INTRODUCTION:

During the last few decades the global environment has gone through serious challenges and changes. Population pressure has escalated rapidly. Consequently, resources have dwindled. However, in present context the use of natural energy resources, efficient use of water resources, massive plantations etc. have created a favorable environment for the remedial measure. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late. Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes.

A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day Foundation has information on planting and provides trees you can plant with membership. Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc into the atmosphere. The power plants emit large amounts of carbon dioxide produced from burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. About twenty percent of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere comes from burning of gasoline in the automobile engines. With the prospect of a third world war steadily receding, both politicians and scientists agree that the only other threat to planet earth is global warming. The amount of global warming, and the extent to which it depends on the increased concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activities, is the subject of debate. Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.

Global warming and climate change are aspects of our environment that cannot be easily or quickly discounted. Many factions still strongly feel that the changes our Earth is seeing are the result of a natural climatic adjustment. Regardless of one’s perspective the effects of global warming are a quantifiable set of environmental results that are in addition to any normal changes in climate. That is why the effects of global warming have catastrophic potential. Global warming may well be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. It could turn out to be the difference between a category three hurricane and a category four. Global warming as caused by greenhouse gas emissions can lead us to a definite imbalance of nature.

Fight for awareness:

As an effect of global warming species like golden toad, harlequin frog of Costa Rica has already become extinct. There are number of species that have a threat of disappearing soon as an effect of global warming. As an effect of global warming various new diseases have emerged lately. These diseases are occurring frequently due to the increase in earths average temperature since the bacteria can survive better in elevated temperatures and even multiplies faster when the conditions are favorable. The global warming is extending the distribution of mosquitoes due to the increase in humidity levels and their frequent growth in warmer atmosphere. Various diseases due to ebola, hanta and machupo virus are expected due to warmer climates. The marine life is also very sensitive to the increase in temperatures. The effect of global warming will definitely be seen on some species in the water. A survey was made in which the marine life reacted significantly to the changes in water temperatures. It is expected that many species will die off or become extinct due to the increase in the temperatures of the water, whereas various other species, which prefer warmer waters, will increase tremendously. Perhaps the most disturbing changes are expected in the coral reefs that are expected to die off as an effect of global warming. The global warming is expected to cause irreversible changes in the ecosystem and the behavior of animals.

Global Warming Skeptics

The global warming skeptics are of the view that the global warming is a good phenomenon and should not be stopped. There are various benefits of global warming according to them. According to the skeptics, the global warming will increase humidity in tropical deserts. Also the higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere trigger plant growth. As predicted, due to the global warming the sea levels will rise. But this can be readily adapted. Another argument of global warming skeptics is that earth has been warmer than today as seen in its history. The thought is that global warming is nothing to get afraid of because it just takes us back to a more natural set of environment of the past. Animals and plants appeared to do just fine in those eras of warm climate on the earth. According to few skeptics, the present chilly climate on the earth is an abnormality when judged over the geographical scale. Over geologic time, the earth’s mean temperature is 22 degrees C, as compared to today's 15.5 degrees C.

Effect of global Warming:

The marine life is also very sensitive to the increase in temperatures. The effect of global warming will definitely be seen on some species in the water. A survey was made in which the marine life reacted significantly to the changes in water temperatures. It is expected that many species will die off or become extinct due to the increase in the temperatures of the water, whereas various other species, which prefer warmer waters, will increase tremendously. Perhaps the most disturbing changes are expected in the coral reefs that are expected to die off as an effect of global warming. Even the penguins that live on poles are getting affected as a result of global warming. Due to melting of polar ice their life cycle is getting disturbed and which leads to death of many animals. Another effect of global warming will be on the vegetation that is available on the earth surface. The tundra type of vegetation will turn to temperate, cold deciduous and evergreen type of forest. Woody plant population will tend to increase as a result of increased precipitation. There will be a drastic change in the type of vegetation available in the area, which will in turn effect the inhabitation of the area.

As an effect of global warming the glaciers are retreating at an alarming rate and changing the entire environment of the mountains. This will bring about the most intense climatic changes and alteration in the habitat. There will be a considerable increase in the water level of oceans and seas as a result of melting of glaciers. This increase in level of seas and oceans will engulf land at the coastal areas and some low lying countries may even become submerged. As an effect of global warming there are rapid temperature changes expected in the future which will affect the length of the seasons. The winter will be quite short. This will imbalance the ecosystem and will effect greatly on the behavior of the birds and the animals. This will require a drastic change in the feeding periods of young birds and the availability of food for them. These climatic changes will also impact on the growing season for the farmers. The farmers are planting the seeds according to the seasons and rain, but since the rains are getting disturbed and also the climate is getting shifted, the sowing time is difficult to predict, which will lead to poor production and hence shortage of food grains. Much of the crop is also effect by the violent nature of the atmosphere like thunder storms and cyclones.

The effects of global warming are very large in number and still there are so many that are still to be found out. But recently the problem has become visible and evident due to happening of the events that were before just talked off.

Political Willingness to prevent Global Warming:

The signing of the Kyoto Protocols Agreement in 2005 is marked by what is perhaps the single most important political act relative to climate change and global warming to take place in history. This is the Kyoto treaty taking effect. The set of protocols binding developed and developing nations throughout the world to both standards and goals for greenhouse emissions is officially launched. The Kyoto Protocols as they are soon to be known as had been ratified by all major and actual nations with the exception of the United States due to political opposition has brought forth by President George W. Bush. At the world political summit in Gleneagle, Scotland, a general consensus of world leaders acknowledges that climate change as caused by industrial interaction represents a serious and long-term challenge. Hurricanes in unprecedented number punctuated by hurricane Katrina ripped through the southern United States and Caribbean creating tremendous awareness and concern relative to global warming and climate change.
By year’s end over 100,000 people around the globe hold organized marches for the first worldwide demonstration against global warming. Protesters called for binding international treaty legislation to control pollution overall and greenhouse emissions in particular.

Ponds:

A pond is a body of standing water, either natural or man-made, that is usually smaller than a lake. A wide variety of man-made bodies of water are classified as ponds, including water gardens designed for aesthetic ornamentation, fish ponds designed for commercial fish breeding, and solar ponds designed to store thermal energy. Ponds and lakes are distinguished from streams via current speed. While currents in streams are easily observed, ponds and lakes possess thermally driven micro currents and moderate wind driven currents. These features distinguish a pond from many other aquatic terrain features, such as stream pools and tide pools.

Ponds can result from a wide range of natural processes, although in many parts of the world these are now severely constrained by human activity. Any depression in the ground which collects and retains a sufficient amount of precipitation can be considered a pond, and such depressions can be formed by a variety of geological and ecological events.

Dung Management:

After an animal has digested eaten material, the remains of that material are expelled from its body as waste. Though it is lower in energy than the food it came from, feces may still contain a large amount of energy, often 50% of that of the original food. This means that of all food eaten, a significant amount of energy remains for the decomposers of ecosystems. Many organisms feed on feces, from bacteria to fungi to insects such as dung beetles, which can sense odors from long distances.^[3] Some may specialize in feces, while others may eat other foods as well. Feces serve not only as a basic food, but also a supplement to the usual diet of some animals. This is known as coprophagia, and occurs in various animal species such as young elephants eating their mother's feces to gain essential gut flora, or by other animals such as dogs, rabbits, and monkeys. Feces are also important as a signal. Kestrels, for instance, are able to detect the feces of their prey (which reflect ultraviolet), allowing them to identify areas where there are large numbers of voles.

Findings:

After a qualitative study particular key factors have been come out with some relevancies. First and foremost is to adopt all those ways in which our traditional systems relies in past. Ultraviolet rays directly come to the earth surfaces and drastically affecting the living things. There are prompt chance to develop carcinogenic cells in the animals’ body causing cancer and some other kind of non curable diseases. All countries should tighten laws and enforcement relating to emission of greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances. Because in this study the major things which come out is the lack of strong determination of the government. If government and some private non- government organizations tight their belt to fight with the global warming then it could not be a strong problem for the country.

Conclusion:

After the rigorous qualitative study and on behalf of the finding its dam sure, If population in this world start to use those resources those could be recycled and avoid more uses of those who could not be recycled. Traditional resources which are missing somewhere and not caring by the population should be use with a focused approach. Like in current scenario the uses of chemical fertilizers are more in comparison to natural fertilizer like Green Fertilizer and dung of animals. Scientists world over are working day and night to reduce the hazardous effects of Global warming. But, as a responsible citizen of the world, we must not forget that it is our prime duty to save this world from alarming effects of Global warming and thus save earth. With the human wants escalating heavily, the resources are decreasing. Hence it has become mandatory for the marketers across the globe to use the resources efficiently and not waste them under any circumstances. Worldwide surveys indicate that consumers globally are changing their behavior towards products and services.

Scope of the study:

But there are some people on the other side of the wall also, they believe that the global warming is a natural process and cannot disturb our ecosystem. The earth’s surface mean temperature was even higher a long time ago, and the ecosystem has evolved from that temperature to this. So it can evolve further. But the changes that are happening now are rather fast compared to earlier times.
