Global Warming


Over the past 50 years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. And experts see the trend is accelerating: All but one of the 16 hottest years in NASA’s 134-year record have occurred since 2000.

Climate change deniers have argued that there has been a “pause” or a “slowdown” in rising global temperatures, but several recent studies, including a 2015 paper published in the journal Science, have disproved this claim. And scientists say that unless we curb global-warming emissions, average U.S. temperatures could increase by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century.

Q: What causes global warming?


A: Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape into space—but these pollutants, which can last for years to centuries in the atmosphere, trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter. That’s what’s known as the greenhouse effect.

We should understand the situation and opt the living without carbon emission. We, the young generation should think of the future and live the life happily.

     Nature is a great teacher. When we observe nature carefully, we learn many things. We learn that every action has a reaction. If we cut trees indiscriminately, we suffer from disasters like droughts, floods, etc. If we take care of the nature, nature will also look after us.      Nature teaches us how to be patient and wait for the fruits of what we have sown. The trees that stand patiently all through the year teach us selflessness. They teach us to give rather than receive. By observing animals, we learn how to live together and help each other; we learn that each and every animal is important in the food chain, and disappearance of even one can cause problems. Each plant is different with requirements; so also, each human being is different and has his or her own needs and capabilities. Nature teaches us to obey the laws of changing seasons and adjust accordingly.      The most important teaching that Nature has a...

Cut your Coat according to your Cloth

  If you give a piece of cloth to a tailor to make a coat, the tailor will first measure the cloth and then decide what kind of coat has to be made out of it. He will not be able to make a coat that requires more material than the cloth provided. The same is the case with our income and expenditure. Our expenses should always be within the limits of our income. Otherwise, we are sure to land in debt and difficulties. The proverb thus tell us not to spend more than what we earn i.e., to live within our means, This proverb noy only to individuals but also to business establishments. Of course, a company mat rise a loan to expand or diversify its business. But it must do so judiciously; otherwise it can even go bankrupt. Even the government of a country has to keep in mind its total resources while spending. If it does not do so and goes borrowing recklessly from banks and foreign countries, it could result in severe economic problems for the country. Hence the saying is of great prac...
