topographical features of Turkey with its situation and complex climate. Therefore, it is affected by global warming. Different climates in different regions negatively affect the diversity and number of biotic species. This reduces natural water resources and creates a shortage of clean water.

Agricultural water scarcity increases salinity and aridity. Using more fertilizers and pesticides for higher yields leads to soil pollution. This condition is irreversible after a certain period of time and leads to life-limiting destruction.
