Description

A topic that has consistently been in the news and politics is the environment, especially the global climate changes. Environmental Expertise is issuing many warnings to the politicians and people of the world that global warming consequences are closing at a point where the damage will be irreversible, and climate change is one of the significant threats and concerns to the world and the next generation. Climate experts assert that human activity is the leading cause of climate change. Some of the human activities are industrialization, transportation, and deforestation; these activities cause an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases, particularly the concentration of carbon dioxide and water vapor. As a result, more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, increasing global temperature. Such causes have a significant effect on the ecosystem of the atmosphere and many countries across the globe. Eritrea is one of the countries significantly impacted by global climate; as a result, the country faces recurrent drought, food insecurity, groundwater scarcity, increases in temperature, and low precipitation levels. And Eritrea is one of the countries with the lowest greenhouse gas emission, about 0.01% of the globe. However, Eritrea is a country severely affected by global climate change. The other world citizens might think they are safe; however, the danger looming in one place will not assure mercy to the others. Therefore, the world must work together to tackle the effect of global warming.
