imagine PUNE submerged in water............
its an haunting feel, only if u can imagine
but this can be the scene if we keepon ignoring the nature and its powers.
think of TSUNAMI............60 feet high waves blowed away buildings like pack of cards.
think of great Drought of Bengal in 1940's..................... which costed more than 2000,000 lives.
think of the Earthquake in Gujrat or The Latur & Usmanabad quake in early 90's.
.........
............all these show the might of nature to us.
not only this but there are thousands of incidences where the nature has shown its might and the its not just a natural process.
it is because of ignorance on our part, our urge for physical needs and the so called modernization which is going to take a toll off human race.
One such problem is in the face of Global warming.The effects of global warming on the Indian subcontinent vary from the submergence of low-lying islands and coastal lands to the melting of glaciers in the Indian Himalayas, threatening the volumetric flow rate of many of the most important rivers of India and South Asia. In India, such effects are projected to impact millions of lives. As a result of ongoing climate change, the climate of India has become increasingly volatile over the past several decades; this trend is expected to continue.
DO YOU KNOW???
1) In 1998 coral bleaching event killed off more than 70% of corals in the reef ecosystems off Lakshadweep and the Andamans, and was brought on by elevated ocean temperatures tied to global warming.
2)United States makes up about 5 percent of the world's population, yet they produce approximately 25 percent of the pollution that causes global warming.
3)therz threat of submersion of parts of Mumbai and Chennai, if global temperatures were to rise by a mere 2 °C (3.6 °F)
4)Ongoing sea level rises have already submerged several low-lying islands in the Sundarbans, displacing thousands of people.
5)Temperature rise on the Tibetan Plateau, has caused the Himalayan glaciers to retreat.
examples are many.
threats are many more.
evidences are even more.....
Earth say just one thing
LIVE on me..........but
............PLZ LOVE ME*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (* not me, only EARTH.)
