Some 12 big companies had finally decided to respond positively by cooperating with the world cause to stop the escalating effects of global warming. Scientists are already very alarmed at the great increase of world temperature. Our present 1.3 degree increase is very close to the 2 degree limit which estimated to be the critical point of global warming. The gathering of carbon monoxide (by-product of the use of coal and oil) in the atmosphere had enveloped the world and had led to the increase in temperature. Further production of carbon monoxide is entrapped in the inner earth atmosphere which further contributes to a hotter atmosphere. The carbon monoxide is supposed to be an ally against ultraviolet rays of the sun. It serves as a shield especially in places where the ozone layer had been destroyed. But too much of it, while it protects us against UV rays from the sun, threatens us with global warming.
Global warming has many devastating effects. Increase in world temperature directly attacks the ice regions. Increase in temperature slowly melts the ice which becomes water. The amount of ice we have can flood the whole world when melted. The movie "Waterworld" (Kevin Costner), now becomes a reality. Because of the melting/thinning of ice in different places, some who are used to it (like polar bears), are now migrating to cooler places. The melted ice is a source of water to some places in the world. They are worthy when they melt slowly bringing a steady supply to their beneficiaries. But when melted easily, they become a threat. It had been said that the calamities we had for the last years had been mostly because of climate change. This is not hard to believe. Climate is something that is hard to control. If we vary temperatures, climate behavior will also change. In most cases, devastating.
There are a lot of sites (e.g. http://www.panda.org/) where we can gain important and reliable knowledge regarding this critical phenomenon. They also provide ways we can help to advance its advocacies. Let us get involve. This not a time to just be fence-sitters. Everyone will be affected. Let us act before it is too late!
