The Countdown Has Begun..!
The countdown has begun. The alarm bell for the rapid
change in climate has already struck and the leaders of the World are
brainstorming on the issue at Copenhagen (Denmark) to find an effective
solution for dissuading the doom.
The chief reason of climate
change is the rise in emission of green house gases (GHG) such as carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons , and others due to
industrialization and technological developments.
The result: Sea
levels could rise by close o one meter this century in response to a
temperature rise upto 1 degree from present levels. This will have
severe impacts on the coastal flora and fauna.
In India around 7,000
sq.km of coastal land could be submerged from rising sea levels. Many of
world’s coastal areas would be under the sea. The glaciers around the
world will melt causing floods all around the world.
Insects like
honey bee that are an indispensable link between flora and fauna are
hard-hit by such environmental disturbances. Insects, a crucial link in
the eco system are gradually moving towards northern areas. Even trees
are moving towards the northern areas.!
