Global boiling is not just about “Heat” But it is a crisis that affects both individuals and the global community. This severity has made addressing global warming an urgent matter that requires everyone to take part in solving it as quickly as possible.

The intensifying shift from global warming to global boiling is causing severe impacts on living beings in multiple dimensions.

“Global warming” It began to gain attention when leaders or international organizations, such as the United Nations (UN), and climate scientists used this term to draw focus on the severity of the ongoing climate crisis and to urge everyone to take serious action, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using renewable energy.

This term reflects a severity that is not just “heat” but also encompasses impacts on all aspects of life on this planet if urgent and effective action is not taken.

The obvious severity from the California wildfire crisis in the United States. The bad news at the beginning of 2025 (January 7, 2025) claimed human and animal lives and caused economic damage of approximately 1.73 trillion baht. 

It is considered a truly sad news to start the year with, along withThe wildfire situation in the state of California, United States. By BCC NEW Thailand It reported that 5 people have died, and over 137,000 residents had to be evacuated from the area, while more than 1,400 firefighters were mobilized amid various obstacles, including strong gusts of wind, drought in the area, and a shortage of water for firefighting. At least 7 areas experienced wildfires, causing massive damage to homes and farmland. 

What factors caused this massive wildfire? 

Research by the U.S. government indicates that climate change is a key factor in this wildfire. Strong winds and drought are the main causes of winter wildfires, making it impossible to control the direction of the fire, leading to unexpected events that claimed human and animal lives along with massive damage. 

What lesson can be learned about the true causes of the increasingly severe natural disaster crisis!!

What are the main factors that lead to global heating, the causes that make the global heating crisis more severe?

From human behavioral factors.

1. Greenhouse gas emissions (Greenhouse Gas Emissions) 

• The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, produces massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄).
• Large-scale livestock farming is a major source of methane gas.
• Deforestation reduces nature's ability to absorb CO₂.
• Low-quality production processes cannot control or manage greenhouse gas emissions. 

1.1 Unsustainable consumer culture

Unsustainable food consumption resulting from human behavior.

• Consumption of food produced through environmentally destructive practices. For example, consuming meat from farms that use high resources in production or produce relatively high greenhouse gas emissions.
• Food loss and waste (food waste). Both from the production industry and households, where discarding food that is still edible or consuming excessively without considering the environmental and economic impacts. 

Buying luxury goods and practicing disposable consumption.

• Consumption of products made from unsustainable materials. For example, fast fashion clothing produced in large quantities, changing usage according to trends, and discarded when no longer popular.
• Purchasing goods unnecessarily. For example, buying luxury goods that lead to overproduction, which depletes natural resources.

2. Driving the economy with unsustainable energy, including urban and industrial expansion. 

• Energy systems that rely excessively on fossil fuels.
• Electricity generation, transportation, and industries that do not use renewable energy.

2.1 Urban and industrial expansion

• The expansion of major cities and industrial development increases local heat and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Converting forests or natural areas into agricultural or urban land causes the soil to release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
• Waste generation and improper waste management lead to methane emissions.

2.2 Deforestation and destruction of green areas to create housing and develop infrastructure.

• Tree cutting for agriculture, housing, and infrastructure development leads to a decrease in forests, reducing the natural carbon absorption capacity.  

2.3 Overproduction and overconsumption industries.

• Mass production of consumer goods and overuse of natural resources beyond limits.
• Supply chains with long-distance transportation increase CO₂ emissions.

2.4 Agricultural activities.

• The use of large amounts of chemical fertilizers in agricultural activities, both in industrial and farming sectors, increases nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions. 

2.5 Livestock activities.

• Animal husbandry processes. In industrial systems, it releases large amounts of methane gas.
• Manure management. The collection and management of animal manure, especially in systems where manure is stored in wet areas, such as fermentation pits or storage lagoons, undergoes anaerobic decomposition, releasing large amounts of methane gas. 
• Animal feed production.  Growing animal feed requires chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the production and use of nitrogen fertilizers release nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide.
• Transportation and processing.  The transportation of animal feed, live animals, and animal products, as well as the processing and storage of these products, uses energy from fossil fuels, releasing carbon dioxide.

Impacts on living beings and the environment from rising temperatures.

The global average temperature is rising at an alarming rate, causing severe impacts on ecosystems and humanity in various ways. This makes it urgently necessary to address climate change, not only by reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also by adapting and fostering global cooperation to solve the problem sustainably.

Impacts of global heating.

1. More intense heatwaves occur. Frequent and increasingly severe climate crises, such as impacts on human health, increased mortality rates from diseases, and the spread of epidemics. 

2. Melting of polar ice.  NASA found that the ice in the Arctic, such as Greenland, and in the Antarctic. is melting faster.Greenland's ice is melting 6–7 times faster compared to 25 years ago, and 4,700 million tons of Greenland ice have disappeared, contributing to a 1.2-centimeter rise in sea levels. As sea levels rise, low-lying areas become more prone to flooding. 

3. Rising sea levels. As a result of faster polar ice melting, sea levels are rising noticeably, impacting coastal areas and causing damage from strong waves. 

4. Natural disasters and changes in ecosystems.  Severe disasters occur, considered a crisis, such as storms, floods, and wildfires, which are increasing in frequency and intensity. In some areas that were never previously flooded, flooding now happens every year, or wildfires cause many species to become extinct or die.

Direct impacts on living beings and the environment. 

1. Impacts on humans in a global heating scenario.

• Health impacts. Intensifying heatwaves affect human health, causing conditions such as heat stroke, respiratory diseases, and heart disease. Additionally, the increase of allergens in the air worsens symptoms for allergy and asthma patients.

• Food security impacts. Climate change reduces agricultural yields, such as droughts and floods that destroy crops. Water shortages in agricultural areas also affect the global food supply.

• Impacts on livelihoods and housing. Rising sea levels flood many coastal communities, forcing relocation and increasing the risk from stronger storms.

2. Impacts on wildlife in a global heating scenario.

• Loss of habitats. Rising temperatures cause many species to lose their habitats, such as polar bears that depend on sea ice or marine animals facing coral bleaching.

• Rising temperatures cause many species to lose their habitats, such as polar bears that depend on sea ice or marine animals facing coral bleaching. Climate change forces some animals to alter their migration behaviors, which may affect their survival and reproduction.

• Risk of extinction. Many species cannot adapt quickly enough to the changes, causing population declines and increasing the risk of extinction, such as certain penguin species and tropical frogs.

3. Impact on the ecosystem

• Coral degradation.  Corals, which serve as habitats for many marine species, are degrading due to bleaching caused by rising sea temperatures.
• Changes in the food chain.  The decline of certain species in ecosystems, such as small ocean fish, causes a chain effect on higher-level animals in the food chain.
• Changes in the physical characteristics of ecosystems. For example, the transformation of wetlands into dry areas reduces biodiversity.

4. Impacts on natural resources.

• Degradation of soil and water resources.  Droughts and overuse of water reduce freshwater sources and degrade soil quality.
• Warming oceans.  It affects marine animals, such as reducing the number of fish that are an important food source for humans.
• Changes in natural vegetation.  Rising temperatures make it difficult for some plants to grow and cause them to become extinct in certain areas.

How can we contribute to solving this problem?

Addressing global heating is something everyone must participate in, starting with small changes each person makes in daily life. When combined, these actions can create long-term positive impacts. Collaboration at the individual, community, national, and global levels can help build a sustainable future for our planet.
