Campaign against Environment Woes

Global warming is the biggest issue for people nowadays Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. The outcome of any significant climate change will be varied rather than simply an overall increase in average or nocturnal temperatures.

Go green india is putting forward such an initiative to make people aware about these climate changes and precautions. With the entire goings around environmental sphere, scientists predicted in the past that there would be effects which would result from global climate change and they are now occurring in terms of loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves. The climate change impact due to global warming in India is the increase in number of people suffering from death, disease and injury from heat waves, floods, storms and droughts.

Considering the seriousness of the situation, there are two ways we can deal - mitigation and climate change adaptation. Mitigation addresses the root causes, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while adaptation seeks to lower the risks posed by the consequences of climatic changes. Both approaches will be necessary, because even if emissions are dramatically decreased in the next decade, adaptation will still be needed to deal with the global changes that have already been set in motion. If we take action to radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions now, there’s a good chance that we can limit average global temperature rises. This doesn’t mean that there will be no more changes in the climate – warming is already happening – but we could limit, adapt to and manage these changes. So, we should go green and save earth.
