expect more of this in this century
by ravi on Aug 02, 2005 05:49 PM

Hi,

Well more and more junta blame the rain or God for this state of plenty(of water). Well is it really God(or nature) or themselves?



With the onset of the industrial revolution, the human race did gain through automation and industrilization:But at what cost?



More release of toxins into the atmosphere and heat trapping greenhouse gases, pollutants in every ounce in every part of the bio-sphere and the reduction of the ozone layer.





So the effect: More floods and erratic precipitation coupled with increase in the sea-level will take its first bite on the coastal cities like Mumbai, Goa, Florida, Maldives etc.





So in short: stop blaming God and think twice before you start your car for afterall, you are partly responsible for the disaster like in Mumbai!!!





Expect more of these disasters in this century;

1. To offset these, reduce the use of personal vehicles: Start using public transport



2. Reduce consumption in general and that of non biodegradable goods in particular



3. Start recycling ; In fact use goods which can be recycled



4. Grow crops with the least amount of pesticides and artificial stuff
