What is climate change?

Climate change pertains to the alteration of temperatures and weather patterns over an extended period. While some of these changes occur naturally, it is important to note that human activities have been the primary catalyst for climate change since the 1800s. This is primarily attributed to the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, which release heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.

Reasons for Climate change

• The combustion of fossil fuels results in the production of greenhouse gas emissions, which function as a protective layer enveloping the Earth.
• This layer traps the heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures. Carbon dioxide and methane are the primary greenhouse gases responsible for climate change.
• They are released through activities such as driving cars using gasoline or heating buildings with coal.
• Additionally, deforestation and land clearance can also contribute to the release of carbon dioxide.
• Methane emissions primarily originate from agriculture, oil, and gas operations. The main sectors contributing to greenhouse gas emissions include energy, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture, and land use.

Who is responsible for climate change

Climate scientists have unequivocally demonstrated that human activities are the primary cause of the alarming global warming observed over the past two centuries. Through various human endeavors, such as those mentioned earlier, greenhouse gas emissions have surged, resulting in a rapid and unprecedented warming of our planet.

The Earth's surface temperature has surged by approximately 1.1°C since the late 1800s, surpassing any recorded warmth in the past 100,000 years. The previous decade, from 2011 to 2020, stands as the hottest on record, with each successive decade since 1850 surpassing the preceding one in terms of warmth.

While many associate climate change solely with rising temperatures, it is merely the tip of the iceberg. As the Earth functions as an intricate system, alterations in one aspect can reverberate across all others. Thus, changes in temperature can trigger a cascade of consequences, including but not limited to severe droughts, water scarcity, devastating fires, escalating sea levels, widespread flooding, polar ice melting, violent storms, and a distressing

 

Ways to Prevent Climate change

Using Electrical Vehicle

Using of solar panels instead of coal

 

What is Electric vehicles 

Any vehicle which is run by power instead of non renewable resource 

What is renewable and non renewable resources

Renewable	Non renewable
a Anything that is given nature	a It is also given by nature
b available large quantity	b available in limited quantity
c Does not cause pollution	c Cause Pollution
Ex Solar, Hydro and wind energies	Ex Petrol, diesel, coal etc

 

Do we need to shift to Electric Vehicle?

Yes it very much necessary as pollution is increasing day by day to reduce harmful effects of vehicular air pollution is best option to shift to electric vehicles and protect our health.

Advantages of Electric Vehicles 

·        Lower running cost

·        Low maintenance cost

·        Tax beneficial benefits

·        Better performance

·        Zero emission

·        Easy drive and silent vehicle

·        No fuel required

·        Spacious cabin and more storage

·        They are our future

·        Convenience of charging at home.

1.  Lower running cost 

  By eliminating the need to purchase petrol or diesel to power your electric vehicle, you can significantly decrease your fuel expenses. Charging an electric vehicle is considerably cheaper than refueling with petrol or diesel. Additionally, you have the opportunity to further reduce your electricity costs by utilizing renewable energy sources like solar power.

2. Low maintenance cost

Unlike petrol or diesel powered vehicles, electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, resulting in lower maintenance requirements. This translates to reduced long term maintenance costs for your electric car.

3. Tax beneficial benefits 

With the increasing acceptance of Eve's in India, the government has implemented various policies and incentives to promote their usage. One notable example is the reduced registration fees and road tax for purchasing it compared to traditional ICE vehicles.

4. Better performance

Previously, it was considered impractical, but that perception has evolved over time. Manufacturers now offer well designed and aesthetically pleasing it is with improved performance. Electric vehicles are lighter in weight and boast remarkable acceleration compared to their fossil fuel powered counterparts.

5. Zero emission

It contributes to a significant reduction in carbon emissions as they produce zero tailpipe emissions. By utilizing renewable energy sources to charge your it, you can further minimize your carbon footprint.

6. Easy drive and silent Vehicle

Effortless to operate and serene it provide a hassle free driving experience with their simplified controls and minimal mechanical components. Additionally, these vehicles can be conveniently charged at public or home charging stations, ensuring a seamless charging process. Moreover, it operate quietly, effectively reducing the noise levels typically associated with traditional fuel powered cars.

7. Zero fuel consumption

 One of the most notable benefits of it lies in their positive impact on the environment. Pure produce no tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing air pollution. As the electric motor operates within a closed circuit, it emits no harmful gases. By eliminating the need for petrol or diesel, pure electric cars contribute greatly to environmental preservation.

8. Ample cabin space and enhanced storage capacity 

Electric vehicles, with their simplified design, offer the opportunity to utilize additional space for storage purposes, resulting in a more spacious cabin. Furthermore, the absence of a conventional internal combustion engine allows for storage compartments to be located under the hood. Compared to fuel powered vehicles, it requires less space for their motors and batteries, further optimizing storage capacity.

9. They are our future

Electric vehicles are seen as a sustainable alternative due to numerous countries committing to gradually decrease their reliance on fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel. This makes them future proof.

10. Home charging convenience

 Eliminate the need to search for the nearest petrol station by charging your vehicle at the comfort of your own home.
