Friends,
While going through BBC News website. I found a very interseting link regarding understanding the climate change. With pictures and animated guide it gives a good insight into how the greenhuse effect is happening, how the climate is changing over the century, how carbon cycle is getting affected. Its very short and interesting. Check out the below link...

Deaf Fish
Climate change is dulling the hearing of fish and making it more difficult for them to find a home, Australian researchers say. More carbon in the atmosphere means less calcium in the water and consequently poorer hearing in fish, who use hearing as much as sight to locate a habitat.

Melting at a fast rate
The glaciers accross the world is melting faster.
Based on historical records and other evidence, the rate at which the glaciers are melting is also thought to be faster that at any time in the past 5,000 years, said Professor Wilfried Haeberli, director of the monitoring service. 'There's no absolute proof, but nevertheless the evidence is strong: this is really extraordinary.'

GLOBAL WARMING
We all are aware of the word called GLOBAL WARMING. But its high time to take a serious look at it.
Some of the Effects of Global Warming:-
Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 and 59 centimeters) by the end of the century, and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters). Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger. Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active. Floods and droughts will become more common. Rainfall in Ethiopia, where droughts are already common, could decline by 10 percent over the next 50 years. Less fresh water will be available. If the QUELCCAYA ice cap in Peru continues to melt at its current rate, it will be gone by 2100, leaving thousands of people who rely on it for drinking water and electricity without a source of either. Some diseases will spread, such as malaria carried by mosquitoes. Ecosystems will change—some species will move farther north or become more successful; others won’t be able to move and could become extinct.
What we can do at least:-

What we can do at least:-
- Please switch off your PC monitors before leaving for the day or when you are away from your desk for a long time.
- Use public transport whenever possible.
