How concerned are we for our environment??
There is something known as the Feedback Mechanism. Earth receives Sun rays, but reflects it - Ice reflects it best. If there is no ice, sun rays won't be reflected that much. This means, even heat will not be reflected. This in turn melts more ice - inviting more trouble!
Consequences - World has already started losing its fresh water resources (glaciers melting). Fresh water rivers will dry up - converting more and more fresh water into saline water of the seas and oceans. SPECIES EXTINCT - WATER RIOTS
Fertile land losing fertility - already happening in America. FOOD RIOTS
Frequent and turbulent cyclones and tsunamis...
India has already started facing the brunt - Apples in Himachal affected, many islands / deltas in the Sundarbans GONE, the Bengal tiger in danger, Gangotri and Yamnotri in danger, Cyclones in Bangladesh / WB / N-E States, and so on.
The problem is that we all talk about saving electricity (to show-off our intellect). I am sorry to say, in the fad for acquiring more and more and more; In the quest for our development, we absolutely fail to realize that our life style is a major culprit.
We all like cars but we do not understand that they are not only a nuisance on the roads, but also a major major Carbon emitter.
And in all this, we have come long away from our Nature. How long can we survive this way???
