2nd Entry - CLIMATE ACTION!

Having a car on campus is a fantastic idea. It's convenient since you won't have to worry about navigating the treacherous stairs, you can go anywhere you like without waiting for the bus, and so on. However, most college students are oblivious to the environmental toll that these cars take.

I can't believe how fortunate I feel to have been admitted to UIA, let alone the law school! Program in Law at UIA is perhaps the greatest option for those interested in studying law at the university. The campus parking situation might be challenging. It's possible that there won't be any parking spots available, that the garages will be full, that parking on the street will be prohibited for unknown reasons, that parking lots will be placed far from the school, and that a parking card will be too expensive. This stuff might make you want to pull out your hair!

The high cost of gas, the requirement of parking, and the prospect of obtaining a parking pass for the semester or year all add up to make car ownership a costly endeavour. Plus, that doesn't include in the possibility of scratches, dents, and other mishaps. Should you take your car to university? It's really up to the specific student. There will be advantages and disadvantages, and they may differ from one educational establishment to the next. It's possible that the parking facilities at your school are among the best in the country. Perhaps taking the bus would be more convenient than driving.

First-year students who already have cars should survey their friends for advice. Also, there are too many vehicles in the UIA, which results in daily traffic congestion. Graduation ceremonies and other events when parents are expected to attend are FUH. The automobiles are getting ready to form a queue. This cannot continue, and it is also harmful to the planet. Because of how much carbon dioxide we've been letting out into the atmosphere.

When automobiles are waiting in huge lines and moving at a crawl, more petrol is squandered. Higher global temperatures are a direct result of human-caused increases in carbon emissions. Considering the prevalence of urban air pollution, we would be breathing in air of diminished quality. As a result, traffic congestion contributes to climate change and poses a threat to human health.

Thirdly, delays in the arrival of police vehicles, fire engines, and ambulances only serve to exacerbate already dangerous circumstances. Moments count at a time of crisis. Every second matters in an urgent situation.

In light of this, it is critical to design and construct reliable public transit and roadways. Managing traffic problems will have a positive impact on many other facets of our society. Investing in transportation infrastructure is a great way to improve the economy and enhance morale, since studies have shown that happy workers are 13% more productive. There is a direct correlation between this and the time spent on the road each day.

Traffic congestion is a transport problem characterised by decreased speeds, increased travel times, and increased vehicular queueing. Traffic jams in cities have gotten much worse since the '50s. When there are so many vehicles on the road that they interfere with one another, this is called congestion.

Travel delays have a devastating effect on our ability to get there on time and our general state of mind. That's why there have been so many reports of road rage recently. It's too much of an effort for anyone, so they all drive in and park in the mahallah's parking lot. People, I've seen, have come to view being delayed in traffic as part of their normal routine. Almost half of the parking lots have been taken up by the vehicles of professors, employees, and students.

In addition to being the primary reason for human-caused climate change, our carbon footprint also causes harmful acid rain, contributes to ocean and coastal acidification, and accelerates the melting of glaciers and polar ice.

As will be seen, its harmful effects may be felt in a variety of contexts, making it the most important problem of the 21st century. All of these processes—movement of people and goods, generation of electricity, combustion of fossil fuels for energy, disposal of garbage from businesses and homes, and cultivation of crops—contribute to global warming. Gases like this cause the "greenhouse effect" by emitting thermal infrared radiation that warms the atmosphere and slows down its escape back to space.

Droughts, heatwaves, cyclones, blizzards, and floods are all examples of extreme weather phenomena that may be directly attributed to the rising global temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human, industrial, and commercial activity.

In 2019 and 2020, for instance, Australia was ravaged by bushfires. Even though intentional fire setting and lightning were the primary causes, climate change has exacerbated the fire's severity and breadth. And it's all because 2019 has been recorded as Australia's hottest and driest year ever.

The current warming observed since 1950 was caused by about one hundred percent due to human activity and gas emissions, as stated in the IPCC's fifth assessment report. Since then, humanity's total number of inhabitants has expanded by a factor of approximately seven. That's why the last century has seen a rise in agriculture, transportation, power, and energy generation, as well as overall economic activity.
