Impact of climate change and temperature variation, evidence and general perspectives in the southern hemisphere
Climate change is a global issue with significant implications for ecosystems, societies, and socioeconomic structures.It is primarily caused by increased fossil fuel consumption, leading to rising global temperatures and shifting weather patterns.The Southern Hemisphere is experiencing significant temperature fluctuations and climate-induced changes, affecting regional economies, ecosystems, and communities.This research examines the impact of climate change on the southern hemisphere from 1880 to the present day, focusing on temperature variations and the relationship between temperature changes and carbon dioxide emissions.The data was sourced from NASA's database and the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.The study used Stata software to analyze the data, revealing significant summertime temperature fluctuations.The results show the seasonal variation of CO; the ascending curve indicates that the increase in the concentration of CO in the atmosphere does not stop.The study concluded that there is a constant increase in average temperatures in the southern hemisphere, depending on the increasing CO levels in the atmosphere
