The Impacts of Global Warming on the Indonesian Environment

At the present time, if we want to talk about environmental problems in our country ‘s that we can discuss the Impacts of Global Warming as one of the hottest issues. The definition of Global Warming is environmental problem related to climatological changes. Furthermore, these climatological changes are measured based on the increases in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and landmasses. As a matter of fact, the Global Warming has many effects on the Indonesian environment. These problems like the weather patterns are extremely different and less predictable especially for both dry and rainy seasons, the raising of sea level and the death of plants and animals are beyond the scope of this essay.
The first impact of the Global Warming in my country is that it changes from the regular season cycle. Nowadays, for example, it should be turned into the dry season, even though the rainy season still occurs. On the other hand, last year, the dry season lasted extended for almost a year without any rain. Because of these facts, we can say that the weather patterns are different now. Furthermore, the rainy season causes many kinds of problems, such as flood and the raising of sea level.
The next impact is the raising of sea level and the local Indonesian government in some cities should be concerned about this problem. Moreover, people who live in the capital city like Jakarta whose area is under the sea level that they always face this kind of problem during the rainy season. In addition to sea level problem, people who live in coastal areas that they have a bigger problem not only the increasing sea level but also the unpredictable weather. Leading from this, people should protect themselves from a harmful nature.
Besides the two problems above, the last impact is about the death of plants and animals. Some species could extinct (in the verge of extinction) because of the Global warming. For instance, ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer Ocean temperature can cause coral to bleach that a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. In addition, other species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.
To conclude, the Global Warming has many effects on our environment. With some solutions to solve the Global Warming effects, we expect that there will be a better future for our next generation. Therefore, The Indonesian government and the society have a big responsibility to cope with these problems.
