Effects of global warming

Global warming has brought adverse changes in climate by affecting not only humans but also other living species. It is our responsibility to work for the protection of the environment and to see that the present and the future generations can live in a healthy environment

The adverse effects on forests through over population and the development of various chemical elements in the atmosphere have led to irregular rainfall and global warming. This global warming has brought changes in climate, including making perennial snow mountains melt, thereby adversely affecting not only human beings but also other living species.

This dangerous situation is being taken very seriously by the world. In the past, the perennial snow mountains of Tibet had very thick snow. Older people say that these mountains were covered with thick snow when they were young and that the snows are getting sparser which may be an indication of the end of the world. It is a fact that climate change is a slow process taking thousands of years to realise its effect. Life of living beings and plants on this planet also undergo change accordingly. Man's physical structure too changes from generation to generation along with the change in climatic conditions.

Because of the growth in the population, a large number of trees are cut for fuel, and toreclaim land for agricultural cultivation. Similarly, the continuing decline in forests in many parts of the world is adversely affecting the already changing global climate, thus upsetting the lives, not only of mankind, but also of all living beings.

Similarly, the harmful effect on the atmosphere brought about by chemical emissions in industrialised countries is a very dangerous sign. It is our responsibility who speak of the welfare of all sentient beings, to contribute towards this. To work for the protection of the environment and to see that the present and future generations of mankind can make use of refreshing shade and fruits of trees.
