When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak and we all were locked in our homes people thought that we experienced something which we never expected. During lockdown factories were shut, no vehicles on the roads then burning of fossil fuels significantly went down and that too for several months. This led to clear rivers, clear air for a few months. People of Kathmandu in Nepal were able to see Mount Everest from the town after decades. Earlier the polluted air created a smog that prevented the view.
We realised how badly we have damaged mother earth. But as soon as the world re-opened all this progress was again down the hill. This is all due to a phenomenon which we are learning about since our childhood, i.e., Global Warming. We have exploited the environment, natural resources like soil, water and minerals for our gains. Filled river with pollutants to the extent that no life can exist in it and several other examples. Men have felt the impact severely due to which they take Cenforce Pills and Vidalista 20.

Results of Global Warming
We thought we can have a good time till eternity but as the saying goes, life comes to a full circle. Our exploitation of Nature is coming back to us as heavy as it can get in the forms of cyclones, pandemics, irregular climate etc. Every aspect of global warming is directly making us pay a heavy amount in terms of health. So, we must not underestimate by saying statements like “Nothing happens directly to us”.
This statement would have been alright 1 or 2 centuries because at that time we didn’t feel the damage directly. The climate was good, no extreme weather a perfect pattern of four seasons prevailed. But today after centuries of damage to the environment we have come to a situation where the ice bergs of Antarctica have melted at the fastest rate in history.
Instances of natural calamities due to global warming
Instances of heatwaves in Canada recently where the temperature suddenly peaked at more than 50 degrees Celsius for two days. The previous highest temperature of Canada never went more than 30 degrees Celsius. This led to people locking themselves in homes and cars with air conditions working at full capacity. The heatwave resulted in numerous fainting due to heatstroke and even deaths.
So, the problem is now not superficial but in front of our eyes. The above instance was Canada, this can next take place in any other nation. Let’s take the example of Saudi Arabia where no one expected to over witness a snowfall. But this year the residents of Saudi Arabia witnessed snowfall on deserts. Videos were viral where people were seen enjoying the snowfall but little did, they know that this is the sign of something catastrophic coming up. The events of forest fires have peaked to the extent that last year we saw two major forest fires, one in Australia and the other in Amazon.
Its effects on health
Due to an increase in the earth’s temperature the ozone layer is getting damaged. This will lead to a spike in skin diseases, allergies as the sunlight will directly fall on our body without getting filtered through the ozone layer. Air pollution has become a common issue for citizens of big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Beijing etc. This shows that development has occurred but at the expense of the environment. High air pollution levels have resulted in asthma in school going children and teenagers. Daily inhaling the polluted air affects the intelligence and thinking ability of the person. Such people show stunted growth and development of the body and the brain.
Infectious diseases are spreading much faster because due to the rise in the average temperature of the earth the temperature has become favourable for bacteria and viruses to breed. Hence, the chances of endemic, epidemic and pandemic rise despite vaccination as our immune system have never been this vulnerable ever before. Just take an example, our forefathers worked on fields, never lived in apartments, in air-conditioned rooms but still overcame disorders without much medical assistance. And today we are taking numerous vaccines, sanitisers and whatnot but still suffering from infections and allergies and becoming depressed.
What should be done?
- Use public transport instead of using personal vehicles. If possible then use a bicycle or go on walking. This is pollution-free and also burns calories hence it will prevent you from visiting Powpills for Fildena 150 medicines.
- Use renewable sources of energy like solar, wind and hydel power for consumption. And over time fully reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.
- Every human being should plant one sapling of any tree every month or any event. This will go down as a safety measure to rescue our earth from our own mistakes. Never think that nothing will happen if only we do the needful measures. Take the charge and move ahead, you may inspire people who may contribute more effectively.
