What Steps Can be Taken to Control Heat Waves?
- Climate change needs to be controlled, which is the major cause of heat waves. And moving towards green fuels, using renewable sources of energy, and planting more trees can help in controlling climate change and controlling heat waves.
- Emissions or greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are one of the primary reasons for the increase in the surface temperature of the earth and global warming. Thus reducing the emission of greenhouse gases can help.
Heat Wave
In the past few decades, industrialization and modernization have led to deforestation, increasing the surface temperature due to less rainfall and ozone layer depletion. During the summer season, many parts of the world, especially tropical regions faces, heat waves. Heat waves can be hazardous for humans as well as for animals as they can create a drought, and skin issues in humans, and lead to crop depletion as well.
