Climate change is for real and its alarming impact is evident all around us.In the US, on an average, a passenger car emits more than 5 tons of Co2 every year. The average American home emits four tons CO2 per person every year. As a global citizen each of us can help reducing carbon emission by following ways: a) We could use our own transport only when absolutely necessary. b) Using energy-saving electrical equipment. c) Cutting down fewer trees & planting more. d) Preventing wastage of water through use.
New ISRO satellite study says 75% of Himalayan Glaciers are melting, 8% advancing and 17% showing no change. Average retreat was an alarming 3.75 Km between 1989 & 2004. 2190 Glaciers were studied, with experts making field trips to confirm satellite data. The Findings are sure to raise concern over the health of Asia's 'water Towers'.
