    Weather experts and climatologists in India warn the central government that authorities should take immediate steps to secure the country's food and water supplies, as the rise in temperature that will affect the nation is unprecedented. Due to increased greenhouse gas emissions, India will soon join China in being one of the largest polluters in the world.

    Such a level of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions is guaranteed to trap even more heat in the atmosphere, which could increase the nation's temperature by about 4°C, as opposed to 2°C, predicted for the rest of the world. All of this could happen by 2100, warns Kankicharla Krishna Kumar, head of the new Climate Change Research Center at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM).

    What about arab countries constructing man made islands. where does that water go.
    one's gain is another one's loss.
    Most of the world producers of oil do not want alternative energy sources be found or invented. They pump billions of ill gotten wealth to suppress the sources for invention.
    We are going to have this mother earth reasserting itself its power, as it did in Japan earthquake.

    Nothing to worry for this. This is global warming.Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. Global warming makes the sea rise, and when the sea rises, the water covers many low land islands. This is a big problem for many of the plants, animals, and people on islands. The water covers the plants and causes some of them to die. When they die, the animals lose a source of food, along with their habitat. Although animals have a better ability to adapt to what happens than plants do, they may die also. When the plants and animals die, people lose two sources of food, plant food and animal food. They may also lose their homes. As a result, they would also have to leave the area or die. This would be called a break in the food chain, or a chain reaction, one thing happening that leads to another and so on.

    We can Prevent this by:
    Use Public Transport, Burn Methane, Use Smart Cooler, Heater & Air Conditioner , Tune up and maintain vehicles properly, Clean the air in your house, Reduce electricity usage to the maximum, Preferring reusable products instead of disposables will help in reducing the waste, water hybrid cars”. You heard it right! Use water to supplement gasoline enhance fuel efficiency by as much as 100% reduce pollution control global warming by partially running your car on “pure water!”

    Already, people have increased the amount of CO2, the chief global warming pollutant, in the atmosphere to 31 percent above pre-industrial levels. There is more CO2 in the atmosphere now than at any time in the last 650,000 years. Studies of the Earth’s climate history show that even small changes in CO2 levels generally have come with significant shifts in the global average temperature.
    Scientists expect that, in the absence of effective policies to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, the global average temperature will increase another 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit to 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.
    Even if the temperature change is at the small end of the predictions, the alterations to the climate are expected to be serious: more intense storms, more pronounced droughts, coastal areas more severely eroded by rising seas. At the high end of the predictions, the world could face abrupt, catastrophic and irreversible consequences.
    Scientists are no longer debating the basic facts of climate change. In February 2007, the thousands of scientific experts collectively known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that there is greater than 90 percent likelihood that people are causing global warming.

    In Mangalore and surrounding areas many forests and hills are used for real estate, industries,& for roads. When any one cut down TWO trees at least they must plant one plant which will give maximum oxygen so the some what the Carbon Dioxide can be balanced.
