Essay / Essay on Climate Change in Mongolia - 1608
Effects of climate change in Mongolia and loss of national heritageThe melting of Antarctic ice and the acceleration of sea level rise, the increasing number of large wildfires, intense heatwave shocks, severe droughts and blizzards, food supplies are disrupted and diminished, and extreme storms are increasing in many parts of the world, and these are just a few -one of the many consequences of global warming. Fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil that we burn for energy, as well as the loss of forests due to deforestation in the southern hemisphere, also contribute greatly to climate change. Over the past three decades, every year has been warmer than the year before, and the 12 hottest years on record have been since 1998. We are overloading our atmosphere with greenhouse gas emissions and trapping heat, and recently, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. reached 4:00 p.m. Not only are environmental problems increasing due to increasing carbon dioxide, but other diverse problems are emerging as climate change worsens. For example, regional and local analyzes and models agree that Mongolia has become significantly warmer and that this increase in temperature is important because it undermines its centuries-old historical nomadic lifestyle and even brought to the brink of extinction. Mongolian nomadic pastoralists have become highly vulnerable to many unusual climate impacts and extreme temperature fluctuations that have led to inadequate grazing and the loss of enormous numbers of livestock. Pastoralists face hostile environmental conditions that have led to deep-rooted pastoral poverty. This essay mainly focuses on the impacts of climate change on the qualitative value of indigenous culture and nomadic lifestyle. Furthermore, there is a starting point for weighting actions, impacts will affect poorer countries first, which could result in losses valued at a high proportion of their national GDP. , but in the future, the burden of the climate change phenomenon will also have a considerable impact on global GDP (Ackerman). As mentioned in Frank Ackerman's article, our moral obligation to protect lives and livelihoods, children and our future generations has become a matter of counting digital numbers now. Thus, a society heavily oriented toward money loses any sense of obligation and gratitude toward the environment and culture. The monetary valuation system becomes very complicated and inefficient for non-economic values, because when the economy begins to function efficiently and begins to recover from any monetary loss, it is still unable to recover from the "real loss", environmental and cultural damage..
