Hot January!

Hi,

Till now heard a lot about global warming and all that stuff, felt a bit also. Like the summers are getting hotter, winters are not that cold anymore. But if my memory serves me correct, I have never turned a fan on and slept in the night during the month of January. Not the entire January though, but I am talking about yesterday night. In India the climate for the months, Dec & Jan has been pretty cold rather I would say chilled. At least one needs a warm clothes, blankets etc. I am not talking about coastal areas where the climate might not be that cold. People from coastal areas can throw some light on this. But sleeping in the night with a fan on in January is unimaginable, a few years back, or should I say till last year or so.

Now the experience that I just mentioned above is not based on any complex statistical inferences, it is just my personal experience. I am sure using science the things can be better explained, and would be really alarming.

So now what? The point is now that we as an individual is experiencing the changes in the climate, we do not need to wait for some scientific or some other explanation to prove it right. Nor we should to wait for the scientists, the government, environmentalists or the NGOs would do something to protect us from this global warming effect. I am sure they will, after all they also belong to the same planet and same species. But they are bit busy with other things for our betterment and we should respect that too.

At the same time we as an individual are equally responsible to protect us, our loved ones and the future generation who will carry the environment that we create today. We need to do our valuable bit which are reachable by us like

Save electricity where ever we can
Save fuel where ever we can
Save paper to save trees where ever we can
Plant a plant where ever we can
Get aware of technological effects on ecology before subscribing to it where ever we can
Avoid e wastes as much as we can
Spread these small solutions and come up with new ones to save this planet as much as we can

The environment is at that stage today that the adverse effects are being felt right now by us. Just imagine a few years down the line.

Are we ready to face it? Will our motherly earth be that comforting to us then?

We might be alive but can we survive?
