ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE

Earth is steadily warming up because of human activities .Gases, primarily carbon dioxide, emitted while burning fossil fuels like coal, gas and oil, lead to heat being trapped by the atmosphere ,as also the heat causes glaciers to melt ,floods ,droughts, extinction of species.......it’s a long scary list. Based on estimates by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies , 2005 was the warmest year since reliable, widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s, exceeding the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree. Temperature changes vary over the globe. Since 1979, land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as ocean temperatures (0.25 °C per decade against 0.13 °C per decade).[ Ocean temperatures increase more slowly than land. Social and economic effects of global warming may be exacerbated by growing population densities in affected areas. Global warming is expected to cause changes in the overall distribution and intensity of events, such as changes to the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation. Broader effects are expected to include glacial retreat, Arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise. Some effects on both the natural environment and human life are, at least in part, already being attributed to global warming. Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature will probably rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century One widely publicized report on potential economic impact is the Stern Review, written by Sir Nicholas Stern. It suggests that extreme weather might reduce global gross domestic product by up to one percent, and that in a worst-case scenario global per capita consumption could fall by the equivalent of 20 percent. As the global financial crisis takes hold and awareness of climate change increases, more nations and companies are trying to invest in alternatives. But will the geopolitics remain the same?

To save the world is each one's duty ,each one has to make his / her contibution ,for one to know more about Enironmental  Issues ,internet is always at hand  but to use this internet more skillfully and to be a donator of our knowledge, WIKIEDUCATOR has started  an online workshop or course ,Learning4Content help us to help others. --Mariya 03:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

My personal favourite on wiki are RTENOTITLE |RTENOTITLE ]], RTENOTITLE ]]and RTENOTITLE ]] and ............its a never ending list.
