Climate Change

As the world moves ahead in 21st century we face the biggest challenge ever faced by mankind termed as "Global Warming". A phenomenon related to degrading of earth's environment and increase in temperature, resulting in disastrous climatic changes across the world.

The earth’s average temperature has risen by 1 Degree Celsius in last 50 years and the main reason’s behind this is the increase emission of Green House Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. Composition of various GHGs like Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) has increased in the atmosphere, causing this increase in earth’s temperature.

The increase can also be attributable to the rapid industrialization across the world. As we go on burning more and more fossil fuels like coal and petroleum the problem only rises.

Various climatic changes like monsoon imbalance, droughts, floods and recent hurricanes have been credited to Global Warming. According to various scientific studies, this rise in temperature can cause polar ice caps to melt in near future raising the sea level causing various low lying regions to disappear in the ocean. Longer and hotter summers will have much more adverse impact on the flora-fauna, animals and humans also. The impact cannot be measured into monetary terms as the impact is much more far reaching and continuous.
