Lets fight Global Warming

This is for my readers. Since I'm busy with my academics these days, I'm not able to keep this blog updated. I assure you that I will be back and this blog will get a kick start again once my academical pressure ceases... which won't be too long!


So... keep checking this blog out... I WILL BE BACK SOON!

cheers... God bless.

British weather experts have predicted that the world temperature will come down slightly in 2008 due to the La Nina* climate pattern over the Pacific area. Inspite of this, this year(2008) will be among the top 10 hottest years on record...Phew! atleast we have something relating to cooling in this burning world... but don't start rejoicing...since the climate will once again give in to the scorching heat once the La Nina declines.


* La Nina is a spanish word which stands for "little girl". During the La Nina period, the sea temperatures get lowered by 0.5°C.

Here's a piece of news which should inspire other nations... Germany is set to ban cars which cause excessive air pollution from running in city centres and central places. There would be labels on the cars which show the amount of damage they do... from light to excessive and based on that it'll be decided as to whether cars would be allowed to run or not. Initially, this policy is to be implemented in Berlin, Cologne and one other city... in due course, it will be implemented in other cities too. Thumbs up to Germany for that!

Some are debating as to whether global warming actually exists... but to tell you the fact, studies have shown that even if we start stabilizing Greenhouse emissions now, the effects of global warming will last for decades. This has been confirmed by the Chairman of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Rajendra Pachauri to a leading Indian newspaper "The Times of India". So... if you still haven't started doing your bit to save our planet, it's never too late than ever!

Here's a slap on the face to those who say Global Warming is hoax. It has been let out that Global warming is affecting Europe like never before. To support this claim, I'd like to tell you about what happened in Catigloine, a village in Italy supporting about 2000 people. In August 2007, there was a scare since more and more people started complaining about exhaustion, fever, headache and pain in the joints. No one knew what this epidemic was called. It was then that they learned that it was "chikungunya", a disease of the "Tropical regions" which is caused by warming. It is caused by Tiger Mosquitoes which survive well on climate change and rising temperatures. It's evident that this outbreak was an effect of global warming. I came to know about this in a local newspaper. Thus, a disease which was unknown to Europe for so long finally made it's mark... thanks to Global warming! This is just the beginning... if we continue emitting Greenhouse gases at this rate, such problems will only aggrevate. This time it was Italy, tomorrow it could be England, or Portugal, or Greece!
