Dangers of Global Warming

Global Warming: Warning of the Holocaust
Most of the countries of the world have realised the threat of global
warming. Global warming has begun to demonstrate its fierceness. The earth is
getting warmer day by day. It is believed that the most developed and developing countries such as the United
States, Russia, China, European countries and India are covered under it for
global warming. Due to atomic and scientific experiments, ever increasing
pollutants, etc., the global temperature is increasing rapidly. The
unprecedented increase in vehicles and factories has made air pollution
uncontrollable. Due to this, the amount of toxic gases like carbon dioxide and
sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere has started increasing continuously, the
fraction of ultraviolet rays has started reaching the earth and we are
suffering from many skin related diseases. This has led to global warming
taking a severe form.
The basic question is, why is the whole world beginning to show awareness
and solidarity towards global warming?
The main reason for this is the existential threat of the whole world
caused by global warming. With the increase in the temperature of the earth,
the ice accumulated on the poles is continuously melting and the glacier is
getting damaged. This is causing a steady rise in the water level of the
oceans. As a result, many species of animals and plants living in polar areas
have either become extinct or are endangered. Inequalities in the distribution
of rainfall are beginning to be exposed. There has been a huge increase in
natural calamities. It is believed that if the deforestation activities
continue to be active in this way, then day by day the temperature of the earth
will increase and the day is not far away that all the ice on the poles will
melt and the whole earth will be submerged, which will destroy the existence of
the organisms.
Just as every problem is solved, so is the solution to global warming. This
is possible through our mutual understanding and wise use of resources. We
should encourage tree plantation activities. Tree plantation on every festival
has to be made a part of it. Every nation has to find long-term solutions to
eradicate global warming. Various nations have to prepare their own standards
so that it can be kept under control. Unnecessary scientific activities,
scientific tests, unexpected increase in the number of vehicles, substances
emitted from factories will have to be controlled. Thus, with public awareness
and mutual understanding, the monster of global warming can be eliminated
forever and ever.
Therefore, today's youth should become a part of the programmes run by the
government to control pollution. They should encourage mass awareness
programmes to control pollution. Only if the competition of weapons and
non-essential scientific activities has to be banned all over the world, only
then can we imagine a world without pollution.
Global Warming: Warning of the Holocaust
During the G-8 Summit 2005 , the US' differences with other countries on
the issue of global warming linked to climate change came out in the open. No
concrete could be passed at the end of the conference. The main points of what
was said on the issue of global warming in the manifesto issued at the end of
the meeting are as follows:
Urgent action on
global warming is needed. But, it does not set any clear time frame to reduce
the quantum of emission of greenhouse gases, the major factor of global
warming.
Climate change is a
widespread and long-term challenge and is very disturbing for every part of the
world.
Human activities are
essentially responsible for global warming and there is a need to reduce the
use of green house gases, especially the producers of fossil fuels used in
modern industries, and the emission of carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas
emitted from them.
The fact is that about 47 per cent of the total emission of greenhouse
gases is carried out by these eight
countries which are members of G-8. A consensus on the issue of global warming
could not be reached at the three-day meeting of the eight countries held in
Gleningals, Scotland. The meeting of eight developed countries namely US, UK,
Canada, Russia, France, Italy, Germany
and Japan is a common theme such as terrorism, poverty, climate change, clean
energy and sustainable development. It was called to form a consensus on the
issues of v. Apart from the rest of the issues, a burning issue like global
warming attracted everyone's attention in the meeting. The reality of this
meeting was that america's differences with other countries on this main issue
of global warming related to climate change also came out in the open. At the
end of this meeting, only a draconian resolution was passed. Clearly, the US
was able to establish its monopoly here, regardless of developing countries.
U.S. President George W. Bush made it clear at the meeting that the
protocol was not practical for the U.S. economy. Hitting back at India and
China, he said the Kyoto Protocol treaty
cannot be effective unless these two countries reduce pollution levels.
Needless to say, the mood of the changing weather on earth and the unexpected
rise in temperature have now proved that these phenomena are not natural but
human-made.
Today, the U.S. may be denying human preservatives to increase this global
warming, but in the past, u.S. scientists, through an article published in a
journal, predicted heavy damage to the ozone layer from this hot weather to the
outbreak of malaria in the future, the rise of skin diseases and the further
increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The united nations development
programme's published annual report blamed increasing industrialization for the
loss of the ozone layer. Statistics show that in the last three-four years, the
heat has broken all the records of the last decades. It is because of this
summer that over the last decade, north India, especially the Terai satellite
radars of the Himalayas, have found that due to the continuous rise in the
temperature of Antarctica, the ice melts
from four meters to 24 meters annually, which is affecting the sea level. A 0.1
degree centigrat rise in sea
temperature melts 1 meter of burf in
Antarctica. Given the steady increase in this warming of the earth, it is
estimated that this rise in temperature in the last decades was 0.3 degrees centigrade. But in 1990, it was growing at the rate of 0.7
degrees centigrade. According to this, in the next four decades, this
temperature will increase by two degrees.
If this speed of the earth's temperature continues to rise, then the water
level of the metropolitan cities will increase further as the pace of melting
of the glaciers increases. With this, more than half of the world's population
will be in danger of flooding. Not only this, with the increase in water level,
the sea water will meet the ground water and make it salty and this will make
the earth unaffordable. The continuous increase of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere is mainly responsible for this global warming. It is also worth
noting that the volume of the atmosphere is now
required to increase by more than 30 per cent as compared to before the
Industrial Revolution, while on the other hand, a large amount of carbon
dioxide is emitted by the use of excessive fertilizers to increase the yield in
the limited land. Apart from this, the use of underground natural resources
such as coal and mineral oil, etc., and the smoke from motor vehicles and
factories, adds about two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Due to the burning of coal in electric thermal houses and due to the use of
petroleum products, harmful gases are reaching the atmosphere. The facts show
that a chloro-fluoro carbon molecule formed by the combination of chlorine,
fluorine and carbon atoms produces 14,000
times more heat than a molecule of carbon dioxide and raises the earth's
temperature by more than 25 percent.
In the 21st century, as the earth's rising heat and the increasing threats
it poses to mankind, a major treaty
was signed between the World Environment
Conference in 1992 and the 141 countries in Kyoto, Japan in 1997 to curb
greenhouse gases. In December 2004, the Durban Conference on carbon trade and
the kyoto protocol treaty again in
February 2005 were finalized to
bring down carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by 2012 . The unfortunate aspect of this treaty was
that the Bush administration rejected it, calling it an expensive system for
the American economy. The silence on the Kyoto Protocol on issues such as
global warming of the G-8 countries is certainly a matter of great concern for
the developing countries. Blaming a country like the US on this whole issue on
developing countries is a security cover to hide its own mistake.
