Mercury is rising and we are sweating. The heat is on. Every year during the summer, we curse the heat but forget after that. Year after year, the summers are becoming more and more severe. Actually we all know the reason for this nature’s fury i.e. GLOBAL WARMING-most debated topic these days. As a comman man, we may say that it concerns scientists and environmentalists. But actually we are facing the heat.

                                                                                Let us first look what can be consequences of global warming. There will be more heat waves and forest fires. Glaciers will melt rapidly and increase in water level. There will be danger of severe floods. Coastal regions and small islands will become extinct. Crops will be affected. Many species of birds and animals will become tales of  history.

                                                                         We may point our finger to mother nature for this large scale destruction, but actually fault lies within us. Human beings never respected the mother nature. From the invention of wheel to largest  aero plane A380,our progress has been extra ordinary, but we must realize that we still need fresh air, clean water and food to survive on planet earth. Mother nature gave these invaluable gifts absolutely free. But in pursuit of so called industrialization, we never valued free gifts from nature.

                                                                      All is not still lost. Scientists say still we have eight years to take preventive measures. We should open two fronts to tackle global warming. First on international front ,all countries whether first world or third world countries should become united. Major emitters such as USA,China,India,Brazil should join the Kyoto protocol countries of Europe and Japan in imposing cutbacks in heat-trapping gases like carbon-dioxide emitted by powerplants,industries and vehicles. World should move from carbon heavy fuels like coal to cleaner fuels such as solar energy.

                                                                      Now on personal front.As a common-man we may ask ourselves what I can do to save this planet earth.Atleast everyone of us can grow a tree in our lifetime .It will be a small step for us but a giant step for the survival of human race.

“save mother earth,save human race”
