Sub: CO2 and Global Warming

Sir,

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I want to highlight the increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. This has resulted in global warming and the rise in global temperature.

We are condemned to pay a very high price of development and progress. Over the last decade, our environment and atmosphere have suffered severe degradation. The content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been steadily but surely on the rise.

In 1991, its level in the atmosphere was near 855. In ten years, it has gone up to 870. Similarly, global warming has resulted in a steep rise in temperature. Larger the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, greater is the global warming. Nothing has caused so much havoc as the deforestation done on a very large scale. Trees are the main source of oxygen. The burning of firewood, coal and LPG increases CO2 level in the atmosphere. Vehicular smoke is another cause of enhancing the CO2 level. If effective and prompt steps are not taken to minimize CO2 level, the whole atmosphere will turn into a gas chamber.

We have to strike a balance between progress and survival. All factories, vehicles and devices that produce more than the required level of CO2, must be banned. Reforestation must be launched on a big scale to counter the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. Save the atmosphere. Otherwise, our survival itself is in danger.

Yours faithfully

Nandan
