ABSTRACT: It is becoming clear that Climate Change is getting
severe. It was
reported that the improved ocean heat measurements have a rate of warming
upwards from 4 to 5 Hiroshima bombs liberated heat per second or 388,800 per day. It was reported also that
our climate has accumulated the equivalent of a total of more than 2.8 billion
Hiroshima bombs’ worth of heat since 1998. Despite this global concern about the effect of global change
on environment, it is believed that the problem is much more severe and with
greater impact on all facets of life. The effect of Climate Change, especially
with a 1℃ increase in global temperature (from 14℃ to 15℃ ) is equivalent to the heat liberated from explosion of about 300 million Hiroshima of atomic bomb.
This is why this CoP 26 becomes more serious and had targeted year 2060 as a year of zero CO2 emission. This paper
discusses the impact of climate change on ten sectors; water, water
desalination, energy, renewable energy supply, health, society, agriculture,
economy, industry, and built environment.
