What Is Climate Change?How climate change increase risk of glacier and rock collapse

What Is Climate Change? How climate change raises the risk of glacier and rock collapse Climate change means abrupt shifts in temperature and weather. Some of these shifts occur naturally, while others result from human activities such as burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Burning fossil fuels produces greenhouse emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun's heat and raising temperatures. The main greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, cause climate change. Clearing land and deforestation can also release CO2. Agriculture, oil and gas are the primary sources of methane emissions. These are a few of the main sources of greenhouse gases. We face a huge challenge, but we have many solutions. Climate change can be reduced by eliminating CO2 from the atmosphere, which requires systemic changes. The United Nations Environment Programme estimates that countries must double their pledges under the Paris Agreement within the next dec...

Problem of Deforestation-cause, effect, control

 Problem of Deforestation-cause, effect, control The largest threat to forests around the world is deforestation. Forests need to be managed carefully for a variety of reasons, including environmental preservation and the services they offer, in addition to being the source of several goods and industrial raw materials. The earth's woods cover around one-third of its entire land area. 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livelihoods, and their lives are impacted by deforestation and forest degradation. Numerous species' survival is in jeopardy due to forest degradation and loss, which also lessens the capacity of forests to deliver vital functions. Deforestation Meaning  The term "deforestation" is fairly broad and includes the removal of forest litter, frequent lopping, felling, browsing, grazing, and trampling of seedlings. The ecosystem is greatly impacted by this process, which frequently leads to habitat loss, biodiversity loss, changes in water cycl...

वनों की कटाई (Deforestation)

  पेड़ों को जानबूझकर, प्राकृतिक या आकस्मिक तरीकों से साफ करना, नष्ट करना या अन्यथा हटाना, जिससे भूमि का उपयोग कृषि, लॉगिंग या शहरीकरण जैसे अन्य उद्देश्यों के लिए किया जाता है ।   deforestation , the clearing or thinning of  forests  by humans. Deforestation represents one of the largest issues in global  land use . Estimates of deforestation traditionally are based on the area of forest cleared for human use, including removal of the trees for wood products and for croplands and  grazing  lands.  History (इतिहास)  वनों को अन्य उद्देश्यों के लिए उपयोग की जाने वाली भूमि में परिवर्तित करने का एक लंबा इतिहास रहा है। पृथ्वी की कृषि भूमि, जो लगभग 49 मिलियन वर्ग किमी (18.9 मिलियन वर्ग मील) को कवर करती है, ज़्यादातर वनों की कटाई वाली भूमि है। अधिकांश वर्तमान कृषि भूमि में पर्याप्त वर्षा होती है और वे इतनी गर्म होती हैं कि कभी किसी न किसी तरह के वनों का समर्थन कर सकती थीं। केवल लगभग 1 मिलियन वर्ग किमी (390,000 वर्ग मील) कृषि भूमि ऐसे क्षेत्रों में है ...

Nag River: India’s Hidden Pollution Crisis that Needs Immediate Attention!

Nag River: India’s Hidden Pollution Crisis that Needs Immediate Attention! Nag River is a river in Nagpur city of Maharashtra. It is highly polluted due to high urbanization and industrialization around it. "An Innovative study for investigation of pollution and its solution in highly polluted Nag River" An innovative study for investigation of pollution and its solution in highly polluted Nag River has been done by Dr. Damini Bramhankar PG  Research Department of Chemistry, Hislop College, RTM Nagpur University on the comprehensive study published in Applied Water Science. This study is done through water quality index (WQI), principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) for comprehensive spatial analysis of sources of contamination of 17km metropolitan area of Nag River. A division bench of Justices Anil Kilor and Rajnish Vyas had suo motu taken cognizance of a TOI report on pollution in Nag river and converted the matter into a public interest litigation. T...

Funding Environmental Issues: Past, Present and Future

  Funding  Environmental  Issues:  Past,  Present  and  Future Environmental   issues   are   changes   to   nature   that   are  bad  and  mostly  caused  by  human activity.   These  problems  affect  air,  water,  soil,  plants,  animals  and  human  health.  They  are   connected   to   each  other,  so   solving   one   often   helps   solve  others. The History of Environmental Problems   Coal consumption increased during the Industrial Revolution and as cities became more smoke-filled, the serious environmental damage increased. In the 1800s and early 1900s, scientists began to understand how carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere.  The 1970s saw the advent of global activism. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was founded at th...

प्रदूषण एक बहुत बड़ी समस्या

 प्रदूषण हमारी हवा, पानी और धरती को गंदा कर रहा है। इससे हमारा भविष्य खतरे में है। अगर हम आज नहीं सुधरे, तो आने वाला कल बहुत खतरनाक होगा।  प्रदूषण एक बहुत बड़ी समस्या है जो बहुत तेजी से बढ़ती जा रही है और इसको रोकने के प्रयास अलग-अलग एनजीओ (NGO) और समाजसेवियों के द्वारा किए जाते हैं, चाहे वह पौधरोपण अभियान (पेड़ लगाओ अभियान) हो या कोई अन्य योजना हो। आइए समझें कि प्रदूषण कितने प्रकार का होता है:  वायु प्रदूषण (Air Pollution) वायु प्रदूषण में हवा में जहरीली गैसें, चाहे वह कारखानों का धुआं हो या पेट्रोल-डीजल का धुआं, हमारे वातावरण में मिल जाती हैं और वायु प्रदूषण हो जाता है। हवा में इस जहर को हम सांस के जरिए अंदर लेते हैं और कुछ समय बाद हमको फेफड़ों (Lungs) में परेशानी हो सकती है।  जल प्रदूषण (Water Pollution) जब इंसानों द्वारा पानी में गंदा कचरा या अपशिष्ट डाला जाता है, तो इसको जल प्रदूषण कहा जाता है। पानी में प्रदूषण चाहे फैक्ट्रियों का गंदा कचरा हो या नदियों में कपड़े धोना, पानी इंसान के लिए बहुत जरूरी है। आम तौर पर पशु या इंसान, सबको पानी चाहिए तभी वे जीवन...
