Reuse, Reduce, Recycle! These are the three words that can and will truly make a world of difference and help save the earth. Literally too, if each individual does his bit!

Situation Right Now
Over the history of this planet’s existence the climate has changed numerous times. Today the climate is beginning to change once again and although we have not learnt from history, there are many things each individual can do to prevent drastic climate changes like we have seen in the past. Learning how the climate change can affect you is essential for everyone in the world today. 

There is no doubt that the actions of humans on earth have been consistently contributing to the destruction of the environment and therefore the climate change. Global warming is by far the most severe form of climate change the world has ever seen. 

According to data from NASA we have experienced two of the hottest years on record within the past decade, 1998 and 2005. For over nine years consecutively we have been experiencing temperatures in the top 25 on record for warmth and this is more than a coincidence. 

According to a study completed by researchers and scientists at MIT there has been a 100% increase in the intensity and duration of severe storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes since the 1970’s. The study found that this is most likely due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions which is then increasing the temperature of the earth. 

The effects of global warming on the Indian subcontinent vary from the submergence of low-lying islands and coastal lands to the melting of glaciers in the Indian Himalayas, threatening the volumetric flow rate of many of the most important rivers of India and South Asia. In India, such effects are projected to impact millions of lives. As a result of ongoing climate change, the climate of India has become increasingly volatile over the past several decades; this trend is expected to continue say experts.
