Global Warming is one of the most searched terms on Internet. This is the most commonly used word today. Even entertainment industry have not lagged behind in raising this issue. There were some movies which addressed this issue very poignantly like The Day After Tomorrow which addressed the issue of modern ice age. In many of the countries Global warming have acquired a political status. Many of the candidates pursuing the 2008 Presidential race in US have raised Global warming and climate change as prime issues.

In reality what is global warming?

Scientifically Global warming is defined as process that will lead in rising Earth’s temperature . This reason for rise in Earth's temperature is attributed to an increase in greenhouse gases. The reason for increase in green house gases is attributed to the human activities. The temperature of Earth is raising at alarming levels.

Some may feel that why the slight increase in temperature bother us. Although that is correct but in one season of the year 2003 itself around 30,000 people died in Europe by heat waves. But Bjorn Lomborg controversial figure have been in news in recent times for his comments on Global warming states that more people on Earth die of cold waves than hot waves. So a slight increase in temperature will reduce the no of deaths due to cold spells which are bigger than killer heat. But many fear that increase in temperatures will melt the ice at poles thus increasing the sea level which will cause flooding and leave many homeless.

There has been some very serious debates on how does Global warming impact us now. Although we may see many changes in temperature and weather but those changes may not impact us directly sometimes it may only affect the next generation. We may not attribute these changes to the Global warming. The most desired after effects which our next generation are likely to face is cold snow storms, heat waves, flood, long spell droughts etc.

Global warming have been the source of ongoing debate between politicians and scientist worldwide. The nutrition statistics of the country may vary due to its climate, demographics and income. So reducing green house gas emissions from industrial activities means industries being closing down. Which will leave thousands of people jobless. So if we really aspire to cut on greenhouse gases then the need is to find out sources of nutrition which will be 5000 times more effective than spending billions of dollars on cutting greenhouse emissions.

Global warming may not necessarily impact our generation but coming generations are obviously going to bear its brunt. So it becomes our moral responsibility to devise the plans which will contribute towards the reducing the Global warming. Although through treaties countries can decide their future plan of action on which they need to work upon but as they say the revolution should begin at home.
