Go green

Green in one among the commonly used terms and it is dealt everywhere right from entertainment to politics. This word can be noticed easily in internet and now in television media too. Millions of ideas and concepts are caught up such as organic foods, lowering thermostat, etc. However, switching to a pure green world is quite impossible. We have started to focus on the topic how to go green and to support all the reason why to go green.   continue reading…

Green house effect

Solar energy is very important for all the living beings on the earth. However, about thirty percent of the sunlight will be deflected by outer atmosphere and are scattered into the space. The rest of the energy will reach the surface of the planet and reflected upwards like a slow moving energy types, which is known as infrared radiation.

The heat that is produced by the infrared radiation is basically absorbed by the greenhouse gases. Some of these green house gases include water vapor, methane, and ozone as well as by carbon dioxide. The will also slow the escape of the heat form the atmosphere. continue reading…

Earth day

EARTH is one among the oldest planet and popularly known as MOTHER EARTH. Earth is a fragile and a tough unit that is balanced by numerous ecosystems. These ecosystems balance the working of the entire planet. The balance of the ecosystem will play an important role in a cycle without a break. Therefore, a small damage in this eco system will greatly affect the eco chain.

Even though Earth works naturally, the current progress of the earth is decided on the humankind. The pollution and smokestacks, which are released every day is been damaging the atmosphere. This damage in the environment has caused a breakage and is found as an obstruction for the habitant of Earth. continue reading…

Global warming

Global warming is one of the most discussed topics in today’s world. It can be also called as atmospheric alert. Increases in carbon dioxide, which will combine with other gases are also one of the main factor, which is causing global warming. Even though there are many awareness programs happening, most of the people are not giving much importance to it. You can also experience an abnormal change in the environment because of the global warming. continue reading…

Global dimming

Global dimming is the gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth’s surface. Global dimming effect varies by location, but worldwide it has been estimated to be of the order of a 4% reduction over the three decades from 1960–1990.
Global dimming is a result of industrial pollution that produced sunlight-blocking aerosols. Because of the rapid rate of industrialization of China, India, and other Asian countries in the last few decades, there is still considerable global dimming today. Aerosols and other particulates absorb solar energy and reflect sunlight back into space rather than falling in to earth. The pollutants can also become nuclei for cloud droplets. Water droplets in clouds coalesce around the particles. Increased pollution causes more particulates and thereby creates clouds consisting of a greater number of smaller droplets (that is, the same amount of water is spread over more droplets). continue reading…

Climate change

The greatest social, economic and environmental threat faced by the planet today is the climate change. The change is already obvious with the increase in humidity and the receding icebergs. World nations are trying to get into some form of global agreement to stop drastic changes in the climate which will affect the earth in the long run. 

It is estimated that the earth’s temperature on an average has risen up to 0.76 ° C from 1850. Global warming is experienced for the past 50 years and is mainly due to human activities. Most important human activities affecting climate change is the increase in the emission level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from vehicles. Deforestation, animal husbandry, changing agricultural patterns and cement manufacture are some areas of concern which affect our climate day to day. continue reading…
