*Can we see our skin aging faster? Can we see our hair getting dry faster? Can we endure hunger for long? Can we live without drinking water? There will be only one answer to all of these – 'No!', 'Never!' But it is happening slowly with us. Climate change has started affecting our daily lives and we are ignoring it even after seeing all this. Perhaps we are not understanding the seriousness of the situation. This is our biggest mistake. So before it is too late we must look at the effects of climate change affecting our daily lives.*

It rained lightly the day before yesterday. In the noon many people were talking about raining and saying that weather experts have forecast about warm summer. But unfortunately today morning we had raining. They people were trying to understanding to facts of weather. So this is the impact of climate change. The climate change affecting our daily life but the truth is that we continuously ignoring. Not only this, we have many changes in our life by past few years. Actually, this winter we needed very few days of warm clothes. Except for a few weeks, the temperature did not fall as much as it used to fall in previous years. The heat started knocking in the middle of February itself. Then suddenly one morning the clouds came and it rained lightly. But it was not worth recalling the cold. Why so hot was February and why we thinking about cooler in the beginning of March? Has the summer season extended? It is a bitter truth that climate change is affecting our daily lives in many ways. One of the most visible effects of climate change is the melting of glaciers and sea ice. As we have said in the past, these changes are having a strange effect on the seasons. This has led to a rise in sea levels, which threatens coastal communities and habitats. The loss of ice also disrupts the local ecosystem, as animals that rely on ice for feeding or breeding are forced to find new areas to live in. As temperatures continue to rise. Climate change is a global phenomenon that is already having a significant impact on human health. Heat waves, extreme weather events, and air pollution are all contributing to an increase in heat-related illnesses, respiratory problems, and vector-borne diseases.
If we look very closely, that is, look at our own skin, and then we will see clearly the effect of climate change. Our skin feels the need for more moisturizer. Due to dryness in the skin, the speed of aging has increased. We have to make more efforts to keep our skin moist.
Our hair starts getting dry very quickly. They have started needing both conditioner and oil. Without these two, the hair on the head starts appearing fuzzy. The reason for all this is that we are losing the moisture of our environment.
Now take a look at the market. Compared to previous years, food grains have become costlier. The ratio of consumption and production is continuously deteriorating. Farmers are facing seasonal changes in growing crops. The outbreak of drought has started damaging the crops. We are losing natural spaces. River levels are falling, causing lakes, ponds and wells to dry up, and even disappear in some places. Despite all our efforts, scarcity of drinking water can be seen in many areas of the country. Destruction of old step wells and falling water level of new tube wells have made drinking water expensive. The rest of the work has been done by those companies who make water purifier and sell bottled water.
Till about a decade and a half ago water was given free of cost in the Pyau and now the same water is sold in bottles. This business of making profit from the basic needs of human beings does not even want to look towards climate change.
In the all over world from devastating hurricanes to unprecedented wildfires, it seems that no area of the world is immune to the effects of a changing climate. And while many people are still trying to understand the complex science behind climate change, we are already beginning to feel its effects in our daily lives. Climate change is already having a major impact on food production around the world. Rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns are causing crop yields to decline, pests and diseases to spread, and water availability to decline. These impacts are expected to intensify in the coming years, with some projections suggesting that global food production could decline by as much as 50% by the end of the century. This is the main reason why emphasis has been laid on growing crops that require less water.
Climate change is already beginning to take a toll on the economy. Extreme weather events are becoming more common, costing businesses billions of dollars in damages. Droughts and wildfires are also becoming more common, leading to shortages of food and water.
Climate displaced are increasing in our country, those who are leaving the village and settling in the cities to earn a living. Due to this, the human pressure on the cities is increasing. Due to this, slum areas are increasing in cities where maintaining cleanliness is a challenge.
Climate change affecting the life around the world. Its impacts are dangerous for plants and animals species. There are currently 77 animals that are categorized as EW. Some examples of animals that are within this category are: Black Soft shell Turtle. According to scientists, if climate change continues at this rate, 150 species including animals, plants and insects may become extinct every day. About three could disappear per hour, which would result in the extinction of 72 species in a single day. That's why we need to be alert in time. We need to be constantly mindful of the impact climate change is having on our daily lives.
We should plant more and more trees, conserve water, do not harm the habitat of wild animals and birds. Along with this, we need to reduce the use of fossil fuel and reduce our carbon footprint. Let us adopt cleanliness and take all those measures so that global warming can be reduced. We must remember that we will never get back what we lose due to climate change. So we have to be aware.
