The Editor,

Sir,

Subject: Threat of Global Warming

I, Ravi K, a resident of the Group Housing Complex, Beadon Street, would like a space in your esteemed daily to express my deep anguish and concern of the increase in the threat of Global Warming.

Global warming is a man-made disaster. With the thousands of air-conditioners operating full swing all through the year, the rapid cutting down of forests to erect concrete jungles, the extreme air pollution have treacherously contributed to Global Warming. The immediate effects have been very much witnessed this year. The immense heat in summer, the very late monsoons, peculiar weather changes, frequent and devastating floods are all an outcome of Global Warming.

People should limit if not stop the usage of Air-conditioners. Crackers should not be burst. Petrol and diesel cars should be properly tuned to reduce pollution. Solar vehicles should be promoted. Plastic usage must be limited.

Then only can we save our planet and reserve it for the future generations. I would therefore earnestly urge all citizens to take immediate action and behave responsibly.  

                                          Thanking you!!

                                                                                         Yours faithfully,

                                                                               Aradhya saxena

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
