Climate change in simple words can be defined as the shifts in weather observed throughout the period of time. It has emerged to be one of the pressing issues in today's age, which can be witnessed with our bare eyes. Due to the imbalance in Earth’s climate, the sustainability of the planet’s ecosystemhas come under threat; and so has the future of civilization and the vitality of the global economy.
Rise in temperature due to transportation, industrial practices, deforestation and other human activities are directly responsible for causing greenhouse gas emissions; ultimately leading to climate change.
Climate change furthermore increases the formation of more destructive weather phenomena like drought, fires, extinction of animal and plant species, overrunning of rivers and lakes, and destruction of the food chain and economic resources, especially in developing countries like India.
This is a global issue and we can already see visible impacts on the environment -
glaciers have shrunk, rivers and lakes are soaking up, plants and animal ranges have changed positions and trees are blooming sooner than usual. One of the main causes of all these environmental issues is the unconditional exploitation of biological resources and devastation of the environment by humans.
It is to be noted that global warming is said to be of “anthropogenic origin”(environmental pollution and pollutants originated by human activity). This implies the current factors contributing to rise in global warming are not nature-induced, rather an outcome of human practices, in a quest to advance industrial growth and strengthen global economy.
The global climate is propelled to experience furthermore changes over time and beyond. The extent of climate change after a few decades relies primarily on the proportion of heat-trapping gases emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to those emissions which are largely man-made.
MyGov Arunachal would like to explore everyone's opinions and meaningful suggestions on this important matter of climate change and measures to tackle it.

Unplanned construction should be stopped.Destruction of natural resources in the name of development should be stopped and at same time planned plantation should be increased.
