Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.Â
Global warming is starting to happen in Asia. Some effect of global warming already happen in this world. In South Asia there has been a severe drought. In India the drought reaches a temperature of 30 degrees celcius, causing 1000 more people to be killed. The report said, low and middle income countries may lose productivity from climate warming. Meanwhile, rich countries have financial resources in the face of climate change.Â
Drought in Asia caused by el nino in May. El Nio is Southern Oscillation refers to the cycle of warm and cold temperatures, as measured by sea surface temperature, SST, of the tropical central and eastern Pacific Ocean. El Nino will occur if the temperatures in the waters of the central and eastern Pacific become hotter. Usually, this El Nino will happen in December. On average, this El Nino will happen about four years once. In fact, El Nino has been recorded for 23 times.
The effect of global warming is influential on global economy of Asia. This will cause a loss of USD 2 trillion by 2030. There are 43 countries, especially in Asia, including China, Indonesia and Malaysia will experience economic downturn due to climate warming. This is due to the declining potential of workers, resulting in lower productivity.Â
Extreme hot weather in Southeast Asia will cut the annual workforce by 15% -20% and that figure could double by 2050 are the same as what is said by kjellstrom. The government is trying to make the global warming is not impact too big on the Asian economy. They change the hours of work and change the way the building of office buildings that can reduce the energy of greenhouse gas effect.Â
Greenhouse gas effect is the closed atmosphere so the incoming sunlight can not go out and make the earth's temperature increases and heats up. Another thing to do is 190 countries agreed to hold measures to limit global warming in December in Paris, France. Around 55 countries representing 55% of global greenhouse gas emissions must ratify the agreement by 2020. The government can not allow global warming to damage the earth and its impact slowly. Even though the government has stepped in to solve this problem, we can not just standing waiting the result. We must also help in overcoming this global warming. At least treating the air by planting trees and another thing to keep the earth.
