Climate change impacts the world in numerous ways:
Rising Temperatures: Global temperatures are increasing, causing more frequent and intense heatwaves.
Sea Level Rise: Melting polar ice and glaciers contribute to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities with flooding.
Extreme Weather: There’s an increased frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts, causing widespread damage.
Ecosystem Disruption: Species are forced to migrate, and some face extinction as their habitats change, disrupting ecosystems.
Food and Water Security: Altered weather patterns affect crop yields and water availability, leading to food and water shortages.
Human Health: There is a greater incidence of heat-related illnesses, respiratory issues, and the spread of vector-borne diseases due to changing climates.
Efforts to mitigate climate change focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources. Adaptation strategies include improving infrastructure resilience, developing sustainable agricultural practices, and enhancing early warning systems for extreme weather events. These combined efforts aim to minimize the adverse effects of climate change on human and ecological systems.

There are various speculations regarding the next World War, i.e., World War 3. Many world leaders, often mention that we are in a grave situation already, and a few mistakes away from triggering a world war. It is usually debated that the next world war will be fought using deadly forces like atomic weapons, chemical weapons, and biological weapons.
There are more than twelve thousand nuclear weapons across the world now. Just two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during the Second World War brought a nuclear winter after destroying millions of lives. Even if just 100 current-day atomic weapons were used in the Third World War, it would be a catastrophe for the environment, causing irreversible changes to our climate. An increase in temperature, atomic dust and subsequent high radiation clouds spreading miles and miles will make our atmosphere impenetrable to sunlight. This might usher in another ice age, causing an extinction-level climate change.
Similarly, using deadly chemicals may pollute our rivers, destroying aquatic flora and fauna. Such acts will bring ecological imbalance and eventually will cause major climate change.
Biological weapons, similarly can be harmful not only to humans but also other species. Such warfare will also destroy ecosystem homeostasis. The next world war will be bad for the climate.
