Global warming (due to the increasing level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) is a well known threaten for our planet. However, the awareness is too low. After watching the movie "Inconvenient Truth", my eagerness increased.. Al Gore (Who won the nobel peace prize for this movie) has beautifully explained the effects of global warming based on the data and has given a very nice extrapolation to the scenarios of future..
And its not just heating of earth. The following threatens are also becos of warming:
- Hurricanes
- Diseases
- Deaths
- Devastation of coastal areas
- Extremes at different places - drought at one place (Africa) and huge precipitation at another place (mumbai rain)..
- Species Extinction...
Even scientists are facing problem in getting a PRACTICAL solution to handle the tonnes of carbon dioxide..
At an individual level, there are lots of things that one can do to decrease his/her contributions to CO2 (with some compensation on luxuries) by taking care of certain things in his/her day-to-day life.. Pls go through this site... http://climatecrisis.net/takeaction/. Those actions are not too diffcult.. And if possible, pls watch this film as well if you have not yet watched. Its really good.
