OVER-HEATED PLANET

OVER-HEATED PLANET

Global Warming.......is a very serious issue that haunts every sensible mind ....Planet earth ..our home is going through a major climatic change . Which gradually can lead to the extinction of life from the surface of the Earth .........Statistics says that the average surface temperature of earth has increased by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900 and the rate of warming has been nearly three times the century-long average since 1970.

Most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is due to human activities . The primary causes are the increased amounts of Carbondioxide and other greenhouse gases .

A recent article in NewYork times stated that according to "New studies project " the Arctic Ocean could be mostly open water in summer by 2040 — several decades earlier than previously expected — A major consequence of global warming ............

Climate experts say that without major restrictions in greenhouse gas emissions, 21st century could see temperatures rise by 3 to 8 degrees, sharp changes in weather patterns , ice sheets shrink and sea level rise by several feet. And if it goes on this way , all galciers would melt and continents would go under water.............no human , no life would walk on the surface of the earth. Isin't it scary ????? But that is where we are heading to ........So lets try to change it with all our means ......lets try to gift a green home to our future generation ..............Lets make an effort to stop pollution in every pssible way..................its our home ...so let us save it ....................

The disintegrating face of the Müller Ice Shelf, Lallemand Fjord, Antarctic Peninsula, 67° South, April 2, 1999. This small shelf, fed by glaciers from the Loubet Coast, has been receding recently .

The Larsen Ice Shelf lost a 1200 square mile section early in 2002. Earlier in the 1990's other huge sections of this shelf disintegrated.

Such events definitely will add to sea level.
