Climate change causes in Uzbekistan and globally [July Free report] |

Climate change is primarily caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, resulting from human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production and transportation. These emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and subsequent climate change.
Deforestation and land-use changes also significantly contribute to climate change. The clearing of forests for agriculture, logging, and urbanization releases stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, reducing the planet's capacity to absorb CO2 and intensifying the greenhouse effect. The Aral Sea region serves as a poignant example of the consequences of climate change. Situated in Central Asia, the Aral Sea has experienced a devastating ecological disaster caused by human-induced climate change and unsustainable water management practices. Once one of the world's largest inland bodies of water, the Aral Sea has dramatically shrunk due to excessive water extraction for irrigation and changing climate patterns. The diminishing size of the Aral Sea has led to catastrophic effects on the surrounding ecosystem and local communities. As the sea recedes, the exposed seabed releases salt and toxic chemicals, polluting the air and contaminating the remaining water resources. Furthermore, the loss of the sea's moderating influence has altered the local climate, resulting in hotter and drier conditions in the region. The ecological and socio-economic impacts of the Aral Sea disaster are severe. Fishing communities have been devastated, with livelihoods lost and significant health issues arising from the contaminated environment. Additionally, the region has experienced increased desertification, crop failures, and the spread of respiratory illnesses. To address the crisis, efforts have been made to implement water conservation initiatives, restoration projects, and international collaborations aimed at mitigating the consequences of climate change and improving water management practices in the area.

Hello Aysara! This is your mentor Yewon.
Before I start, I apologize for the late comment.
You have written a report about climate change, focusing on climate change in Uzbekistan.
The picture that shows the diminishing size of Aral Sea is so surprising, and I understand the seriousness of this problem.
I hope we can try our best to prevent further climate change.
Thank you for your meaningful report! Great job!

Hello Aysara! This is your mentor James.
Continuing from your previous report on Uzbekistan, this report expands the scope in terms of the geographical region. It is both intriguing and concerning that the vast amount of water in the Aral Sea ironically became insufficient, which actively warns us that there is an urgent need of awareness and action. As you have mentioned, the ecological and socio-economic impacts of the disaster emphasizes that urgent need even more.
Thank you for your intriguing work! Let's keep it up with your next report as well.

Wow—the Aral Sea Region's loss of water on the map truly shows the impact of climate change. Thank you for writing this article about climate change in Uzbekistan, as I learned a lot!
