Have you ever wondered why mercury is rising so erratically? Why there is such hysteria in earth’s climate? HT-PACE talked with member of India’s first scientific expedition to Arctic in year 2007 Dr.Dhuv Sen Singh to seek answers on some crucial climatic issues.
Dr.Sen asserted that increase and decrease in earth’s global temperature is a natural cycle and there are scientific conclusions that shows that glaciers during Pre-cabian (550 million years ago), Gondawan period (300 million yrs ago) and Pleistocene (1.1 million yrs ago) also retreated and melted down. Dinosaurs become extinct much before human arrival on the planet Earth. According to scientific theories extinction and origination of fauna and flora, retreation and advancement of glaciers, cold and warm, arid and humid stages of climate are natural phenomena. Yet we cannot deny the fact of human being are acting as a catalyst to upsurge the earth’s temperature. Though fluctuations in temperature are natural but man is continuously elevating the adverse effects of climatic changes. Human has been neglecting the environmental loss that is being happening on a name of development. If we continue to uncheck pollution, deforestation and excessive human intervention to nature than undoubtedly we are propelling ourselves on a verge to extinction. Excessive global warming can also contributes to bring in disastrous Ice Age that can also mark human extinction from the planet.
“Climatic pattern is like a wave of warm and cold tides. At present we are in climate of excessive heat in days to come what will be the pattern is still unknown to all? If we advance towards cold stage then there is nothing much to be worried about but if the trend of global warming will rise at such high rate than it definitely possess risk to human race. Therefore it should be our bounden duty towards our planet to opt for sustainable development of our nation and adopt basis measures to abate global warming ” adds Dr. Sen.
What can you do to reduce Global warming?
Ø Stop using non-biodegradable items for domestic use.
Ø There are two sinks for Carbon dioxide: Trees and Rain. We cannot control rain so we should try to plant more trees to filter and purify our surrounding. Try to plant a tree atleast at your birthday.
Ø Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Use fluorescent bulbs in your room.
Ø Turn off your computer or the TV when you’re not using it. Unplug chargers when not in use.
Ø Wait until you have a lot of clothes to wash before using the washing machine.
Ø Don’t use the machine for one item just because it’s your favorite shirts
Ø Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.
Ø Close the blinds on a hot day if the sun is shining in. Dress lightly instead of turning up the air conditioning or use a fan.
Ø Dress warmly inside your house when it’s cold, instead of turning up the heat.
Ø Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on your AC and furnace clean.
Ø Walk short distances instead of asking for a ride in a car.
