Climate change is already a reality, experts and the United Nations Organization itself have warned that human beings have warmed the planet to a level never seen in the last 2000 years.
Various reports by specialists in the field have shown that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the cause of global warming.
Every day we observe that the weather is no longer the same and we notice it in the different seasons of the year around the world.
From China, where in recent days intense rains have been recorded in various regions of the south of that country and heat waves like they have never experienced.
It was the continuous rains of the last 60 years in that Asian country that affected cities and towns and caused thousands of families to be evacuated to shelters in safe areas to protect themselves from inclement weather.
And what to say about our country that has experienced natural disasters due to natural phenomena out of control such as hurricanes, storms, droughts and floods due to excessive water falls.
Only in days past in our state, in the municipality of El Fuerte, its inhabitants experienced a climatological phenomenon never seen before, a rapidly forming storm that drove winds, hailstorms and rains that affected hundreds of families in that municipality.
It was a storm that developed in less than five hours in the middle of an extreme thermal sensation that for scholars in the field is worthy of an in-depth analysis.
And in our context, in a state with significant agricultural activity, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has called on the countries of the world to take urgent measures to support agricultural systems impacted by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. to fight climate change.
The world body noted that 22 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions depend on the agricultural sector, so its impact must be reduced.
Sometimes, the agency points out, environmental regulations are relaxed to increase production to the detriment of sustainability, coupled with the granting of public aid that has distorted the market and has contributed to increasing emissions without benefiting farmers.
Research centers in our state have proposed implementing more environmentally friendly practices, without the farmer losing yields in his crop production, it is an urgent action, they claim.
It is necessary for the farmer to change his way of thinking about the continuity of his agricultural activity, implementing sustainability measures.
Awareness to not lose productivity and not harm the environment is the formula to save the environment.
It is a challenge for the new generations of those who produce in the field, to implement new biological controls on pests with the aim of reducing the use of pesticides and agrochemicals in the field.
Climate change is affecting the planet in different ways, more heat waves, longer hot seasons and shorter cold seasons.
Tolerance levels are becoming critical for health and agriculture.
It is a change that is intensifying the water cycle, which means more intense rains, floods and longer lasting droughts.
Given this scenario, let’s do our part, use emission-free transport, bicycles and walk, let’s leave the car to help reduce gases, take advantage of the useful life of products, using and recycling materials.
Let’s use electrical energy efficiently and recover the vegetation and trees, let’s not pollute, save our planet.
