climate change is having some unexpected
impact around the world , from affecting
growth sex changes in animals, to
affecting the state of wine . climate
change is said to be the major reason
for these changes that we are witnessing.
showing the adverse effects, the change
in weather conditions also started
impacting air travel .making flights a
lot bumpier ,lightning strikes more
frequent.
let’s now take a look at some of the
major changes that are taking place due
to a warming planet.
the bearded dragon is a lizard , that’s
native to Australia and due to the
rising temperatures the sex of its
embryos is widely affected.
in fact according to the report, in
Smithsonian Magazine
when temperature in the nest rises above
32 degrees Celsius the eggs with male
sex chromosomes end up developing as
female , and the increase in female
population is a major concern among the
scientists, that the males could become
increasingly rare .as the temperatures
continue to rise and this could even
leave the entire species at risk of
Extinction . Australian lizards are not
the only ones that are facing the heat,
warmer temperatures are also not working
well for goats. goats residing in the
Italian Alps are shrinking beyond their
normal size .
Climate Change And It’s Outcome Watch Online
according to a report in
signs daily the Alpine mountain goat ,now
weighs an average of 25 percent less
than in the 1980s ,and this is a matter
of high concern because of their
shrinking weight, smaller goats will need
less food due to which these goats will
spend most of their time resting and
avoid overheating . eventually making
smaller goats more prone to a frozen
depth.
this year major wildfires from Spain’s
from Spain to California’s famous Napa
Valley destroyed Vineyards in many areas
and wine lovers surely know that heat is
never good for producing wine . being
sensitive to temperature grapes tend to
rot or fail to ripen, if the conditions
are not quite right.
due to the wildfires ,The Grapes somehow
survived the heat ,but the way the taste
changed did not go unnoticed. resulting
in increased alcohol content in wine the
heat is leading to a burning taste and
reducing quality . the flavors Aromas
according to a recent, study by 2050
climate change will lead to 73 percent
reduction of land areas around the world.
that are suitable for growing wine
because air circulation patterns are
becoming less predictable , because of
climate change . due to which air travel
has now become bumpier,
turbulence being and becoming the most
important cause of air accidents. the U.S
national Transportation safety board
reporting that due to the increase in
turbulence, 65 percent of the passengers
suffered injuries on airplanes.
another major consequence of climate
change is lightning . lightning strikes
hit the Earth around 8 million times a
day ,but that number could rise
significantly as global warming
continues to accelerate, in a study
conducted by inside climate news. it was
reported that climate change is making
the air warmer ,which then allows it to
hold more moisture both these factors
are responsible for increased on
thunderstorms.
for many people holidays in the snow are
a part of the celebrations ,towards the
end of the year alongside Christmas
trees and fireworks. as global warming
continues to make its presence felt,
Switzerland’s white slopes are becoming
increasingly rare now.
according to researchers at the
University of Basil , as global warming is
progressing Switzerland’s largest ski
resorts will remain snow reliable
with technical snow making by the year
2100.
calling the situation alarming,
glaciologists described the glacier’s
overall situation as extreme . according
to various study reports Switzerland
glaciers lose around two percent volume
annually.
but this year the glaciers have lost an
average of 6.2 percent of their eyes
with no guarantee of a White Christmas.
the use of technical snow can indeed
guarantee a hundred days key season in
the higher parts of the region.
but businesses are likely to be tied
during the Christmas holidays in coming
decades ,with the weather often not cold
enough to enjoy skiing.
most of the world’s Mountain Glaciers
are retreating due to climate change, but
those in the European Alps are suffering
the most.
skiing Alps are now warming at about 0.3
degrees Celsius a decade, which is twice
as fast in comparison to the global
average.
and to continue survival some ski
resorts,
resort to use water for snow making. a
maximum of 200 million liters can be
withdrawn annually for this purpose. if
climate change continues to increase
this source of water will last until the
middle of the century , because of which
new sources will have to be exploited
leading to extensive use of Natural
Resources.
