Rising Temperatures Increasing Rapidly, What Solutions Are Out There?

2011-2020 was the warmest decade recorded, and since, temperatures have only worsened. Temperature rising has increased the risks of heat stroke, droughts, severe storms, etc. Over 400,000 people around the world die each year due to climate change. Climate Change has been relevant for years and countries are taking rapid action. 

The delegate of Saudi Arabia in the committee of UNESCO has stated that his country has created a program to increase water rainfall. The cloud-seeding program will send environmental planes with silver iodide to clouds in order for more rainfall in parts of land that are affected severely from drought warnings. 

This may not be a clear root to help climate change, but it is a useful resource for countries with history with severe droughts and are being displaced due to droughts affecting towns.

Heat Strokes are another major warning for the world to take precaution of. The delegate of Thailand in the committee of the World Health Organization has stated that his country would like to implement signs and warnings around Thailand about heat warnings and the effects of them. Signs including sayings to drink more water and to stay in cool indoor buildings to prevent heat stroke. 

The delegate of the U.S. in the committee of the United Nations Environment Programme would like to start having more organizations with other countries. These organizations would help put in new solutions to reduce climate change over the next 10-15 years. The delegate did not state what action would be considered. 

Alongside, the delegate of Switzerland is considering ways to prevent climate change with the help of Switzerland's community to place more programs to increase recycling methods. Switzerland does a good job at keeping record of recycling procedures and making sure that the materials that affect climate the most are being taken for accountability. 

Climate Change is becoming more and more of a worry to the world and it is best that these countries take strong action immediately.
