Non-Climatic Factors Causing Climate Change
Climate change refers to changes
over time in the earth's global climate or in regional climates. This
identifies shifts in volatility or average weather conditions or average time
scales of (normal) weather that fluctuate over decades and millions of years.
These changes may be due to internal processes on Earth or
external factors (for example, sunlight intensity fluctuations) or, more
recently, to activities related to climate change. Particularly in recent
applications, the word 'climate change' sometimes refers only to the latest
changes in the new climate in the field of environmental policy.
One of the problems of human technology is the problem of
climate change and its possible impact on different economic and social
sectors. Latest reports indicate that greenhouse gas emissions are a
significant cause of global warming. In understanding the Earth's climate
history, greenhouse gases also play a significant role. The effect of
greenhouse gases, which produce heat by trapping greenhouse gas heat, plays a
key role in controlling the temperature of the earth, according to these
studies.
Introduction
Over time, climate change refers to changes in the global
climate of the World or in regional climates. It explains variations in
variability or average weather conditions on time scales that fluctuate between
decades and millions of years - or moderate (conventional) climates. These
changes may be due to internal processes on Earth or external factors (such as
variations in sunlight intensity) or, more recently, to activities related to
climate change. Especially in recent applications,
Climate Change Factors
Climate change is due to fluctuations in the atmosphere of
the earth, natural processes around it, and the effect on it of human activity.
Climate forces are also referred to as external influences that can shape the
climate, including processes such as solar radiation variations, earth rotation
(position) and greenhouse gas concentration (concentration).
Ocean Volatility
Climate change can also result from shifts in ocean
processes on a nearly decade-long scale. The Pacific Decadence, the North
Atlantic Oscillation, and the Arctic Ocean Oscillation, which are considered to
be unique conditions within the climate system, comprise many of the climatic
conditions, most especially the South Oscillation, at least because of their
presence. Heat has been stored in the oceans to some degree and transported in
a number of ways between various sources. Longer t On
Climatic Memory
In the sense that the current state of the environment not
only represents its inputs, but also the history of how it originated and
reached this level, most types of fluctuation within a climate system can be
regarded as waste. For example, lakes can be destroyed by a decade of drought,
deserts can dry up completely and deserts can grow. Instead, in recent years,
such conditions could lead to less rainfall. In short, because various aspects
of the atmosphere, climate change can be a constant random proces

Greenhouse Gases
Latest studies have shown that emissions of greenhouse gases
are a significant cause of global warming. In understanding the Earth's climate
history, greenhouse gases also play a significant role[10]. The greenhouse
effect produced by heat trapped by greenhouse gases plays a key role in
controlling the temperature of the earth, according to these studies.
Carbon dioxide levels have probably ranged from more than
5,000 ppm to less than 200 ppm over the last 600 million years, primarily
because of the impact of geological processes and biological innovations. More
carefully, it has been argued that pollution variations of tens of millions of
tons per year do not correspond well with climate change, which is likely to
play a more prominent position in plate tectonics. There are, however, several
examples of rapid increases in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
of the Planet that tend to be closely related to extreme warming, including the
maximum period of the Paleocene-Eocene (Paleocene-Eocene).
Permian-Trasic extinction in the Scandinavian (Varangian)
area, reptile and dinosaur extinction and the end of the glacial phase of the
Earth. Since the 1950s, rising levels of carbon dioxide have been a significant
factor in global warming during the modern period.
What are the consequences of global warming?
The climate is influenced both by the temperature and the
amount of snow and rain. The latitude, altitude and ocean currents in that area
also influence temperatures and rainfall in each region.
Climate change is a phenomenon that affects the climate of each country by
altering the impact of the above influences, leaving adverse effects. Some of
the established effects of climate change are
·
Increasing sea levels and decreasing
resources of freshwater
·
In the high latitudes and the
Northern Hemisphere, regional climate change.
·
Change in rainfall and wind direction.
·
Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes
and flooding, have increased.
·
Increasing the drought rate and developing areas
in the desert.
·
Increased air pollution because of increased hot
winds in some regions.
·
Possible effects on the transmission of diseases

Characteristics of Recent Climate Change
Human Impacts on Climate
Human influences are actions by
which humans alter the atmosphere and influence the ecosystem. The key current
concern is the rise in 2CO levels due to the emissions of fossil fuel
combustion, resulting in aerosols (atmospheric cooling particles) exerting a
cooling effect (on climate). The climate is also affected by other factors,
including land use, ozone depletion and deforestation.
Fossil Fuels
Land Use
Prior to the widespread use of fossil fuels, land use was
undoubtedly the cause for the greatest human influence on the local
environment. The climate is profoundly changed by irrigation, deforestation,
and cultivation. They can, for example, alter the amount of water entering and
leaving a specific location. By affecting the cover of the planet and changing
the amount of sunlight it receives, they may also alter the reflection of the
earth. The climate of Greece and other Mediterranean countries is stated to be
steadily due to the deforestation between 700 BC and AD (the wood of these
forests was used to build ships
As a result, the
region's modern climate has become hotter and drier for the most half, and the
tree species used in ancient times to build ships are no longer found in the
area. Controversial Hypothesis of William Rodiman The early anthropogenic
hypothesis states that over the past 8,000-5,000 years, the increasing in
agriculture, along with deforestation, increased methane and carbon
dioxide.According to the Rodiman hypothesis, these increases, which go back to
previous degradations, may be responsible for the delay in the start of the
next glacial period.
Water resources
Several studies have been performed using
hydro-meteorological data and runoff models that have been combined with
diffusion scenarios and temperature changes to examine the impact of global
warming on Iran's water supplies. The results of periodic runoff data obtained
from 398 hydrometric stations indicate that 47 percent of them have altered the
flood index.Moreover, in the 600 meteorological stations analyzed during the
years 1990-2000, climate change was clearly observed.
For 30 river basins, the long-run runoff model used
indicates that the rise in temperature raises the amount of runoff in winter
due to the conversion of snow into rain and due to the rapid melting of snow in
the spring. Increasing temperatures have also been shown to affect runoff in
catchment areas and reduce variability in runoff due to rainfall.
Agriculture:
Increased climate-change temperatures can decrease the
fertility of rice seedlings, decrease the shelf life of maize, decrease the
immaturity of wheat and decrease the germination of potatoes. On the other
hand, climate change decreases wheat and cotton production by decreasing the
quantity and timing of rainfall, according to historical evidence. Thus, recent
droughts reduced 1,050,000 tons of irrigated wheat and 2,543,000 tons of dry
wheat in the period 1998-1998. These findings have shown that Iran's
agricultural sector is very susceptible to the climate change phenomenon. Thus,

Forest and Land Use
There is a serious impact of global warming on the forest
market. Examples of these effects are the change in the natural growth of
forest plant species, especially resistant species, and the extinction of
semi-resistant species. The normal growth of disturbed forest plants results in
a decline in the production of wood and non-wood products in the forest. Land
erosion, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, can be exacerbated by
invasion of forests and pastures and exacerbation of plant diseases. Rising
water levels are killing mangrove marine forests in the Persian Gulf and the
Sea of Oman. The environmental conditions for wildlife in woodland areas are
rapidly unfavorable due to the decline in the amount of forage in forests,
which in some cases may be a sign of the beginning of desertification. Growing
temperatures and droughts are killing vegetation and thus accelerating soil
erosion, which eventually has adverse social effects, such as migration, due to
the deterioration of the ecological potential of the region due to these
degradations Comparing the Iranian situation. But this has come as a surprise
to many, considering the environmental situation in Iran in recent
years.Recently, Yale University in the United States released a study showing
the improvement of Iran's environmental condition, but some experts claim that
the country should not be included in these statistics for some reason. Iran is
ranked 68th out of 180 countries in the Environmental Performance Index or EPI
2020 survey, released by Yale University, USA, and has a score of 477 out of
180 countries (out of 100). The condition of countries like Turkey, Egypt,
China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc. In this list, it is worse than Iran. Also, the
highest environmental performance was obtained by countries such as Denmark,
Luxembourg, Switzerland, Britain, France, and Austria. In previous times, Iran
has recorded changes in the country's environmental efficiency, and over the
past decade, Iran's index has risen 9.1 points. But this has come as a surprise
to many, considering the environmental situation in Iran in recent years.
