Remember our future is as good as Earth's future.
It's been a long long time since I blogged anything and it really felt like eternity :). There were hundreds of issues/things I could've talked about like the Attukal Pongala- possibly the largest congregation of women in the world or India's famous win down under or the brutal killings in Kannur, a district of Kerala. And I was a bit busy with work and I felt like I needed a break. And then that break went on and on. Meanwhile I learnt calisthenics, pliometrics and read some real good books.
In fact I was fascinated by a presentation sent by a senior colleague about global warming. And I thought this was something worthy of sharing. I've been learning more about this menace since last year after I read an article in a magazine.We all know that the average temperature has been going up since Industrial revolution, the amount of green house gases emitted has multiplied by many folds. As I watched the presentation I was reminded of the movie 'Waterworld'. Yes water levels are rising alarmingly and it's been predicted that seas would rise by 1.5 -2M by 2025, possibly putting many lives in peril. The reluctance of U.S to sign the Kyoto protocol adds up to the misery as U.S alone produces half of the world's pollutants. I don't know how this is going to be tackled but I want everyone to be aware of the danger looming ahead. I want people to come out from their 'state of denial' and rise up to the challenges.
