THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT - DANGER TO HUMANITY

The green house has received a great deal of attention in recent years. As it is often mentioned in newspapers, magazines and T V reports - sometimes as 'global warming' - most people are not sure exactly what it is, or whether it is good or bad thing. The green house effect is a term for the warming influence of the atmosphere, which may be termed as most dangerous to the existence of human life on Earth.
The origin of the problem lie with rapid industrialisation, the clearance of tropical forests, and the burning of more and more petrolium, natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels. All these processes will increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This has increased by about 60 times than it was in
1860. Besides this, the increase of methane or ozone gases ( ozone hole is also growing on the upper layers of atmosphere) account for about 15% of human destruction. All these, results in warming up the atmosphere.
The forests that can be used to consume large amount of carbon dioxide and supply oxygen are shrinking at an alarming rate. The cold oceans can also store large amounts of CO2. But the warming of the atmosphere will also warm the oceans, thereby reducing the capacity of oceans to store CO2.
A rise of 2 - 3 degrees of celsius would have the most serious consequences in the polar regions, where it would cause the glaciers to melt. As a result of the green house effect (global warming), the ice caps melt and the seas rise, flooding cities, towns and farms, while blistering heat waves and devastating #f26522
floods ravage the land.
Little progress has been made in reducing the build-up of green house gases such as carbon dioxide, ozone, methane , water vapour etc., in the atmoshere. So far the results of international conferences and conventions have been disappointing. If the same process continues, it may result in great damage to human life on Earth.
About 50% of world populatdion is near the sea shore. If the sea level rises due to negligence of controlling green house effect, there is every possibility that 50% of population will become homeless. However there are plans to construct floating buildings and floating roads on the sea water, Also there are plans to manufacture cars that can move on earth as well as inside the sea water.
Most of the ice is located at Greenland and Antarctica. If this melts ocean levels are likely to rise considerably. Cities like London, Newyork, Losangeles, Sydney, Tokyo, Hongkong, Bombay, and Rio De Janeiro etc. are likely to be submerged in ocean water. Besides most of the coastal areas of India, Bangladesh, East coast of U S A  will be flooded by ocean water, rendering the residents of coastal areas homeless.
