Global Warming: A Cause for Concern

Comment from the contributor:

From <i> Times of India </i> --

Environmentalists are suggesting the planting of trees, especially neem and banyan, in order to help offset the effect of global warming. India is recognized as one of the world's top emitters of CO2. Should the temperature in India increase by a mere 2 degrees celcius, millions of people will become environmental refugees.

“ "If India's temperature rises by 2 degrees celsius, there will be millions of environmental refugees," Emmanuel D'Silva, environmental scientist, said, quoting studies in this respect. "And it is important to accept that we are part of the problem" instead of thinking it is happening due to somebody else's fault". ”
