• WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEMS


Temperatures are climbing. Hurricanes are becoming more ferocious. Snowstorms are appearing when they should not while ice caps and glaciers are melting into slush. How many more warning sign do all of us need before we take a more active stance on global warming?

When we talk about global warming, we are directly talked about the green house effect, without which life on the earth would not possible. The greenhouse gasses will stop heat and energy from the sun escaping back to space; this will keep us warm at night. But this good things will carried out a bad effect, when there is too much carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, temperature on earth will start to increase.

By the latest investigation we can know that dawn the modern area the concentration of carbon dioxide in overall air blanket was comfortable at 280 ppm(parts per millions). Now, all the environmental problem such as industrial activities and releasing the CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gasses in atmosphere have pushed this level to 318 ppm. The hotter the earth it would directly related to among other things, weather changes, rising sea level and ecological disruptions. All of this will lastly harm our own population. I wish that I manage to help our earth keep it original condition till end.
