As most of us are aware by now about Global Warming and we also know the effects it might it is capable of. The most harmful of and one of the most primary cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels (coal,oil,gas). But, the world is going to be un-stable and the world will fall for another economic-recession and this time the recession is going to be so deep that it will a few more decades to recover. But, this is only one side of the debate. If the world keeps on using fossil fuels like this then there is no guarantee that the generation after us will be evan able to live 2/3 of our ages. Not only that, my country Bangladesh is going to be half sinked because of the melting ice-water.
Population is increasing ant therefore people are cutting more and more trees everyday. This is causing excessive carbon dioxide in the air . This is therefore causing the ozone layers to open. The atmosphere is getting damaged. This cause increase in heat and temperature and therefore causes the ice to melt.
The increasing heat all over the the world have caused the the ice-caps in the north and south pole to melt. Latest researches by scientists say that the water can rise up-to 20 feet high. Therefore causing some of the low-land countries to sink. Maldives is one of the country in the world to sink in the next few years completely. Below are some of the most harmful affects of Global Warming and the suggestions to control them :-
1) The Melting Ice Caps.
It is said that there is an approximate of 5,773,000 cubic miles of water in the ice caps and there fore if they all started to rain all at one go then the ocean was to rise by 230 feet of water. Luckily, it is going to happen in several years. But, it is going to happen eventually .
2) Economic Loss.
Global Warming will cause a lot of natural disasters like hurricanes,earthquakes,tsunamis and etc. This causes billion and billion dollars of damage.
3) Drought.
It is believed that because of the increasing climate change there will be short of fresh water and drought all over the world. Africa will suffer most from the drought including some parts of Europe. There is a probability of conflicts and war as water is already a rare commodity in Africa today.
4) Diseases.
Diseases will spread a lot faster now because of the continuous variation in weather therefore causing the disease carrying insects and animals to migrate more frequently.
Now, what is the solution then to all of these problems ???? well does Global warming evan have any positve effect other then negative ?
The answer is simple NO. Global warming is already taking place and most probably by the end of my lifetime I will see some extremism of it. So, Is there any way we can help? Yes, we can help to reduce the effect of Global warming by taking action. eg. Toyota have invented Hybrid cars, this can be a very good substitute to the cars using fossil fuels. In China schools use computers for heir school work other then just using papers and wasting them. In the same way we can help by using Non-Cfc bulbs and using more re-cycled products. We might not be able to stop it but we might still be able to prevent it from showing the worst of it and still make our future generation live a safer life. So, We NEED TO ACT NOW !!!

Copenhagen Summit 2009

This was a meeting held last year December . It was a meeting which consisted of almost the leaders of every country in the world . It was a very important meeting because after lots of debate on 'Global Warming' finally the whole world had got together and discussed among themselves . This also included the leading environment activists of the world . After about one and a half week of meeting the whole world had agreed to just increase the temperature by 2 degrees more . Next year a similar meeting will be held in Mexico City in Mexico .
This meeting was just not like another G8 or G20 summit . This particular meeting was first started with the 'COP 15' consisting of the leading top 15 countries of the world . But , later UN had organized the ultimate meeting for global awareness .

'The Story of Stuff ' by Annie Leonard

'The Story of Stuff' is short film of approximate 21minutes narrated by activist Annie Leonard . It is an animated documentry about the life-cycle of products which we use . The documentry mainly focuses on the American consumers the way they keep on buying products and waste them . It aso shows how the world is actually going through eco-logical overdraft . But the most important message this documentry contains is how any product in the world is being manufactured . By watching this documentry anybody will have an idea how effective nowadays production has become . Most importantly every point she made was exactly to the point . What I would say is that evryne who cares for our earth should see this video on youtube .
