GLOBAL WARMING THRETENS TO RAISE SEA LEVEL

Rising sea levels make our nation disappear literally. But this fate awaits millions of people as global warming threatens to raise the level of sea. According to Koko Warner of the UN University, 24 million people around the world have become the refugees of the climate. "The international Organization for Migration"have estimated that the many people were forced to come out of their home because of the drastic climatic changes like lower agricultural outputs, drought,flood, storms, rising sea levels and many more.These thing will reach two hundred million by 2050.

This fact is really fearful for the people who leads their life in island around the world. Kolkatta-based environmentalist,Mr. Subhas datta had said that, the global power must end this complacency and tackle this crises on the war footing.Rising of sea levels may eventually wash some parts of the world map.In the year 2008, the UN,s intergovernmental panel of climatic change shortly IPCC warned that rise in sea levels 18 to 59 centimeters by 2100 would be enough to make the Maldives and Tuvalu virtually inhabitable.

The current president of Maldives, Mr.Mohammed Anni Nasheed asked his government to start saving in order to buy a new homeland for his country people. But it is not only a problem of rising sea level, even two degree centigrade increase would cause a significant bleaching of the coral reefs, which would devastate our food supply and livelihood.

Frequent hurricane will spoil the low-lying agricultural land. In the carribian tourism which is often considered to be the backbone of the entire region's economy could be affected due to this. In order to avoid these happenings, the developed nations should take immediate steps to cut down pollution. This can be done by bringing down Green house gas emission. The world need to change the way it produces and consumes energy. The proper measures should be taken in order to stop the new thermal power plant and shift the focus for energy consumption towards renewable energy.

If global warming is to be halted, energy efficiency is a key factor as every unit of energy is equal to 3 unit of new energy produced and it is possible to cut down carbondioxide emission before we attain 2050.
