According to NOAA, human influences are the leading cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide, methane, soot, and other pollutants that we emit into the atmosphere behave as a blanket, trapping the sun's heat and warming the globe. Since the 1960s, each decade has been hotter on average than the previous one.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) objective is to offer daily weather forecasts, severe storm alerts, climate monitoring, fisheries management, coastal restoration, and maritime commerce support.
The rising amount of droughts, severe storms, and floods caused by our warming environment poses dangers to both public health and public safety. Unchecked climate change promises a terrifying future, and it's too late to turn back the clock completely. Temperature increases, variability in rainfall, and drought are all signs of climate change in Nigeria. All of these will continue to have a severe impact on human life and ecosystems in Nigeria. Climate change occurs in different places, with significantly greater temperatures during the dry seasons.
While transformation must occur at the highest levels of government and business, your voice is also important. "We can avert a lot of the catastrophic repercussions that climate change would otherwise bring," argues Bill McKibba, president of the American Meteorological Society, by aggressively cutting our global emissions now.
The government should step up its efforts to plant trees. Trees can help lessen the effects of storms, loss, and the consequences of sea level rise on dwellings and processing sheds, particularly along Nigeria's coastline.
The government can drastically reduce the rise of climate issues that are severely affecting the nation by providing funding for initiatives to reduce poverty, supporting community-based organizations, establishing skill development centers, establishing or expanding community markets, and stepping up initiatives to promote skill acquisition and development for all stakeholders.
