Global warming

Global warming, an alarming global issue .Hot debates are going on all over the world. Yet the awareness didn't reach locally. Somewhere there is a flaw in the flow of information from the experts and the common man. For instance, the mean sea level rise and the melting of glaciers have been projected much sensitively than educating the people to think socially.

Some facts to light up,
The cheap incandescent bulbs, which we are using so far contributes to the global warming.

  • The word incandescent means 'Emitting visible light as a result of being heated'.
  • CFLs use 75% less energy than traditional incandescents.
  • Europe has banned the use of incandescent bulbs from September 1999. In fact it was said that the sale of the bulb peaked on August 31 as many people in the Europe had bought those bulbs to show it to the future generation.  

It is alarming to hear the fact that the cows contribute substantially to the global warming.
  • Cow emits methane while digesting its food. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide
  • Cows contribute 3 % of Britain's overall greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Humans digest their food through intestines but the cows with their four chambered stomach.

Most special lectures on global warming takes place in air conditioned rooms. People, who know the cause and effects of global warming, too refuse to contribute to the social cause. If the situation prevails, it is unreasonable to advert common people to act with socially responsibility.
