Sub: Dealing with the alarming issue of global warming
Sir:
Through the columns
of your esteemed newspaper, I want to express my deep concern and the need to immediately the needful at the micro and macro levels before the problem becomes unmanageable. Global warming has already started affecting the entire world. Climatic changes are noticeable everywhere. Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth's poles.
This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.
In northern Greenland traditional Inuit culture is already under threat. The sea ice that Inuit use to hunt seals, walruses, and other animals, is not staying as long as it used to. Global warming's impact on sea ice and ocean currents are alsoaltering the distribution of animals. Melting of the huge ice sheet on Greenland will raise the sea-water level by afew feet, leading to submerging of habitable coastal areas and compelling the inhabitants to move farther inside the terrain. This would further have ecological ramifications.
The people of the world must unite and stop global warming from further rising. Emissions of green house gases must immediately be controlled along with the large scale afforestation in all the countries, especially the developing countries.
If the environment is not given the top priority throughout the world, we will lose it forever. Kindly publish my ideas in your esteemed daily for spreading public awareness in our region so that people should start caring for their environment.
Yours truly,
(your name)
