But global warming is a phenomenon induced by humankind. Scientists across the world have been thoroughly examining the changing climate, and have found close links between global warming and extreme climatic events. Global warming induced by humans has drastically altered global climatic patterns. Natural disasters that used to occur once in a hundred years are now occurring more frequently, more extensively, and with greater intensity. The destruction and damage caused by such events are also increasing. Frequent extremities in weather events are drastically affecting the global population by increasing the death toll each passing year"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Extreme heat waves -- Cold waves -- Increasing floods -- Pakistan floods -- Calamities in China -- Hurricanes -- Thunderstorms -- Droughts -- Extreme droughts -- Severe wildfires -- Wildfires around the world -- Extreme allergies -- Landslides, mudslides -- & avalanches -- Winter weather -- Glacial earthquakes -- A disastrous 2018 -- Environmental refugees. 650 0 $a Weather $x Effect of human beings on $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Severe storms $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Climatic changes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864229 650 7 $a Natural disasters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033994 650 7 $a Severe storms. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01113724 650 7 $a Weather $x Effect of human beings on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01766584 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 941 $a 3 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040427.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323031843.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200104010807.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6534234DF5911E9BD2BF46B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
