Climate Change: Impact of Temperature on Dimethoate (OP) Toxicity and Behavior of Fish and Bivalve
Journal Title: International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The term “Climate Change” is used to anthropogenic climate change (Global Warming). Anthropogenic Climate Change is created by human activity (increase in CO2 level due to burning of fossil fuel, CO2 released by cement factories, ozone depletion, methane produced through agricultural practices, livestock, animal husbandry etc.), contrary to the changes in climate due to Earth’s Natural processes. Global warming has tremendous impact on functioning of ecosystem resulting in bio-geographical distribution of biota. Climate change is causing more havoc than geophysical happenings (earthquakes, tsunami). Recent UN report on International Disaster Day (October 13) opined that 91% of all disasters during 1998-2017 were caused by flood, storms, draught, heat waves and other extreme weather conditions. The global warming of 10C compared to preindustrial level has already altered the disaster map and during past 20 years the disasters related to climate change have doubled.
