In recent times, climate has been behaving in erratic manner. And for that, unusual and unprecedented natural calamities have been adversely affecting the course of our life all over the world. It has been attributed to the phenomenon of global warming. The vital cause of global warming is the rapid increase in volumes of lethal gases emitted by industrial activities in the developed and developing countries. Consequently, ice cover in the Arctic Region is now slowly melting and losing the volume by 7% per year. Glaciers are also melting gradually. Water levels in the oceans and seas will rise alarmingly and large parts of land in coastal countries may be submerged in near future. The world’s highest peak Mt. Everest is gradually losing its height-nearly 0.1 metre annually. Most of the glaciers in the Himalayan region may also be dry and some perennial rivers may be reduced to seasons rivulets. Many species of flora and fauna may also disappear from the planet within two or three decades. Average temperature of the earth will go up gradually and monsoon rains will be wihmsical, in such circumstances public awareness should be roused by arranging seminars, etc. The press and the TV channels should also come forward. Urgent steps by the developed and developing countries and the UN are the pressing need of the day.
